How do you approach doctors and illness? The four faces of your health attitude

Six situations we have all been in: pain, check-ups, conflicting opinions. Find out whether you are a preventive, researcher, self-reliant or trusting type. Not medical advice, just self-reflection.

1. A mild but stubborn pain has lasted two weeks. What do you do?
2. Your doctor recommends a new medication. What is your first reaction?
3. What does being healthy mean to you?
4. You get an invitation to a screening, but nothing is wrong. What do you do?
5. Your doctor's opinion differs from a reliable-looking source you read. What happens?
6. How do you prepare for an important medical exam?
