A.“I‘dbetterfindouteverythingIcanaboutthisoperation—youcanneverknowtoomuch.”
B.“Don’ttellmethedetails.It‘sgoingtobefine.”

Out-and-outdenialmaybethebestapproachtosurgery,accordingtoRichardS.Lazarus,professorofpsychologyattheUniversityofCaliforniaatBerkeley.WithFrancesCohen,Lazarusstudied61patientsabouttoundergooperations(allrelativelycommonoperations)。
Ingeneral,patientsfollowedoneoftwomentalstrategies;
“avoidance”or“vigilance.”
Typically,avoidershadnotdiscussedtheirsurgeryindetailwithanyone,didn‘twanttoknowaboutitanddidn’tdwelluponitsrisks.
Incontrast,vigilanttypeswerealerttoeverydetail.Manysoughtoutarticlesabouttheirdisorders.Theywantedtoknowtherisksofsurgery,therisksifsurgerywasnotperformed,thesurgicalprocedures,thepotentialcomplicationsandthelikelihoodofrecurrence.
WhenLazarusandCohencomparedthetwogroupsaftersurgery,theyfoundthatavoidersgotonmuchbetter.Theyhadalowerincidenceofpostoperativecomplicationssuchasnausea(恶心),headache,feverandinfection.Thenetresult:

Onereasonmaybethattheirdenialmakeroomforhope,oratleastforapositiveoutlook,evenunderthegrimmestofconditions.“Neverdenythediagnosis,butdodenythenegativeopinionthatmaygowithit,”advisesNormanCousins,authorofAnatomyofanIllnessandTheHealingHeart.Why?
Becausegrimwarningsaboutdiseasescomefromstatisticsontheaveragecase.Cousinsbelievesthatmostpatients,givenhopeanddetermination,haveagoodchancetotranscendtheaverages.
AddsDr.Hackett:
“Deniersseethemachinesthey‘rehookeduptoashelpingthemtogetwell,notasasignofabadlyfunctioningheart.Thosewhofeelmostpositiveabouttheirabilitytogetwelltendtodobetterthanthosewhofearandworrymore.”

Thequestiontoaskyourself,Dr.Lazarusexplains,iswhethertheinformationyougatherwillhelpyousolveaproblem,orwhetherthereislittleyoucan
