l suppose there's a moral
here. Don't be color blind
when the doctor says there's
a red light ahead. Accept his
diagnostic vision. Otherwise,
you're liable to go right
through it and wind up in a
terrible crash.

How do you react to a red
light when driving? Do you
disregard it entirely? Chances
are you don't. But do you
ever try to ''beat it,? Do you
speed for the yellow, hoping
you can get past in time?
Well, an occasional misde-
meanor like that probably
won't get you into trouble-if
you're lucky. There's always
the potential, serious accident
in the offing.
There are many other red
lights and stop signs in life.
Take your health, for exam
pie. It's our job as doctors to
stand ready to push the but
ton to change the light from
green to red whenever we see
signs of dangerous illness.
What happens? You know
the answer, because It's likely
that you've seen examples in
your own family or among
your friends: Many people &C.
tually disregard these warn
ingS and 60 on to destruction.

wasn't any truth in it. Now
