I just found a recommendation for this book, Lives of a Cell by Lewis Thomas (Dean of Yale Medical School and other impressive things). Apparently, in one of the essays, titled "Your Very Good Health," he says that "The great secret... is that most things [health problems] get better by themselves."
I'm really interested in reading this book. When I get time to read it, I'll have more fodder for discussing the medicalization of our society. This is something I want to think more about, but NEVER have time. Sigh.
