LMN: Letter of Medical Necessity
The definition of medicine is something that is recommended by a medical professional for the prevention, reversal, cure, or mitigation of a condition. Doctor’s can write a prescription for food or exercise, and then individuals can use HSA or FSA funds to pay for the intervention. -Truemed
Author’s note: last week I reconnected with a recent doctor graduate about his education and plans for a residency program, and what fields he has an interest to specialize in. A lot of his international hospital experience was triage, but what about recommendations for addressing chronic ailments? Would that include interventions such as diet and exercise? I like how he wants to know so much in order to help others. That got me thinking about exercise as the greatest medical intervention. If there was a pill that could deliver even ten percent of the health benefit of exercise that would be a breakthrough. But we don’t need to wait for such a breakthrough, physical movement itself is good for the mind and body. My preference is five hundred minutes of activity per week, preferably in a pleasant natural landscape. Perhaps a long time ago, folks sought natural springs as healing water treatment, and of course, something bothering you… walk it off. Regards, Marky
