RE: Medical Education for Public
I see the same problem in Australia. Patients need to take the time to understand their conditions, and doctors need to provide resources or even explain things themselves. I think a lot of the problem comes from the fact that both doctors and patients want a quick fix and it's too easy to do the minimum!
Indeed it was. It's difficult for both of the patient and the doctor. It was more difficult for a doctor if the patient trusted internet more than the doctor. It's a headache but the issue need to be address and fix. It's good to read some stuff on the internet but clinically it might not be the same. That's why, medical education is ineffective if they are being given pamphlet or any reading material only. There should be a doctor or any qualified educators which should explain some of the things that might be considered special cases based on medical literature and any updated research.
Agreed, let's hope we see a change over the next decade or so
