Why settle for baseline health and fitness? PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE Matheson, G. O. 2004; 32 (12): 2-2

Abstract

Our medical system is principally based on disease. Fair enough. If patients have a problem that decreases function, they see a doctor, a diagnosis follows, and an attempt is made to restore their capacity to normal. When patients see a doctor, the physician's main concern is the presence or absence of disease and whether they can be treated in some fashion.
