This post is really interesting, a look into the future of medicine and technology.

But let me highlight the part I found even more important here, from my own point of view.

It's so true that so many times it's the patient itself to create the illness and he doesn't really want to heal.

Many reason behind this choice that would seem absurd but indeed is quite common: patient feels comfortable with his illness and gets attention and much empathy from people around him; therefore is justified for many things he may do just because of the problem he has.

It's very interesting that in Japan this idea is mainstream! Not in the west, since now.
