In Response to "Procedures Without Asking"

I agree that just because a doctor changes there plan of action while treating a patient does not mean they are taking advantage of them. The body is very complex, and every person’s body can operate and react to things differently. Although we have huge benefits in the medical field and advanced technology, it does not mean that doctors know or can treat everything. Because of this, doctors must set up a plan based on a patients symptoms and problems, but there initial plan may not work causing them to go back to point A. This may happen many times before any progression is experienced, regression may even occur first. It is simply impossible for a doctor to know exactly what is wrong with a patient especially if it is a rare case or dealing with something more complicated then a common cold. Although I believe this to be the case today, do you think this was the same sort of case taking place with the Tuskegee Study? As for why doctors are often attacked for complication is because they are given such high standards, which are nearly impossible to live up to. A doctor’s main purpose should be to heal, but in some cases things may not be curable, and accidents may happen, but because so much is put into a doctors hands, lives, they are immediately the first to be blamed. It is sort of intriguing to think that doctors are the first ones we trust with our loved ones, and ourselves but once something goes wrong they are the first to be blamed, why do you think this is?
