Found this wonderful website a few days back. I cant judge the people who wrote the articles, but its a wonderful forum having articles including various topics like insurance malpractice, misdiagnosis, and other such hazards of side effects of medicines.
I dont believe that allopathic medicine is the best, but i dont believe its the worst. And its definitely not "unnatural" . Some of the medicines are derivatives of plants and herbs, the only difference is that its produced synthetically now.
All medical preparations, herbs or non-herbs , have their own sets of effects and side-effects. Its true that these ancient herbs have been included in magical cure theory since the ancient ages, but more research is needed to prove if they are totally harmless.
About cases of misdiagnosis, the profession of medicine is more or less a guessing profession. You cant actually tear down the body and make an exact diagnosis, nor does your body scream at you what is happening inside, we can only look forward to certain analysis, diagnosis, and biochemical markers to eliminate and make differential diagnosis. Ofcourse its unethical to make a misdiagnosis, and it causes lots of hurt and uneccessary expenditure to the patient and his/her family, but once a while doctors do make mistakes, we are but humans. I dont mean to justify our mistakes, but that doesnt meant you stop trusting doctors at all.
I have come across the best doctors, the worst, and the quacks. I know how it feels to be cheated or to be given a banned drug or a drug that has the most severe side effects. And i am trying my best to learn from all these awful experiences and try to be a better Doctor.
