Thanks for this OP!

My one quibble is that I'm not sure that the labels of the two categories you set up as contradictory - spiritual vs medical - work. The opposing viewpoints you're labelling are perhaps better described as: physical vs psychological, material vs imaginary, rational vs spiritual, evidence-based vs faith-based...

I know lots of people who'd describe themselves as deeply "spiritual" who still would avail themselves of all medical and psych services available should the need arise.
