Opis

"Healthcare for All: Old Remedies and The New Dispensation" takes an in-depth look at the highest prioritisation of individual self-responsibility, specifically in matters of health, in view of the recent shift from curative to pro-active approaches. "Individual health attentiveness" is introduced as a novel approach to personal health, drawing from natural laws that govern why we feel sick or become diseased. By accepting the individual's role as the primary caregiver to self, the concept of caring is revisited; the role of doctors and nurses in public settings are set against the role of the patient, and the need for a redefinition of medical care is highlighted. The heavy loads of health-related responsibilities are metaphorically captured as a stone; the effects of this incapacitating weight is discussed with penetrating clarity. While despondency and frustration may be prevalent in most situations where seekers of healthcare feel trapped, the author steers toward an enlightening engagement that brings an altogether refreshing logic behind the many demands for changes across healthcare landscapes. A reminder is cast on the old remedies that stood the test of time - and how these will continue to bring us improved health if allowed full scope of practice - provided they are not discarded for the sake of technological development that may or may not prove more effective in matters of basic health and caring. Finally, an argument is offered for the allowance of natural laws to take precedence over man-made laws - not only for ourselves, but also for the many generations in need of more effective healthcare solutions.
