This article discusses how some medical professionals that work in the field sometimes dont even pay any attention to the pateint and just send them home with a perscription. It is not so much that they are not paying attention to us, but it dawned on me the first part of the article. The story with the father calling for this lady. Why do WE not consider what may happen if we just call some random place for help or advice on what to take. We never see the actual consequences of our actions. We automatically assume that someone that has a white coat or that works and answers the doctor's phone knows about medicine. Why are so subjectized to that concept that we want the quick and easy way out. This man calling in the beginning did not realize what his wife really had. What would have happend if he did not take her to the hospital. We are under this control that any where we may call that the other person on the other end knows the answer.
