Medical student sees hope in alternative treatments
This story was exciting to me when I first read it. The jist: a medical student becomes frustrated with the health care system and the politics of medicine before even graduating. Finally -- a story about a to-be doctor who doesn't just follow along with the "fix it" mentality and worries about preventing so many health issues using preventive maintenance and natural methods, not solely prescription drugs and such.
In the world's richest country, we have arguably one of the most troubled health care systems available for both doctors and patients. What about limited time with patients, fears about insurance and practicing defensive medicine? Are there room for alternative treatments as well? This goes far beyond cynicism and more into reality.
