As a physician it is my job to help each patient live the best quality of life possible.  
Medications or surgical interventions help with many diseases, but these are just two ways to improve medical conditions.

The most utilized therapists are trained in speech, occupational and physical therapy.  These therapists are available to help patients in the hospital, clinic and home health settings.
