What do i read if i want to get over my fear of diseases and physical pain in general? Death itself does not frighten me, but the probability of being bedridden at a hospital, unable to do anything due to agony, while being a burden to anyone who had the unfortunate luck to be associated with me, really messes me up every day. I am grateful for being in relatively good health in this moment, but the more i read about how common each horrible disease is, the more i find myself dreading the close future where i am cursed with it. Even something like pic related (kidney stones) scares me. Let alone anything that has to do with nerves or the spinal cord.

So, what books are helpful in regards to facing that reality? It's a very necessary skill that has to do be developed, and i don't really know how to go about doing it.
