MOTHER WITH A SICK CHILD NEED HELP
Does this strike a chord?
What does she do? call the surgery in the morning but told you will need to be called back that afternoon. Should she Call 111, 999 or rush to the local A&E, walk-in center, primary care center, ask a chemist or a friendly nurse living next door?
When your child or you are ill, you often think of doctors and rush to the local hospital or demand an emergency appointment in the surgery. The culture of dependency on doctors has undermined the confidence of patients and escalated demand that no country in the world can afford to provide comprehensive healthcare service.
Forty percent of adults are said to access Internet for information about health and illness. There are few advantages but more disadvantage because the tendency of an ill patient is to read small prints and get more anxious.
Common diseases are common and rare diseases rarely happen, as doctors we often manage minor illness with uncertainty and using common sense.
In the past decade, presenting symptoms like runny nose, snuffles, or rhinitis have been diagnosed as common cold, cough as "chest infection" and abused antibiotics. Patients with history of chronic cough were labeled as wheezy bronchitis or bronchitis, viral infections or flu. Similarly, a sore throat was labeled "tonsillitis", ear pain as "ear infection" and very high fever as serious infection.
79% of doctors in USA are said to perform tests to boost their income and are refusing to treat uninsured patients. More than seventy percent of the cost to provide healthcare service is spent on doctors and investigations and so is now unsustainable.
NHS in UK introduced Nurse led walk-in-centers, Out of Hours Service, NHS Direct, Primary care centers and Emergency minor surgical units to reduce demand in hospitals but failed to reduce waiting time. Hundreds of doctors are refusing to offer out of hours work and patients have to wait for three weeks to consult a doctor
