問題詳情
II.篇章結構10% People who are troubled by ailments visit doctors or therapists in search of good health. Doctors have traditionally prescribed pills, liquid medications, dietary modifications, rest, and exercise. 36 This therapy is extremely different; this “medicine” is alive and emotionally responsive. This new kind of doctors’ prescription is a pet. Recent data show a strong link between having a pet and good health and longevity. Remarkable data have emerged from research on pets and people with physical and mental disorders. 37 In one study, two groups of patients, one having pets, the other not, were compared. The former showed dramatic strides in health and positive attitudes. To illustrate, heart attack patients owning pets recovered more quickly than those without pets. 38 In fact, doctors have found that pet owners in general enjoy better health and longevity and have higher resistance to disease than those who don’t own pets 39 The love that emanates from pets is unique. When children are reprimanded, they can always depend on their pets to lend a sympathetic, uncritical ear. Pets are also a stabilizing influence for adolescents, who often experience turbulent emotions. 40 With health professionals opening up broader horizons in health care through pet therapy, pet ownership is a medical option that is increasingly being considered.
