Our healthcare system is interested in quick fixes and and modern drugs/medicines gives patients instant relief from the pain and trauma .
Healthcare and food industry capitalizes on our evolutionary psychological instincts like seeking instant pleasure our delayed gratification, avoiding pain and struggle, conserving energy instead of putting in effort, our impulse to survive by predicting and protecting ourselves at any cost etc.,
Modern healthcare system with its advanced technology and medicines does wonderful job when it comes to treating acute health conditions a like pain, trauma, illness due to microbial infections, performing operations for rectifying or removing something, transplanting organs etc., We have an amazing system to take care of us when we are broken already. It can fix what is already broken in a persons body.
Mainstream healthcare is not interested in long answers and detailed analysis of background of a person, our hospitals are over burdened by overload of patients, unfortunately most doctors are stressed out themselves and have little time to spend time with patient, our healthcare system is not designed for long term wellbeing, our healthcare system takes curative approach and not preventative in nature, most of the medical treatments and drugs address the symptoms and do not target the root cause of the real issue.
