Quality of Life Concierge

This column is meant to demonstrate how medicine isn’t just heart medications and laxatives. It is meant to highlight how through proper medical treatments and ideologies one can enhance overall quality of life which includes physical, mental and social/spiritual well being. As ones mind is linked to their physical self which is in turn linked to their social/spiritual essence, improvement in just one of these categories will inevitable benefit the other two and our self as a “whole”, enhancing quality of life.
