Subject: Female Issue & Business-Minded Doctors
Baba
Namaskar,
Gone are the days when patients held full trust in their doctors. In that earlier era, out of their deep desire to serve, doctors would guide their patients about their health and well-being. They performed their duty exclusively with the patient's welfare in mind - without any ulterior motive. With great care and compassion, they would inform patients about what to do, and what not to do. This was the norm. Those days are gone. Now, the vast majority of doctors have become business-minded. In the US, for instance, the "healthcare" system is not even referred to as medical service; but rather, the medical industry, where everything is based on the profit-motive.
This whole "culture" is very bad. On the one side, there are helpless patients; and, on the other, there are business-minded drug companies and business-minded doctors.
For these doctors and drug companies, service is not their motive - rather they want maximum profits. So they exploit the common people. These types of doctors and drug companies want more and more money from their helpless patients. Thus, they aggressively impose costly procedures and medicines on their patients. These medicines and procedures are not only useless and a waste of money, but harmful also. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of such procedures and medicines that are unnecessarily imposed on helpless patients by these doctors and drug companies. This is the dramatic shift that has taken place. Of course not every doctor falls in this category; here we are only referring to the prevailing trend among physicians and the "medical industry."
We will talk gradually on these points - one by one.
Following is one topic which is related with female diseases. Doctors often encourage patients with this problem to get an operation. But that is not needed. Those interested can read the article:
As many as 3 out of 4 women have uterine fibroids sometime during their lives, but most are unaware of them because they often cause no symptoms. Your doctor may discover fibroids incidentally during a pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound.
In general, uterine fibroids seldom require treatment...
