This year I have been treating a number of patients for lassitude following an illness.  Where possible I recommend a change of scenery for a few days, with plenty of fresh air.  A trip to the countryside is ideal; for those unable to travel a walk in the park should be beneficial.  It is however important not to overexert oneself.

Let us hope this excellent advice is followed.

One fears certain patients will ignore such sensible advice.

Wise, wise words. And the writer's style seems so familiar - such a delightful vocabulary. Could this article be the work of a certain former army doctor..?

This is highly possible, since he does on occasion provide articles to our publication.

Yes, avoiding overexertion makes a lot of sense. Overexertion of one's acting talents can be particularly troublesome, I find :)

We believe the doctor does advise against this specific mistake.

The occasional murder-solving may serve to induce interest in a lethargic patient.

Having consulted with the doctor, we can confirm this is the case, but is not often to be recommended.

Sound advice indeed! Unless you're the type who can find an irresistible puzzle in even the most remote places. (It seems to be an occupational hazard of certain detectives, mostly.) I'm not sure anything can be done for them. They'd probably find a mystery on the moon. :-p

There are some who resolutely intend to avoid the doctor's good advice.
