Default "Spiritual Health"

I wonder what my old Philosophy of Science Professor would think about this? I can just see my local doctor asking me-- "And how do you rate your Chi?"

Quote:
Evidence suggests that patients’ health and quality of life could benefit if their doctors gave more attention to spiritual health—and this could even help the doctors themselves, according to experts from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

In a July 27, 2017 JAMA Viewpoint article, Harvard Chan School’s Tyler VanderWeele, professor of epidemiology, Howard Koh, Harvey V. Fineberg Professor of the Practice of Public Health Leadership, and co-author Tracy Balboni of Dana Farber Cancer Institute outlined recent research suggesting a broad protective relationship between religious participation and population health as well as the value of spiritual approaches to medical care, particular at the end of patients’ lives.

Might it boil down to bedside manner?

Being right with your Lord is always a good thing.
