The Medical Dilema

Every now and then we here the same breath of dissatisfaction from the public at large with regards to government hospitals care. The only problem is that the intensity and frequencies seem to be increasing as time passes by. The public should realise that at the government hospitals are understaffed and the health care providers are overworked and over stretched. this situation is made worst by the overflow of patients to a particular hospital in hope of getting the best treatment. as a result waiting time increases and doctor patient contact time reduces. this phenomenon does not only occur in your country but is endemic in many countries. where the authority tries to intervene with health insurance and limited visits, a new outbreak of problems manifests in different form. with more then 10 years in the industry this blog is created to address the issue of limited doctor patient contact time. We are totally aware that a new diagnosis is alarming for a patient no matter how small and how curable the disease is. it is unimaginable what trauma a patient has to go through once diagnosed with a devastating disease such as cancer. it is therefore unwise to break the news to  patient and explain regarding the treatment within a narrow space of doctor patient contact time. In here we post in common term the diagnosis, the nature of the disease, the possible outcome if no treatment if obtained , the treatment options and its complication and finally the follow up and the durations. as the contact time is limited we believe in 21st century the aid of cyber world is the way forward. we hope to channel our patient to read in depth regarding their disease and decide on treatment options once fully understood. as a final note a therapy is as good as the doctors knowledge and a patients compliance. to comply one needs to know, to know one needs to read. in here we provide the platform towards better understanding of ones disease.
