The constantly evolving world can make it constantly more difficult to live. This is seen when existing, perhaps, simple approaches and areas are becoming more complex, due evolution, interconnection - and lack of changed or more correct approaches. This can be seen on many industries, but mainly within those who could be thought to be non-linear.
Healthcare is one non-linear area. On it, cost cuttings have naturally emerged, also increased queues, long waiting times to treatments which also can endanger the patient. Similarly, there is no real comprehensive examination of patients when the reserved time is 20 minutes, for one symptom, about what patient does not necessarily know of, and therefore is unable to connect the dots to possible other issues.
One could question if the work changing into the “sports” has caused losing the patient.
An example from the life of a newly diagnosed diabetic which I did found out.
- Very blunt approach without taking things into the context, like how this person takes bad news, or does he have any information about matter. Yin is patient, Yang is the sickness with all the secondary symptoms.
- Misdiagnosis, to not look the blood tests as a holistic issue, missing the point about long range sugar.
- Not checking baselines. Diabetic may have other issues that she or he may not be aware of due not knowing being diabetic earlier. Due this reason it is very good to check baseline for sensing on legs, eyesight, Dupuytren's contracture - or at least tell the person that these symptoms are good to follow and try to prevent. Checking those and putting into baseline one can follow if and how the actual sickness may worsen the health of the patient.
Diabetic without proper treatment, can lead to multiple secondary sicknesses and issues, such as things with heart, amputation, eyesight, nervoussystems and so fort and those will become very expensive for the state to handle. Therefore it should be utmost imporance for the state to treat diabetic well, to prevent upcoming costs to happen - which also allows people to stay at work, ensuring tax money for the state. Unfortunately, only short term decisions are typically made.
Is this a sign of our times? No proper healthcare anymore.
