Traditional medicine prides itself on diagnosing as soon as a sick person makes the mistake of visiting a doctor. No one has ever questioned the sensibility of diagnosis and there is little research in the harmful effects of and the additional illness with resultant suffering brought about by the diagnostic tools. It is high time that the patients revolt against the torture inflicted upon the sick in the name of diagnostic tests.
X-Rays are known to cause cancer after repeated exposure of a patient. Patients collapsing during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or CT scan are common incidents but who gains and reaps rich rewards for inflicting these tortures on a suffering soul. That is the beauty of traditional system of medicine. Irrespective of what they do to a patient they are assured of a rich dividend. In case of any surgery there is always a disclaimer signed by the patient or his family that the surgeon shall have no liability in the event that patient dies.
Thus the system is designed to give the doctors a license to kill and rob the patients first in the name of diagnosis and then treatment. There is no accountability or independent audit for the medical fraternity. A society which imposes stiff penalties for a fraud of one hundred dollars does not even blink when a doctor charges thousands of dollars and patient fails to survive the surgery. No one even wants to admit that the death of a patient could have been due to an error, however unintentional by the surgeon.
Diagnosis may be important and of course a patient approaching a doctor wants to survive and live but the system has to have a built in cross check to punish the careless.
In the next post we shall discuss how redundant most diagnoses are.
