Mind you, it's very different from what it used to be. It's generally smaller and more mobile, consist- ing only of the parents and their children. A three -generation house- hold today has become unusual. Nevertheless, the individual's health is very often a fancily matter. Medicine, recognizing this, has placed more and more recent em- phasis on the family doctor — a physician who sees each member of the family not just as an indi- vidual but, in some ways, the prod- uct of the family and community group. Quite apart from heredity, there are many ways in which the health of one family member can be af- fected by that of another. The disturbed. unhappy child, or the adolescent on the street, or on drugs, is more likely to be the product of an unstable marriage, or of uncommunicative or alcohol - abusing parents, than of a "happy" home. There are less dramatic examples of family health relationships: death or illness of one member may affect others to the point where they require treatment; the new baby may create disruption in the health and behavior of other chil- dren in the family. In fact, it's especially in the areas of stress and emotions that the ties between one member and another are most apparent. Parental bick- ering, which may have its roots in economic or employment concerns, can obviously affect the children. Even the family doctor can't smooth over all the problems. But the first responsibility for the family's health lies with the fancily itself. The much -talked of genera- tion gap, often a cause of family stress and conflict, can still be bridged by good communication — listening, as well as talking, to each other. And by parents who offer their offspring not just money and goodies, but give freely of their time and show interest. Once these roots of family health are firmly established, the family physician can deal with occasional problems that may affect the plant itself. To keep it blooming, the physician should be given an op- portunity to know the family. Find a family doctor before you really need one — and give him all the facts he requires to do his job.
