I think this stuff is very important. The Doctor's opinion was written in 1935. It would be logical for a newcomer to question whether it's still relevant in 2009.

You have coronary disease. To treat that you are placed in a room with millions of dollars worth of elaborate equipment with 10 specialists in lab coats.

YOu have alcoholism. YOU are placed in a dungy church basement with Joe the car mechanic, Jim the painter, and John the butcher.

Might not a newcomer think " Is THIS the best I can do?"

Without getting into a long story, I tell newcomers that although the Dr's opinion was written in in 1939, it still stands today in its substance.
This article supports that.
