Over the course of time‚ I believe doctors have changed to a linear way of practice. In other words‚ they decided on a diagnose‚ prescribe medications then move on to next person. The patient interaction is minimal‚ not enough to make a change in a person’s health. In the past‚ hospitals‚ clinics‚ and other healthcare facilities did not exist.
