The Care Effect
Member Curated (August, 2021)
"My patient who is battling cancer got a dog because she was told to do so repeatedly at support groups. They assured her that this would make a huge difference in her life and her health.
—
"'Did it?' I ask her.
—
"'It absolutely did,' she replied. 'That dog gets me out of the house to walk it, and keeps me company, and something else: I take better care of myself when I take care of something else. It rubs off on me.'" — Julie Holland; Good Chemistry, p. 208
