I don't think that it is a flaw or we need look for a reason when an older person has health issues. If you don't, you will. It isn't healthy to be in denial about health issues and it isn't wise sometimes to ignore a medical doctor's advice. There is a reason why some medications are prescribed so often, and the reason is, they WORK.

You didn't fail anything or anybody or any goal if you need to take medicine and sometimes that medicine makes you healthier.

I have said this so many times before.
I'd have to say much more than Hmmmm. We're talking borderline hypochondria.
