Medicine and Money
Unfortunately we all know that most of jobs and services in our society are based on money.
Surely we do not expect people to love us and consequently give some services for free. But I
think if there were a little bit sense of conscience and responsibility among us, we would have
a better life and more healthy society. This is more important for physicians, pharmacists and
generally medical careers. Here I will challenge the greed to gain money in these jobs and its
consequences for ordinary people.
If we have appropriate rules, then we will have better condition in terms of medicine and
medical system. However this is not the entire story, we need a little sense of
humanitarianism as well. Here I would like to explain some tragic fact about these careers that
we usually may not pay attention to it.
Firstly, it is clear that most of medical equipments like MRI, CTScan, etc cause some harms in
our body. On the other hand, they usually are expensive and if I as a physician buy it, I
probably will be tempted to use it more and more in order to back my investment. As a solution
I suggest that it’s better to have separated assessment units.
One of the most important points is that if we all are healthy, there will not be huge profit for
medical careers, so they do not like us to be healthy. Sorry to say that their main tendency in
assessment and treatment is to make us dependent and unhealthy and make themselves
wealthy.
Moreover there are just few physicians that encourage people to have healthy diet and lifestyle.
Overall I believe that although most of determiners in health ministry are already physicians so
there will not be dramatic changes in health system, we can change our situation by gaining
more knowledge about health and medicine.
