They rarely study the cause of the disease or illness, and many people who make these medications who these doctors prescribe are all in it for the money.
I'm afraid that's simply untrue, my mother is a GP, and if you were to look at her books, in this case the ones documenting various diseases, or even the British Medical Journal, any disease documented will have (if known) the common causes, risk areas, and if not known, it will state possible theories.
Lets see....the medical category and the drug category in terms of sales make BILLIONS of dollars a year. So tell me, why would these people "Actually" want to cure someone, if they make sooo much money off of sick people?
Because that is how they make their profit. Of course they sell drugs that treat symptoms as well, but even something as simple as Ibuprofen or Aspirin treats the cause as well as the symptom, as they are anti-inflammatory. If the medication did not affect the disease itself, then it would not be marketed as a cure
and a pretty nice bill, if you have no insurance in some cases. Well lets say you ask the doctor what is the cause and why did I get this or that sickness?....the doctor will not answer to the best of his ability for
a. He does not know the answer..(they don't really teach the *real* causes of things like this in college to doctors, let along anyone else).
See above.
b. The doctor knows the answer and gives a small reply, ow its because...the reply's do NOT EVEN HELP, the DOCTOR DOES NOT EVEN tell you how to prevent this ....but the doctor, just tells you to take this or that medicine and those antibiotics...
Again, untrue. This may seem the case as viruses, for example cannot be combated from the outside, as the work inside our bodies cells, meaning destroying the virus would destroy our cells. The doctor will often suggest inoculations and other forms of prevention.
Well okay, the doctor helped you your disease or illness, with medicine. Well, ask the doctor...doesn't medicine make you better in one case but damages or makes you worse somewhere else?....... They will hesitantly answer yes....and ask them why....they will not know how to reply.
No one denies that certain medicines do have side affects, but the doctor will warn you about these, but the vast majority of medication has no serious side-effects, and can be taken as ordered without affecting you in a large way. A GP, the person who prescribes you the medicine is not expected to know the details of each individual drug, as they are doctors not chemists. They know the effects and side-effects, and have to decide whether the drug or medication in question will either solve or suppress the illness.
1. Many people do question their salaries, but money makes the world go round, in my opinion, their salaries are okay for what they do give you.....they give you, prescription medicine....
Of course they prescribe you medicine, but also various types of therapy, simple common sense advice, ways to make your life easier during the course of the illness.
2. I wanted to become a doctor....until I did some reading, then I did A LOT MORE READING....and well.. I would love to full out help people....but doctors in my OPINION ONLY, help the symptom NOT THE CAUSE.....like I said, working on the symptom is not really a cure for your sickness or illness, but a cure for a mere symptom.
Again see above, it is not always possible to attack the cause, often the body must do this itself, in which case the doctors job is to make life as comfortable as possible, and aid the immune system in any way possible.
...are you over weight? If you are....past medication could have caused it...
There are countless cases where medicines have had unexpected side-affects, and yes, I'm sure an increase in weight may be one of them. But, there are multiple times the amount of people who are now living a better life after being treated. My grandfather for example, enjoys an active lifestyle at over 80, despite numerous heart problems because he has been treated by doctors.
4. My friends and family especially my cousin, is in the industry to HELP to the best of his ability the sick people, he is always working extra hours devoting his time for another....I do like doctors...and their devotion, and caring that they are showing, but I DO NOT LIKE their methods and in my opinion, their methods are the real CAUSE of their patients FUTURE ILLNESS OR DISEASE.
I don't mean to be offensive, but frankly blaming a treatment for the illnesses of the future is ridiculous, the main causes of diseases are bacteria and viruses, you cannot blame a doctor for someone having picked up either. However, you
can thank the doctor for helping you recover from both.
5. to help people............haha... those that come up with the methods to help people....are in it for the money....if they DO CURE YOU, or HELP YOU, they LOSE MONEY, THEY LOVE MONEY.
Undoubtedly, there is a huge amount of money in the treatment industry, but to say that everyone who develops a treatment does it for money is a skewed statement. If their medication did not cure you, or at the least aid you in some form, they would not be approved, they would not be prescribed, and they wouldn't sell. The cost of research is huge, if there wasn't a large amount of profit in such an industry, then we could not progress in the world of medicine. There
is a lot we don't know, but we are working to find out.
6. pharmaceutical companies that charge exorbitant amounts of money..........I hate those companies, and would personally love it, when they start losing billions instead of making billions......they don't help you, they are a FOR PROFIT INDUSTRY....the BIGGEST IN THE WORLD...them and the ones who actually sit there making these *helpful medicine*.
I think this is your main issue, but your hatred is not a valid point against them. Being a for profit industry does not exclude the possibility of helping people, and as I have said, they need to make profit in order to do research. I am not denying there is an aspect of personal gain in this industry, like any other, but even this means the industry has to do what it is meant to do, as if it didn't, it wouldn't stay economically functional.
If our health industry collapsed, suddenly the amount of deaths per day would multiply. Where would we get anesthetic for operations, and antibiotics to treat sceptic and infected wounds.
What would happen to my friends when they got injured during an operation abroad, or when I got stabbed by a gang after a night out with some friends?
I'm sure you know someone who is diabetic, what would happen to them without the hormones they need to control their blood sugar levels?
What would happen to your parents when they get older and need medication to keep their blood pressure under control?
What happens to you when your kidneys shut down due to inflammation?
Will you still say all medication is bad and doesn't cure you?
Will you refuse dialysis like you refused the antibiotics that could have saved your kidneys?
People were so eager to some up with something to say in chat, against my accusations so I am only wondering, did anything I wrote here or said on chat a couple of days ago, change your views of the medical industry and their so called * help* with medicine?
No, I'm aware, as most people are, that medicine has it's shortcomings, but our life expectancy has doubled in the past centuries thanks to it.
Thanks to medicine we can enjoy a range of hobbies and activities which otherwise would undoubtedly have been to risky.
Thanks to medicine we no longer have to send lepers out of cities with bells around their necks.
Thanks to medicine we can save thousands of people affected by drought, flood, war, famine, even events like Hurricane Katrina are less painful than they would have been 100 years ago.
Think of the sorrow people suffer now, and now imagine the same if every person who got an infection, every person who picked up a disease from the refuge camps had died.
Think of that and tell me medicine does not help us.
