Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
It is true that more and more
people
prefer to try different methods to treat their health problems rather than ask their usual doctors
for help. I think the disadvantages of this
development overweights its advantage, while sometimes it offers a little more convenience to people
.
I understand that those people
who would like to try alternative treatments may benefit from the internet
or other advanced technologies. They usually search for the internet
to check their sickness characteristics instead
of going to visit their doctors
. In this
situation, these patients can get many solutions at an economical cost of money and time. It seems that people
can deal with their health problems more easily.
However
, there are some potential risks in this
situation.They may suffer from the wrong treatment because the information from the internet
may not reliable, especially for some complex diseases. It may lead to a seriously harmful result, from missing the best time to treat to losing their lives. At the same time, they may need to pay necessary fees because of the inappropriate treatment. Compared to trying the alternative methods, it would be more reasonable to see our usual doctors
which are known them well. These doctors
can give more specific suggestions according to our physical problems.
In conclusion, I believe that it would be more responsible for us to visit a usual doctor when we contract the illness, although
it seems easier to use some alternative methods, especially those that come from the internet
, or people
may suffer from a loss.Submitted by 535911488 on
