问题     One of the interesting things researchers at the UCLA Medical Center have discovered is that the environment of medical treatment can actually be enhanced if seriously ill patients can be kept free of depression.【F1】In a project involving 75 malignant melanoma patients, it was learned that a direct connection exists between the mental state of the patient and the ability of the immune system to do its job. In a condition of emotional devastation, immune function is impaired.【F2】Conversely, liberation from depression and panic is frequently accompanied by an increase in the body’s interleukins, vital substances in the immune system that help active cancer-killing immune cells. The wise physician, therefore, is conscious of both the physical and emotional needs of the patients.
    People who have heart attacks are especially prone to despair.【F3】After they come through the emergency phase of the episode, they begin to reflect on all the things they think they will be unable to do. They wonder whether they will be able to continue at their jobs, whether they will be able to perform satisfactorily at sex, whether they can play tennis or golf again. In short, they contemplate an existence drained of usefulness and joy. The spark goes out of their souls.【F4】 It may help for these people to know that in addition to the miracles that modern medicine can perform, the heart can make its own bypass around the occluded arteries and that collateral circulation can provide a rich supply of oxygen. A heart attack need not be regarded as consignment to a mincing life-style. Under circumstances of good nutrition, a reasonable amount of exercise and a decrease in the wear and tear of stressful events, life expectancy need not be curtailed.
    Plainly, the American people need to be re-educated about their health. They need to know that they are the possessors of a remarkably robust mechanism. They need to be de-intimidated about disease.【F5】They need to understand the concept of a patient-physician partnership in which the best that medical science has to offer is combined with the magnificent resources of mind and body.
    We need not wait, of course, for a catastrophic illness before we develop confidence in our ability to rise to a serious challenge. Confidence is useful on the everyday level. We are stronger than we think. Much stronger.
【F2】
