UThat isn’t a solution. If you knew treatment guidelines you would know, feel free to pick up a medicine book and read the guidelines there. Painkiller is a layman term, the drug has multiple functions, and its for the other functions the drug gets prescribed at times. My brother got pantoprazole for pneumonia. Makes no sense, did not make sense to me either back then, but turns out the antibiotics he got increases acidity, thus Pantop.
Antibiotics similarly are prescribed for a longer duration for both effective killing and to prevent drug resistance. Just because you feel better with 2 days of antibiotic doesn’t mean the doctor is looting you by asking you to take it for 7 days. If people understood how serious this drug resistance problem is going to be, antibiotics would start getting tightly controlled the same way we do with narcotics. They already tightly control it in developed nations due to this.Also, the problem you described isn’t even one among the multitudes of major problems that we face in healthcare, if this is the breadth of your healthcare problem then respectfully don’t complaint anymore.
UPimping poor people? Its just like what I said, you guys expect it for free.You have an issue with pharmaceuticals you can take it up with them, we have as much to do with them as with the engineers who design the machines we use.
As for the “shit pharmaceuticals”, hard to make good quality drugs when public isn’t willing to pay for it. Quality has a price that south east asians do not want to pay for. We have good drugs as well that cost a lot more. They do not get prescribed because its expensive and then the patient won’t be compliant with medication.
What is your solution to it? Ask doctors to pay from their own peanuts paycheck?
UMedstudent here. Indians don’t like to spend on healthcare, and we have a free loading mentality. So we expect healthcare for free in the first place, even paying 300 for a consultation feels expensive to them. Its a bad mentality and ofcourse the public pays for it in the long run.
Now paying a lawyer? We are finding loopholes in law that were badly created in the first place, to personally benefit us, if I can spend 2 lacs to save 15, I would.Why not do the same for health? Because we do not care about health in this nation, and its very visible.
Smart nations either use a good functional insurance system (Middle East) or they invest good in their healthcare system itself (Europe, Australia). Benefits everyone.
