The medical system plays a vital role in
this
 modern technology. Nowadays, there is a rapid growth in population meanwhile there is
also
 a great increase in
health
 problems. But
people
 are choosing
alternative
methods
 to solve
health
 problems rather than visiting their usual
doctor
. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both scenarios and
then
 I will give my opinion on
this
 matter. On the one side, In
this
 modern era, there is a huge development in medical technology. Advanced medical equipment is being used in hospitals. With
this
 advanced technology,
treatment
 fees
also
 increased. A normal middle-class person cannot afford
this
treatment
 due to its expensive
treatment
. So most
people
 are trying
alternative
methods
 for
treatment
 rather than visiting a
doctor
.
For example
, During the Carona Virus attack, at the beginning of
this
 attack
people
 went to the hospital for
treatment
 but later they started using
alternative
methods
 like using fever tablets, drinking hot water, eating protein food, etc to reduce the virus.
This
 is due to financial problems and
treatment
 is
also
 very expensive. On the other side,
Alternative
methods
 may not give accurate results.
People
 should use
alternative
methods
 based on their
health
 conditions. If their
health
 condition is serious it is better to go to the hospital and visit the
doctor
.
For instance
, If a person is suffering from cancer,
then
 he/she cannot use
alternative
methods
 and risk their life. And another good example is, If a person is suffering from asthma and have a carona virus
then
 he/she should visit a
doctor
otherwise
 breathing problem leads to death. To sum up, I think it is better to go to the hospital and visit a
doctor
 when the
health
 condition is serious. Alternate
treatment
 can be done for small
health
 issues like cold, headache, etc.
