If It’s Not Broke, Don’t Fix It

Obvious enough, but what if it’s a little bit broke? Living with a little imperfection may be the right answer. Gallstones may be better left to the crematorium. Hernias that are causing no discomfort need not be rushed to surgery. Even cancer of the prostate can be so slow growing that the better option is to let it be. What’s more, some things that break a little can be fixed with patience and attention to root causes. If weight loss or a change in diet will fix some problems, it’s far better to see a nutritionist than a surgeon.
