Health dilemmas: what would you do?
Health choices are rarely just medical. A close friend brushes off a symptom you think is serious and asks you to drop it. Your doctor says your knees are done, a month before the race you trained all year for. A checkup ends with a quiet question about how you are really doing. These dilemmas sit where care, pride and comfort collide, for your own body and for the people you love. There is no medical advice here, just honest choices. Pick a side on each and see how other people answered.
