medical science-
Modern having had a great influence from the West especially the USA , It's slowly going away from the suffering patient to laboratory , where most of the management decisions are Taken on, this is very unfortunate .
The younger generation of doctors is brainwashed to think that if the laboratory Reports are normal , the patient should be all right. On the contrary, when the reports are "abnormal" , the poor patient is either drugged, or operated upon, irrespective of whether he is suffering or not . The main thrust seems to be to get that reports right ! in this Computerization era, This boils down to having the right boxes in the case sheet properly marked in the right places - that euboxic state ! Even when the patient dies, the doctors seems to be happy , As long as the patient had an euboxic death i.e. , At the time of that all the test result boxes were correctly marked, mainly to save the doctor's skin.
This is very sad, indeed ! Many times even when the person is absolutely asymptomatic and fit, some report or other , of which there could be hundreds today, on the routine check-up, might deviate from the accepted norms for a given laboratory. This is scientifically called the "false positive" reports would result in the Poor man being labelled as a patient and dealt with accordingly. While trying to bring the test results back to the normal range, the hapless person might be robbed of his health and happiness .
Sir George Pickering once said about drug treatment of asymptomatic mild- moderate high blood-pressure patients " the patient loses the rights and enshrined in the preamal to the American constitution written in 1772 by Thomas Jefferson, Of life ,liberty, and pursuit of happiness. "
Here is an interesting person anecdote. I once saw a young man of 37 who had been working in a Gulf with lots of anxiety his family was back home in India , a young wife and 2 small kids . The man became very anxious and failed to get sleep . He got into the habit of taking alcohol for sleep and became addicted to it. He started getting vague chest discomfort, which was, clinically , nothing but cardiac in origin. He consulted a couple of doctors in Dubai who told him that he did not have any heart disease . They did not , however bother to relieve him of his incapacitating symptoms . When he came back to India he saw a doctor in a big city, who got him completely checked up, Including a coronary angiogram, thallium scanning, Ecocardiogram, stress test etc., in addition to all the available blood tests at that time. At the end of all that he was told that the pain was not from heart but was not told what the pain was due to, and how to get rid of the pain. An empathetic look at this hapless young man would convince a good doctor how badly depressed he was and if one went into his mind one could unravelled that mysteries of his suffering . Clinical, patient- oriented medicine, could have easily given away the diagnosis without the loss of such hefty sums off money, to get his heart into the euboxic state . This kind of medical practice does nothing for the relief of patients suffering. But the whole process is now geared to To get money for establishment . Doctors are under severe pressure to Perform or perish.
Many of Imaginary epidemics of diseases are brought on by the medical profession to scare the common man ! in an editorial do epidemiologist cause epidemics , The lancet brings out the truth . let us, instead,concentrate on doing a maximum go to the suffering humanity, dysboxic as they are, and try to bring their whole clinical condition to the Euboxic state it .
We really need to invest Beyond what Main stream media says . Beyond the limitations of knowledge shared in Print , electronic media... 🍀🙏🏼
