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?

Along with
the information spread on the internet, nowadays there is a trend that
people
with health problems are trying alternative ways
instead
of going to the hospital.
This
is not a positive development in most
cases
. It's widely accepted that when
people
get sick, they should go for professional
treatments
.
Firstly
, only
doctors
could provide appropriate advice for different diseases. To be specific,
doctors
have learnt and got trained for different
cases
.
Also
, they need to work as intern
doctors
for quite a long time, and after ,that they are certified as formal
doctors
.
Secondly
,
doctors
could diagnose with the help of equipment in hospitals.
For example
, when my father felt uncomfortable
last
week, I took him to the hospital. The doctor suggests taking a CT of his lung since there're some common
cases
after Covid-19.
Doctors
checked the result and gave more accurate suggestions for my father, which helped my father get better after several days. Admittedly, sometimes
people
may don't have enough medical resources. In these
cases
, they may turn to alternative medicines and
treatments
. But it should be very careful.
In other words
,
people
should make sure the medicines are produced and distributed safely, and the
treatments
are from professional
doctors
.
Furthermore
, it's better to consult someone from the government or regulation department. In conclusion, there's more beneficial for
people
to turn to
doctors
for professional advice. Only when there's no way to get me enough medical help,
people
can try others ways for medicines and
treatments
.
