The times come when doctors are the blessing and irreplaceable. These times are when we have accidents, get sick, or psychologically push ourselves toward that facelift or tummy tuck. When I was young, a visit to the doctor was much more mysterious than the predictive present. Today, I feel like a car as we now undergo very similar procedures; a brake job or replacement part, troubleshooting or diagnosis.
I always thought it was fascinating that repair jobs at dealer service centers are looked up in the book, numbered and coded, labor time, cost and even ‘markup’ measured on the parts. It is interesting that over the years the system became more sophisticated and detailed, while the automotive industry pales in its complexities quite a bit compared to the medical field. After reading books like “The China Study” (T. Colin Campbell), you can’t help but notice the same reluctance in the Doctor’s intuition, since everything is written for them, this symptom and this drug. Most Doctors have been indoctrinated for so long in the School of Medicine that these drugs are the “Healers” of our time, they have lost sight of Faith, that when the body receives what it needs, it can heal itself.
What’s more of a mystery (just because it’s not talked about) is that our third leading cause of death in this country “IS” death as a result of these medications and / or misdiagnosis.
Meanwhile, we spend billions annually on health care in this country and we are no better in health than 30 years ago. When we, as individuals, take responsibility for our health through awareness, education and lifestyle, we will exceed our mile in both wellness and medical technology (more on responsibility in another article).
If you watch TV, you can’t help but notice the latest pharmaceutical commercials offering a secondary heart or depression pill to go with the one you’re already taking. And, “Side effects of diluted medications can include headaches, constipation, dizziness, and even sudden death. Talk to your doctor and find out if our medications work for you.” I love the new ending that says “If you can’t afford your medication, contact us and we will help you”, OMG.
Well, if any of this matters, let me clarify why it appears this way. It’s this way!
While doctors spend 6-10 years behind their books, most of them are the last to know that those books contain a stream of Dogma, packaged by the AMA and pharmaceutical companies that benefit from our American indulgence of solutions. fast and lazy lifestyles. The Medical INDUSTRY itself has to take into account that it is ONE COMPANY. Today, the entire industry is littered with policies, protocols, and procedures that have become routine, inflicted on the human public, and then documented. If you are a 53-year-old American male, and on the day of your annual exam, you are a little nervous and your blood pressure has risen a bit that day, YOU immediately qualify for blood pressure medication. Doctors are mandated to “go get the BOOK” so they should at least refuse before letting it walk out the door. This is simply to cover their butts due to insurance and industry standards. INSURANCE RULES? YES! I won’t even get into that right now.
I know that a well-written article should contain factors such as proper language, creativity, style, and interesting content, so I will no longer lead you to think that I do not admit that this is more of a spiel. So thanks for reading and ask yourself, what do YOU think?
