Preventive health medicine should reduce the need to treat and cure the patient, but today, there seems to be great focus and emphasis in treating the symptom rather than the patient and or their illness.
Now, is the time to earnestly make serious and long lasting improvements which will impact the quality of care, service and cost of how health care is provided here in America.
But more importantly, it will emphasize the strength of recognizing the importance of the individual and the freedom to choose wisely in view of the certain consequences when one fails to both have the opportunity and also fails to take what opportunities are available.
The profit motive seems to have caused a conflict as well as a distinct disconnect such that the medicine practiced today promises as much side affects as it does promise to the patient …especially when patients become overmedicated.
