"DOCTOR, WHY DID I GET SICK?" It's one of the questions people ask most often of their doctor. People want to know why they got sick and what they can do to prevent it from happening again. For 30 years, Roger W. Washington, MD has studied why people get sick when they do. It turns out the cause of sickness is rather simple.
