\"hurricane\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Several days ago I remember watching a news interview on TV with a couple in NC about what they were going to do regarding their 4th of July plans in response to Hurricane Arthur. \u00a0At that time they were hoping the weather service was incorrect and they were planning to stay right by the beach until they had certainty the storm was coming.<\/p>\n

Now the power of Arthur is fact and we have pictures to prove it, similar to the one I have posted above. \u00a0I pray for everyone who is having to restore their homes following the devastation of the storm. \u00a0I also am thankful for all those who are engaged in rescue and relief efforts.<\/p>\n

Back to the couple I was in the TV prior to the storm. \u00a0I have no idea at what moment they decided Arthur was reality and took preparatory action. \u00a0I do hope they acted before it was too late to find safety. \u00a0It reminds of though of patients who receive signals of pain from their bodies but choose not to visit a physician. \u00a0When the pain becomes so severe then we see them in the Emergency Department. \u00a0Often because they have not taken action when the pain signals first appeared their chances for a full recovery are reduced. \u00a0Sadly for some patients, putting off seeing a physician means we are not able to prevent their death by the time they enter the Emergency Department.<\/p>\n

I see the regret loved ones feel when they wish their patient had acted more proactively to address their pain and save their life. \u00a0Please do yourself and your loved ones a favor and seek medical attention at the onset of pain rather than waiting until the pain is so unbearable you have no choice other than to seek assistance. \u00a0Consider pain as the weather service for your body giving you an advance prediction of when a storm is going to appear. \u00a0Proactive action is not only a gift to yourself but it is also a gift to those who love you.<\/p>\n
