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?
The twentieth century is an era where everybody can go to their devices and find any information that they need.
This
is something positive for some topics, but it is bringing some negative points. Linking Words
Such
as, sick people feeling free to start taking medications by themselves without consulting with an expert. I think that Linking Words
this
action brings multiple disadvantages to society. I will explain, why I think Linking Words
this
way in the following paragraph.
First of all, the population that starts feeling sick decides to go to any pharmacy and auto-medicate themselves without having more information about Linking Words
this
product. Probably, they start feeling better, but what they don't know is that some drugs can cause side effects. Linking Words
For example
, taking NSAIDs for a long time starts damaging the kidneys. Linking Words
Hence
, people are causing secondary diseases in themselves.

Secondly
, communities that already have health issues are taking pills that are not working Linking Words
as well as
they would like to. Linking Words
Therefore
, they are researching on Google what could help with their condition and changing their doctor's treatment. Linking Words
Thus
, they do not value the importance of those professionals. Doctors take years to achieve their careers, but now, technology is getting over them which is not fair for doctors. They are made to do an exam and depending on their findings, they would prescribe a specific type of medication that would help with any condition.
In conclusion, people are doing badly by getting drugs without asking a professional because even the medicine that helps with some diseases could lead to getting other ones. Linking Words
Additionally
, Linking Words
this
society is not respecting the role of a doctor. Linking Words
Therefore
, it is a negative development.Linking Words
