You go to the doctor’s office he scribbles you a prescription and shows you the door. On the way out he says, “And what was your problem?” I exaggerate. It’s not really like that. But you never hear of a doctor ordering you to take it easy for a few months for no other reason than you’ve been overdoing it.
This seemed to happen all the time in early twentieth-century novels. Doctors were always prescribing a few months rest and relaxation (R & R) for their patients.
But according to a Reuters article last week (we don’t like to rush things on this blog, last week’s news is quite current enough) Taiwan’s hot springs businesses are petitioning government to pay for therapeutic immersion through health insurance.
I feel a whole lot better every time I relax in a hot spring. Will Taiwan’s government soak up the idea? We shall find out soon as, next week, discussions are being held with the Republic of China Hot Springs Tourism Association. Now that sounds like an august body that does a good job of ruminating. I hope they will be holding their meeting in the hot tub. Once you’ve had a good soak you see the world in a more friendly way. Taiwan has 500 hot springs.
Here in California we have a number of geothermal hot springs, so I hope our government is watching the outcome with interest. Well, one can always hope.
