RE: 🌿 B・R・A・N・D: Informed Consent In Healthcare
Thanks for putting this to attention for caretaker and careseeker as well.
As you say, we in a treatment team are always encoutering possible situations, how harsh it is so say...and people need to be aware of that.... but they also need to know the boundaries of the doctors that we cant 'just' do everything because we think you need it
you catch my drift..greetings from a scurbnurse
Thanks for your perspective @karinxxl.
I do believe that patients’ expectations of medical/healthcare practitioners can be too high.
Although I would also say that the mainstream medical profession as a whole has brought this upon themselves, by setting up themselves as gods and having all the answers, and ridiculing any alternatives.
Of course, anyone trained in the science of human physiology and health will know that’s impossible - but that is now what people expect. So unfortunately a lot of criticism gets thrown at doctors when a patient’s expectations of being ‘instantly cured’ aren’t met.
This is a trend I see developing in the alternative medicine system also, as these professions turn to using the principles of sales and marketing to promote their services.
