I second the views of the author. There can be more than proposed alternatives to reach there.
I recently switched to Ayurvedic doctor as I wanted one doctor to be constant for my all the treatments except (accident, dentistry and eye specialist). Not that it is cheap but I know he knows me really well and does not make list of tests to done to find out whether I should be given anti-biotic or not.
Gladly, I have observed that Ayrurvedic doctors are doing traditional practice are increasing.
I honestly do not like hospitals, doctor for chest is different than for bladder, if that was not enough person who does gastroscopy is another. Wait when you go in hospital dietician is top up. If you are doing surgery then anesthesia and whole bunch of tests for fitness certificate. While I appreciate having such specialists but there must be some pragmatism for “tick boxes” and specialists should have at least basic knowledge of body than just make tail of doctors treating single patient.
The article is absolutely correct when it says that we need more doctors doing general practice, and I will add to it by saying that those doctors should also practice preventive medicine. My father is one such doctor who has been doing general practice after doing MD medicine. But, PATIENTS themselves are to blame for it. Everyone wants specialist only nowadays. Apparently MBBS followed by MD (Internal Medicine) is not enough for a lot of patients because even for the treatment of common ailments, they want a neurologist or nephrologist or diabetologist to treat them. So obviously, doctors of my generation arent going to waste their time doing general practice. You are getting what you are asking for.
For the gentleman who says that investigations done for fitness for anesthesia are pointless: very few anesthetists will ask for unnecessary tests unless your medical history demands it or your behaviour suggests to us that you aren’t very honest about your medical history. As far as having “basic knowledge of the human body” is concerned: all of us have that basic knowledge. That is what we spent time doing for 5.5 years when we did MBBS before specializing further. Also, if you believe that anesthesia is a simple procedure, think again. When we give you anesthesia, we arent making you go to sleep. We are putting you into a medically induced coma. Following that we give you life support and keep you alive throughout the surgery and then we get you out of that coma. Do you want us to do a shabby job of that? If you dont want to wake up from the anesthetic, then fine, we will not ask for the relevant investigations. Just instruct your family members not greedily drag us to court when a complication occurs. When you believe you know more than a professional who has spent nearly a decade training to become that professional. When you believe that your 5 minute google search somehow makes you more expert than a decade of practical training, endless reading, passing a plethora of exams and seeing the same thing day in and day out, you can treat yourself. We would be happy to not have to deal with the likes of you.
This Is a very well written article highlighting the one of the foremost problem of today but is highly ignored, another point I must add which I came across these days is trend of super specialisation a dr checks the patient only for the disease he came to him and ignoring the underneath problem he is suffering, for example a patient goes to a cardiologist for a chest pain and is also suffering from burning micturation or some other problem he will tend to ignore the other problem he’s having and this sometimes leads to severe complications.
Thought provoking article indeed. One solution may be to create a specialisation for family practice as some countries have.
