Dear Friends,
Have you seen the movie The Boys in the Boat? I highly recommend it, and heard the book is even better. It’s a great story about the 1936 USA Olympic 8 man crew team’s quest for a gold medal in Germany. At the end of the movie, the main character has now aged and is walking with his grandson. When his grandson asks if he liked rowing in an 8 man crew, the man looks at his grandson and answers: “We always rowed as ONE.”
I thought that was great, and of course saw an analogy to our health. When I moved to Plymouth 30 years ago, it seemed you went to one doctor for everything. Things have changed: now you go to see a specialist, a doctor with the absolute most knowledge of that body part or system.
These doctors are great, BUT there is a problem. YOU aren’t a liver, a brain, a heart, a set of lungs or kidneys, a pancreas, a skeleton, a bladder, or a bag of intestines. You are one human being with many parts that row as one. Individual organs rarely have an issue that doesn’t spill over to another part of the whole. In fact, the reason I love team sports is that it exposes which teams have the best depth.
My favorite football coach would often say, “You are only as strong as your weakest link.” Our bodies mirror that statement. Work only on your strengths and your weaknesses will become more apparent. To maintain optimal health, it is imperative that you advocate and coordinate your medical care so that your doctors are all on the same page.
So go for the gold and row, row, row, your boat- LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!
