The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 23, 1990 - Page 5 Medical author speaks at "Community Wellness Fair" by Joanna Broder Daily Health Issues Reporter_ __ While there have been many medical ad- vances recently, along the way some doctors have forgotten about the feelings of their pa- tients, said Dr. Bernie Siegel, President of the American Holistic Medical Association at last night's Community Wellness Fair. Siegel was the keynote speaker for the fair that took place in the Power Center. Siegel, author of the recent book Peace, Love, and healing initiated his talk with the request that all people who had never be- * fore received applause stand. After slightly hesitating, a few individuals rose and the rest of the audience clapped and cheered. Siegel explained to audience members that he was "unhappy as a physician." He went on to say, "I didn't know how to help people I couldn't cure. . .(there was) no course in medical school on how to help people live. " Siegel started a support group, Excep- tional Cancer Patients (ECAP), in the late 1970s. ECAP, is a form of individual and group therapy. "I feel like there are a lot of shortcomings at the University hospital that get in the way of practicing medicine the way Bernie de- scribes it," said David Miklethun a nurse at the University hospital. The fair was sponsored by Parish Partner- ships of Washtenaw County. The Partner- ships is a coalition of churches, synagogues, temples, mental health organizations, educa- tors and individual members. The Partnerships have designated Febru- ary as Washtenaw county Wellness Month. The fair included educational exhibits on various health related issues. Organizations such as the American Heart Association and the Washtenaw Council on Alcoholism set up information booths at the fair. Among the other exhibits was a model of a mouth with a decaying tooth.

Den- tist, Jim Olsen said he hoped to relieve peo- ple's anxieties about visiting the dentist by providing them with education. The Washtenaw County Health Division offered free cholesterol screening at their booth. Sandra Lizarraga, a volunteer at the Cen- ter for Eating Disorders, which was also rep- resented at the fair, said, "I think there needs to be a lot more education about Anorexia; Bulimia, and healthy eating habits- that's definitely part of wellness." Another fair will take place at Eastern Michigan University tomorrow and will be centered on minority wellness issues.
