There is no doubt when they say that HEALTH IS WEALTH. In fact, it cannot be over emphasized. we can say that money is good right? not to argue at all, but I think the number one thing that is the most important and should be our core priority should be our health.
After our health, then wealth can come in , cause it's he who has health that can enjoy his wealth but he that is wealthy but lacks the efficiency to enjoy his wealth, and that the only way he enjoys or let me say the only way a sick rich person can use his wealth is by taking care of or rather sustaining their lives with their money, and funny how there's no even assurance that their money will save them.
To Many of us, we might feel like it's not always necessary to do the medical checkups, cause is that not a lot of money thrown into the doctors pockets?
Let me actually speak for myself, you cannot blame me so much when it comes to not going to the hospital for checkups.
Since I was born, or let me say, since I knew how to eat all by my self, I've only gone to the hospital for a checkup or treatment for maybe a maximum of 3 times, and this was over 10 to 15 years ago, I was little, but because it's the hospital, I can still remember what it felt like.
Ever since the last time I went for a treatment, where I was given one kind of injection that made me not to walk well, I can so remember, I've only gone to the hospital again because I needed to escort my dad there.
It's only my dad that goes to the hospital for checkups and treatments and so I have to escort him there, but if not of that, there's almost no reason why I'm going there.
I mean you could call me a man of faith, I just don't believe in going there, because I get backing!!!
All of what I have said doesn't justify the fact that not going to the hospital for treatment or checkups is the right thing to do, in fact it is very important and I guess should be mandatory to make people go to do that once in a year checkups, we cannot really know what wrong with us sometimes unless we do a proper checkup.
I remember the last time I went to the hospital, it was to meet a very dear person to me, months before he was admitted to the hospital, he was so fine, we even went to different cities in the country just to explore and have fun.
It was his dream to travel round the world and get paid for having fun . Does that make any sense? Well, to him it did and it meant a lot to him, that was his first time traveling to different places, it was the beginning of awakening his dreams, but his health were one way or the other against him.
He had a terrible sickness, that sickness had probably been in his system for a long time but because he didn't like going to the hospital for proper checkups.
Also the time he even went to the hospital, the doctors still told him that all he had was malaria and typhoid, unknowingly to us all that he had a very severe sickness which was due for a transplant.
But unfortunately he lost his life because of the crazy money called For his treatment and some other inside issues that I will not like to talk about.
If we usually have an annual checkup it might help us detect somethings that might need urgent attention to save lives, so yeah, it will be nice to see that we have such enforcement on health care, because it shows that the governments takes priority in our health.
