Has medicine become a trade and not a humanitarian profession, but rather a commercial and investment profession?
In my opinion, there's a worrying trend toward treating medicine more as a trade or commercial enterprise rather than a purely humanitarian profession. With the increasing corporatization of healthcare, profit motives often seem to take precedence over patient care and well-being. Physicians and healthcare institutions are under significant pressure to generate revenue, which can sometimes compromise the quality and accessibility of healthcare services. it's also essential to acknowledge the need for sustainable healthcare systems and investment in medical innovation, it's equally crucial to safeguard the humanitarian values that underpin the medical profession. Without a concerted effort to prioritize patient welfare over financial gain, there's a risk that medicine will continue down the path of becoming primarily a commercial enterprise rather than a noble humanitarian endeavor.
Profiteering-from-disease Rasha A Waheeb has become the standard model of the medical profession, i.e. the disease-centered model of treatment (mainly drugs and surgery) is consequently a low empathy model, based on monetary profit.
It has to be mentioned here that treatment and healing are not the same; there exist other practical models for the medical profession, e.g. person-centered health care, integral health care, but the physician is always part of a society, i.e. certain working conditions, e.g. highly industrialized medical institutions.
Data on the health of health of (our) physicians are also alarming, i.e. the whole machinery comes with a price to pay, not only for the patients.
Conclusion:
A change in perspective is a must. As long as ‘modern medicine’ adheres to the tenets of ‘classical science’, subjects will be regarded as objects, consciousness will be reduced to (DNA) matter, and living beings as cadavers. This is not a figure of speech. Medical students still spend much time studying cadavers; without considering how this alienates them from contact with living beings.
Modern medicine manipulates politicians and the public by referring to the merits of classical science. Classical science is a deadly foundation for health care ! Classical science addressed invariance: action + reaction=0///No-change).Invariance was traditionally called Hell (closed system).
Modern’ medicine uses the philosophy of mechanical material control and domination (a war model) to overrule all ‘other’ forms of healing.
Few people (and fewer doctors) are aware how the medical model is crippled by ‘belief’ in classical science. The mechanistic material model is associated with control and mass production; it was developed for (and from) the study of inert matter. Living beings are thereby regarded by the mechanical material ‘laws of inertia/dead matter’.
Since 1900 science underwent drastic changes, not matter, but information is now the essence. The focus shifted from (classical, material) matter of physics, to (relativistic, molecular) chemical processes, to (probabilistic, atomic) electromagnetic interactions, and now to (phase-field) information integrity. All of these considerations can be recognised in the living being; but still need to be included in the classical medical model.
Recommended partly because if it is fully then no cure of disease and Doctors of medicine 💊 failed to prescription but somehow few testing and extra medicines of a prescribed company is trade ,my be of other may be less test.
