HIPOCONDRÍACOS
Nos Estados Unidos a frenética obsessão dos hipocondríacos custa 20 milhões de dolares por ano ao sistema de saúde. A New Yorker tem um belíssimo artigo sobre o assunto. Excerto:The interaction between the hypochondriac and the physician, subverts everything that a doctor is taught about how to communicate with patients. Expressing concern only reinforces the hypochondriac’s sense that something is awry. Marshalling the considerable technological resources of modern medicine, by ordering sophisticated blood tests and high-resolution M.R.I. scans, still falls short of providing reassurance. . Leiam o resto, que vale a pena.
