Complexity of diagnosis: the importance of re-connecting to our bodies and symptoms of illness and disease Walk the Lung Talk with Dr Sam Kim

When attending a medical consultation, it is important to deeply feel of the bodily symptoms as illness and disease do not develop overnight but evolve over days, weeks, months to years.  By neglecting how our body responds under the stressors of life, diagnosis is made more difficult and often more challenging because the physician will need to rely on the expectation of what certain diseases can derive certain combination of clinical signs and symptoms.  While the physician's approach is appropriate, the precision of Medicine is greatly magnified when the patient is able to discern what is true and what is not for his or her body when the ill-health strikes.
