Today’s post is a few of my observations about medicine:
- Medicine defines health as the absence of symptoms
- Medicine for all its technical achievement falls short in making or keeping people healthy. It relies on brute force either through surgery or dangerous drugs to simulate a healthy state.
- Achieving good health requires finding advisors outside the medical industry (Nutrition, fitness, counseling are examples).
- Health has more attributes and dimensions than can be measured by medical parameters. Such things as attitude, social support and purpose greatly affect the overall health of an individual and are difficult to quantify.
I would like to know if anyone shares these thoughts with me. Have you found resources that help you be more healthy? Do you have ideas for improving health care?

Hello ,
Well you are right in all the points , but one thing I need to add the medical fraternity know all this week points and soon coming with a new branch of medicine called as Life style Management ..
Here a medical doctor would also go through more emphasis on Health rather than disease , more on diet rather than conditions and drugs and crazy injections .
So seems like the time is soon to be good again .Let us see…

I am not really comfortable with doctors doing this. I don’t think it will be easy to break out of the systems and training. I would rather they stick to what they know and let a new kind of provider step in to advise on health.
