Contrasting Personalized Approach in Alternative Medicine and Depersonalization in Modern Medicine
The personalized approach in alternative medicine focuses on treating individuals by understanding their specific needs and circumstances, unlike depersonalized modern medicine which often treat patients as carriers of illnesses. While modern medicine may lack personalization due to limited resources and the need for efficiency, alternative health practitioners and private practitioners tend to dedicate more time and consideration to individual patients. However, this personalized approach in alternative medicine often comes at a cost, as private healthcare can offer indulgent treatment for a higher price. Criticisms of modern medicine include over-prescription of medications and the influence of pharmaceutical companies. Alternative medicine, despite its appearance of being more personalized, also operates as a multi-billion dollar industry with corporations producing supplements. Nonetheless, alternative practitioners are often perceived as spending more time discussing and addressing individual concerns of the patients.
