Some people today prefer to get advice for medical problems and do not want to visit a doctor. Why is this? Is this a positive or a negative development?

In recent years , a large number of
people
have a tendency to get advice for medical issues
instead
of going to see the doctor. In
this
essay, I will discuss both advantages and disadvantages that
this
trend can bring and give my own opinion as well. There are some reasons for
people
to seek help from others
instead
of going to the hospital.
To begin
with, it is not worth coming to the hospital for
such
minor
symptoms
as a mild
felver

fever
, cough or light sore throat because
people
have to pay a very high consultation charge for the hospital .
Hence
, when
people
have those minor
diseases
, they prefer asking for some suggestions or solutions from a relative or friend because there is a common belief that those
symptoms
are very common and easy to be cured.
Secondly
, if the patient can treat their light
illness
at
home
, they will give a hand to minimize the overloading at the hospital.
For example
, if a large number of patients with both minor and serious
diseases
go to
hospital

at the same time, it is very hard for hospital staff to take care of them all.
Thus
, if those
people
who have minor
diseases
can cure their
illness
at
home
, the serious cases will have more chances to be treated in better condition.
However
,
this
tendency can
also
bring some undeniable disadvantages.
First
and foremost,
people
who have

may receive misdiagnosis from others because many
diseases
have the same syndromes.
Therefore
,
people
should go to
hospital

to consult doctors who specialize to treat many
symptoms
and
people
will be given much valuable advice
instead
of staying at
home
and asking for

help from unspecialized
people
.
Furthermore
, if many
people
can cure their
illness
at
home
easily, they will have an intention of not going to the hospital sooner or later even when they get serious
symptoms
. That must be very serious because treating
illness
at
home
will badly affect not only the patient's health but
also
the whole hospital system which can
also
lead to the eventual degradation of many hospitals if many
people
are still staying at
home
and curing the
illness
themselves. In short , there are some reasons why
people
in general or patients

choose to get advice from others.
However
,
this
trend will have a very negative impact on both patients and the community.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
