SOCIAL: THE PROBLEM WITH CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE

I think an issue we have in the pharmaceutical industry is the fact of the matter that conventional medicine finds ways to push medicine for a mass amount of people. They disregard treatments that are individualized opting to make money off of patenting technology that is effective on the largest amount of people. If we are to progress medicine, we as the industry should streamline individualized pharmaceuticals. We need to start treating every case as unique yet common. What I mean is that rather than treating someone with medicine that is tailored to the masses, why not treat according to an individuals unique body. This is the issue that we in contemporary medicine need to address. This is also, unfortunately and currently the less profitable way to approach medicine. But, this sort of medicine can be sustainable and profitable. We just need to streamline our services to be able to provide such services. Why not have medical buildings with all the necessities so that we can do such individualized treatments. The way our medical industry is currently fragmented is the reason why the people are not receiving the best care possible. With technology such as CRISPR available, this is a possibility. Lets safeguard our communities before other countries do. For if we do, we stand to make the most profit and therefore it’s a win win for the people and for business.
