Twenty seven years oldDr. Robert Gallagher, went into medicine for a reason. His urge tohelpother people was one that he couldn't ignore. For years, he watched his mother suffer with hypertension and other illnesses and it wasn't until he was in college, that he realized the connection with stress.A General Practitioner in a busy hospital, his patients were ones who returned for follow-ups. The prevalent issue among them was that they would come for their follow-up feeling worse than they did when they were discharged.Confused and sympathetic towards them, he consulted with other doctors on what could be the cause.One of the most common illnesses he noticed was hypertension. From experience, Robert knew its connection to stress. Unsatisfied with their arguments, he continued his research. Their argument was that the patients were not taking their medications and changing their lifestyles, etc. knowing that that was just a stigma, he disregarded their advice.Stress is a significant complaint among his patients and he knew that it contributed to their illnesses. He discussed with them their lifestyle changes since discharge. They all complained of medical bills and having to work more. That extra work and worry increased their stress levels, and slowly, their conditions worsened. In an effort to help his patients in a more practical way, Robert decided to write a couple of books. In his books, he discussed ways to reduce stress, and thus, reduce the various forms of illness that resulted from its high levels. Dr. Gallagher'spatients benefited immensely from his books and his work was greatly rewarded when he received great adulation from his colleagues and patients. His book titled'Stress Management'quickly became his firstbest-seller.
