It can be observed that there is a massive improvement in the medicine field. A variety of prescriptions and surgeries have been carried out through this development, along with some alternative medicines and treatments. Therefore, there is an increase in people prefering other helps instead of their usual doctors. I would argue that this is a negative development due to many people’s inability to distinguish whether it is a proper treatment.
There are many frauds appearing to run buisnesses for abnormal treatments. They didn’t have a proper medical license, but they often use some difficult and proffessional words to fool people into buying their medical products or treatment. People without a higher education or medical background tend to believe in those alternative medical treatments. Due to their naive thoughts and lack of knowledges, they couldn’t distinguish whether it is a safe methods to try on, which can be quite dangerous for those people to being exposed to those alternative medical methods.
When the ordinary treatments don’t work moderately, it is considered positive to try on different methods such as chinese medicines. For instance, many parents are concerned about their children’s height, especially when there is no significant change during teenage period. Therefore, they often buy chinese medicines that are beneficial to growing height for their kids. Statistics actually demonstrated that trying chinese medicines are sometimes better than the ordinary treatments.
In conclusion, I acknowledge the need and usefulness from certain types of alternative treatments. Nevertheless, it can’t be neglect that there are also some cruel people that try to make money from fooling people into buying unsafe medical products. Therefore, I would argue that this is not a positive development since there are many people who couldn’t tell whether it is safe to those methods.
