You could summarize the research in a set of guidelines:

　　 In general, it is best to block out medical threats and worries when there is nothing you can do about themsay, after youve decided to undergo surgery. Dont dwell on all that could go wrong or visualize every fearful detail; concentrate instead on what is likely to go right.

　　 Be vigilant about matters that you can control, such as paying attention to signs of illness.

　　 Find out your personal disposition to avoid details or to acquire all information possible, and let your own inclination be your guidebut only up to a point. Many of those who gather any and all facts are putting themselves through more stress than they need to, Miller says. She advises them to learn when their approach will only increase their anxiety. In those cases, theyd do better to turn off their radar. On the other hand, avoiders should recognize when it is valuable to gather more facts than they might like to.

　　The basic advice is clear: dont feel guilty if you decide to take the rosy view. Concentrating on the positive turns out to be medically sound.

　　1. It is suggested in the passage that if you were a vigilant patient, you should learn to adopt a new strategy of avoidance because it brings you less stress.

　　2. The doctors are discovering that the best medicine is often simply to deny the worst and expect the best.
