It is evident that
instead
 of going to see a
doctor
, more and more
people
 are trying alternative
medicines
 and
treatments
 when they have
health
 problems. In my point of view, I think it will be a negative development than a positive development. On the one hand, trying new
medicines
 and
treatments
 is convenient and flexible.
For example
, when
people
 get the flu in Viet Nam,
instead
 of going to the hospital, they could drink orange juice which provides vitamin C
,
Remove the comma
apply
show examples
 and eat soup.
Therefore
,
people
 still be cured without visiting a
doctor
.
However
, trying new
medicines
 or
treatments
 will be dangerous for
health
 or even
people
's lives too. Most
people
 do not understand their disease and the ingredient of the
medicines
 they going to use. In fact, some
treatments
 only work for some
people
 but not for everyone. Cause using
this
 can bring side effects if users do not understand
such
 as being allergic to some ingredients of
medicines
, or becoming ill,...
On the other hand
,
people
 going to see doctors will save money and time for them. The
doctor
 will give the patient the correct
medicines
 and
treatments
 based on their
health
. Only doctors can understand the ingredients of
medicines
 and show patients more detail.
Hence
, the patient will soon be healthy and not have side effects. In conclusion, we can not deny trying new
medicines
 and
treatments
 more convenient and flexible but
also
 dangerous for
health
 and
people
's lives.
While
 visiting a
doctor
 more safely and helping patients become better.
