Prepare for broad generalizations from monkey boy.
The medical industry has made such great advances in most all aspects of treatment and the experience of dealing with the inevitable failings of our mortal coil. For the patients and workers within the systems matrix.
One piece of the matrix that has not gone completely over looked, but sadly far from fully addressed? Diminishing the medical industry stereotype “when your a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” Surgeons want to cut, chiropractors want to crack, …… you get it. So, how is the industry addressing this important additional piece toward superior health, wellness and happiness? An endeavor such as this does not happen quickly and not without great effort and awareness. I imagine that there is a study or two of needless surgery, treatments and mis-diagnosis of patients, from the awesome but narrow skills of the care givers. I also imagine there is some information on the projected costs of such potentially avoidable choices.
There seems to be a great deal of focus and advancement of the “systems” within the medical world for providers and patients. We are asking our care givers, doctors and the medical matrix to work together the very best that they can? It is my hope that there are some teams of super smart and fun people working the best they can to understand and evolve toward greater wellness, the extension of independent living, and the opportunity for a superior quality of life for us all. Through open communication flow between specialties, ego aside and stepping up to the challenge of treating the individual patients issues as true problem statements and puzzles to be solved.
