Maximal Living
By UAB’s Mark A. Stafford, M.D., F.A.C.P.
Dedicated to helping you improve your quality of life.
In this column, I hope to share with you three things:
1. Learning how our bodies talk to us (they’re always speaking-sometimes whispering, sometimes screaming!) in health and disease.
2. Ways to maximize our quality of life by attending to the whole person-physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
3. Answers to questions you want to ask your doctor but are afraid, ashamed or just forget to ask.
