Better health and wellness, a second opinion, and cure

The first wave came and went quickly. It was almost time for another wave. The doctors were exhausted. And the nurses were busy preparing for round two.

It might have been a TV show, but that didn’t make it any less real. It was actually another serious story about medical situations. This one is about a hospital. Sometimes they are about a doctor’s office, and all the nurses and doctors, are the stars. Once again the stories are so heart warming, it’s hard to believe they are make-believe.

Of course we assume they are make-believe. Indeed, maybe that is what really goes on, behind the scenes, in a hospital. However, that is not to say there shouldn’t be a human side to medico. In fact, it’s all about humans to begin with. Or, quite some time ago, it was about humans. Or more precisely, doctors and their patients.

Better Health and Wellness, a second opinion

It was about doctors and their patients. The patient would talk, the doctor would listen, and a plan would be formulated. Furthermore, some tests could be done immediately. For example, the small rubber hammer for checking reflexes.

Somehow the doctor always knew exactly where to tap the body with that little rubber hammer. The result being the surprise reaction of an arm, or leg. Similarly, there would be other tests. Yet, these relied on the condition of the patient. I still remember exactly what the doctor said when I showed up with my second concussion. It was the same thing as with the first one.

In fact, the diagnosis was so spot on the first time, it was a no brainer (pun intended) the second time. In those days we had the same doctor for longer than a year or two. Therefore, the doctors knew their patients fairly well. But not so well that they wouldn’t recommend getting a second opinion, just in case.

Better Health and Wellness and Cure

If the idea of a second opinion from another doctor seems strange, it really isn’t. However, it’s also not cool to have to get a second mortgage just to pay for a second opinion. If the second opinion is even allowed. I suppose the doctor would know. Maybe. One thing is certain, there won’t be much discussion about a cure.

A cure for what ails you. That was one of the biggest reasons for visiting a doctor. Additionally a cure for chronic conditions has always been a welcome dream. With this in mind, it’s difficult to remember the last time I heard of a doctor going after the prize of a cure. Furthermore, it’s possible that a cure, is just, no longer possible.

However, it’s not helpful to focus on the radar device. What’s that? Never heard about the radar device? Now that is interesting. With this in mind, it might be a good idea to start from the beginning. Stay tuned for part two, of Better health and wellness, a second opinion, and cure.
