Dear Dr. Brothers:
I trust my doctor, but I
have issues. I am a pretty
healthy, happy person,
but every time I enter the
medical center, I seem to
get very tense. When he
examines me and talks to
me about my symptoms
or problems, I seem to
watch his face for every
little sign of concern, and
when he questions me,
I sound like some kind
of hypochondriac. Then
I am afraid to talk, and
I also think I’m holding
him up from his next
appointment. How can I
make this all go better?
— E.H.
Dear E.H.: It is pretty
common for people to
get a little tense when
they visit the doctor,
but the fact that you
basically trust him is a
NEW YORK (AP) —
You might say that Lady
Gaga’s year really began in
an egg.
That’s how she arrived at
the Grammys in February,
encased in a large, translucent
pod carried by scantily
clad dancers. When she
“hatched” onstage,
she effectively gave
birth to “Born This
Way,” performing
the eponymous lead
single of her second
studio album
and anthem to selfacceptance.
In 2011,
the album would
carry her around
the world, where she rarely
went unnoticed.
After a year of extravagant
globe-trotting and
relentless advocacy of tolerance,
Lady Gaga has been
voted Entertainer of the
Year by members of The
Associated Press.
There were 135 ballots
submitted by U.S. news
organizations that make
up the AP’s membership.
Editors and broadcasters
were asked to cast their ballots
for who had the most
influence on entertainment
and culture in 2011.
“I am humbled and
honored to be named
‘Entertainer of The Year’
by The Associated Press,”

what you are worried
about is how you appear

reaction to you will be
in the examining room.
We all dread finding out
that something is wrong,
and your fears are making
you behave in a way
that might very well be
raising some red flags
with him. His concern

Lady Gaga said in a statement
Monday signed
“Mother Monster.”
“My deepest gratitude to
the broadcasters and journalists
who’ve supported
me over the years, and in
turn, are now supporting
the loves of my life: my
fans. Thank you for
believing in ‘Born
This Way.’ May
you continue to
brave the dreams of
Showbiz.”
Lady Gaga narrowly
edged out the
late Apple founder
Steve Jobs by three
votes. Many others
received numerous votes,
including Taylor Swift,
Charlie Sheen, Adele and
the cast of “Harry Potter.”
Previous winners of the
AP Entertainer of the Year
include Betty White, Swift,
Tina Fey and Stephen
Colbert.
But it was Lady Gaga
whose eminence in 2011
stood out most to voters.
While accepting the best
pop vocal album Grammy
for her previous disc, “The
Fame Monster,” earlier this
year, she said stardom was
an adjustment for her.
“When I wrote ‘Born
This Way,’ I imagined

nervous, and around and
around you go. What you
donwant to happen is
for him to have a skewed
picture of your basic
emotional health — that
even could prompt him
to suggest some course
of medication that is
entirely unnecessary.
So, your problem really
should be addressed, for
your own good.
One way to approach
this may be to make an
appointment that doesn’t
include any prodding
or poking — ask for
a consultation in his
office, where you can
just talk calmly about
anything that is bothering
you. Write it down
in a list. Don’t worry
so much about his reactions,
but listen to his
words. You’re not alone

she said.
When the album was
released in May, 1.1 million
copies sold in the first week,
partly aided by a dramatic
discount from Amazon,
which sold it for 99 cents.
But it was an industry-shattering
moment because an
extraordinary 60 percent
of sales in the first week
were digital downloads.
Altogether, it outsold the
next 42 albums on the
Billboard chart combined.
As of October, worldwide

— a study by University
of Michigan researchers
found that doctors
and patients routinely
give each other many
nonverbal clues that are
misinterpreted by both
parties. Your doctor may
appreciate the sit-down
as much as you do.
Dear Dr. Brothers:
My husband and I have
always been polar opposites:
He loves to go
skiing and hiking in the
mountains; I prefer the
beach and working in my
garden. We’ve managed
to live in the middle of
the country for 20 years,
and have taken turns
going to vacation spots
where at least one of us
can be happy. But with
retirement looming,
we are starting to fight
lion copies.
“One of my greatest artworks
is the art of fame,”
the 25-year-old told “60
Minutes” earlier this year.
“I’m a master of the art of
fame.”

about where to relocate.
I would rather give in
than be at odds with him
all the time. Is that the
best course? — T.M.
Dear T.M.: It’s good
that you are thinking
about putting your long,
committed relationship
first instead of concentrating
on having things
your own way. But you
must realize that if you
think of it as just “giving
in,” that could set off a
whole other set of feelings
that could work just
as well to bring down
your relationship; there
is nothing like simmering
resentment to ruin a
marriage. So there must
be another way to look
at things and work out a
compromise. First, consider
whether you really
need to move anywhere.

You’ve obviously handled
your competing desires
throughout the years
in a way that works for
both of you. If you didn’t
get some enjoyment out
of the “taking turns”
approach, you probably
would have abandoned it
years ago.
So perhaps you could
continue that sort of
arrangement with some
longer vacations when
you don’t have to work.
You could rent two
places and visit each for
half the year, or look
into some kind of houseswapping
where you
could travel anywhere in
the world — maybe even
a new area that could
serve both your interests.
Think outside the
box — you have nothing
to lose by trying.
