Very well written Gaurav. These concerns are experienced everywhere. In fact here when I have taken my kids for wellness checks sometimes the doctor is so engrossed in the laptop and collection of data points ( typing away while we discuss an issue) that he/ she forgets to even say a " hi" to a toddler and make the kid comfortable in the first place. Nowadays the engineering piece of science ( solving a problem- diagnosis) has taken more prominence than the art of providing care.
Thank you for your comments Natarajan...And I am glad you called the aspect of providing care as an art and not science. It is a clear case of mistaking the trees for the forest and widely rampant around the world...and the reason for me writing the newsletter. Keep reading and sending in your comments.
So eloquently written! Gaurav has tugged at a very relevant and prevalent issue - I am sure almost all the readers will identify with what's written here! The narrative is powerful enough to stay with you even days after you have finished reading! A very good read!
Excellent article. The author hits on many points which expose the true nature of current medical industry. What was once a noble profession of helping people regain their health has turned into a business where patient is merely seen as a customer.
