Diary 179: Treating Disease or People

Have you ever wonder whether the doctors are treating disease or people?

When you have a fever, the doctors are likely to ask more on the symptoms and then prescribe medicines. That usually last at most 10 minutes.

Very rarely the doctors would spend time asking the patient his daily activities and diet which could contribute to the fever.

Time is too precious for them.

The truth is a disease is with a person.

Hence, to treat the disease, there is also a need to treat the patient.

That’s what holistic treatment is all about.
