A systemic problem in our health care system

Your old also remember the nurses and sisters in Australia Kenny (1880-1952), Bush will no doubt remember her in her medical institutions and created a stir. Elizabeth Kenny has developed a polio treatment, generally criticized by doctors of the day. In fact, her approach has proved time and again is an effective physical therapy, because we know that today's practice, and become a pilot.

Kenny, my sister and her causes and medicine struggle of the established order, reminds me of licensed doctors are often like a closed shop union members. In such an environment, anyone can do the job, that the ensuing blame and sanctions, a violation of their profession. At the same time, their lobbying laws to protect the they consciously intruder.

Kenny nuns, her years of struggle to get her treatment, even in the face of the observed success, acceptance and appreciation of recommendation from a patient. The medical profession cast slander her, and her people, largely because she is not recognized by doctors (only one nurse), her contrary to generally accepted standards of treatment.

Controversial in today's medical environment, the replacement therapy greatly frown, laugh at their practitioners. Ask them to think that practitioners of acupuncture, chiropractic, aroma, or muscle activation therapy, they are almost always open their nose. In fact, they believe that the insurance industry, these methods are no more than on deception bordering palliatives. Therefore, patients to more expensive surgery and medication, often to provide any relief channels.

This is not to say there is no quack hovering around alternative medicine practices, as qualification approved varieties of quacks. It also does not claim that the alternative methods of disease or illness. But it is also true in most industries, as long as there is one to make a buck, willing to hand too much will be extended to accommodate. We have seen, traditional medicine, especially to handle all trying to desperately sick people to give them all kinds of dying. Very few of these alternative methods.

However, in the areas of pain management is poor, due to various causes, modern medicine has proved to be quite make mistakes. Commitment to provide relief to the days of countless people suffering through the painful and dangerous drugs. The doctor prescribed a lot of unproven drugs, because their medical representatives to tell them, which is on the forefront of pain management drug du jour. Large pharmaceutical and medical professional work hand and glove in order to promote their latest (and expensive) drugs for patients. Because only licensed doctors can relieve them of this pipeline is that both sides use. Why even possible financial incentives for a doctor's prescription. My goodness!

The built-in aversion to check and test alternative therapies, and even more expensive health care system, "recognition" treatment, promote insured patients bear in the direction.

Even back surgery has proven to be less than 50% efficient, lower cost replacement therapy has been proven to be effective, they will be ignored. To make matters worse, only in the case of Kenny sister, they laughed at the establishment. This is the ironic side effects of expensive-for-profit health care system.

As another example of filling the bottom line is that this practice is becoming more common. Doctors are more and more insist on in the office visit just to renew the prescription patients. It is true that some drugs are necessary monitoring side effects (how dangerous some of these signs), but in many cases it is totally unnecessary. As a reduction of the entry into force of the medical insurance (which will increase rather than cut costs), the doctor will find more ways to supplement their income. A professional for a certain level of profitability, regardless of discipline, it is difficult to accept less. Doctors are no exception.

Therefore, the bottom line is that the only possible way in order to improve the cost of replacement therapy research and approved by the health care and the patient's welfare. Sadly, this is not on the table for discussion.
