Art of Healing: present and future
Health is very important for people. They try to keep themselves healthy because otherwise they would feel miserable. People watch carefully what they eat and many go to regular check -ups. But still people get ill, even the healthiest people catch a cold sometimes. Nothing can prevent accidents to happen . The people who are ill or some kind of an accident has happened to them need help. Medicine is the science and art of healing. It is a science because it is based on knowledge gained through careful study and experimentation.
Medicine develops very quickly. Nowadays the doctors can do almost anything they want. Egyptian doctors began to specialize in 2500 B.C. At that time they were already quite skilful. When a man lost a limb there was a big possibility that he would lose too much blood and die or get a blood poisoning before that time. Now the doctors can help people who have been in very serious car accidents for example. They can even replace blood with blood substitutes for a short time until they find the right blood type for the patient for the blood transfusion. This can save many lives . There are very many different pills that help with smaller problems like a headache or a bad tooth.
Some people don’t trust doctors very much. They prefer to use alternative medicine with different smaller problems like rheumatism and arthritis. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy that involves inserting needles into the skin at specific points of the body . It is believed that a human body is comprised of two natural forces known as the yin and yang. The people believe that the cause of ailments and diseases is due to imbalance of these forces in the body. The aim of acupuncture is to re-establish the balance by using the needles at certain points of the body. Other known alternative medicines are massage, bathing and aromatherapy.
The medicine continues to develop . We watched a film called “The Island ”. It talked about a big group of people who were really clones of rich and famous people who lived in the real world. The clones thought that the outer world was almost destroyed and that there was only one beautiful island left where only chosen people were sent . When the famous person from the real world got madly hurt his clone was told that he would go to the island. In reality they took the clones organs that were inserted to the hurt celebrity.
My opinion is that this may be possible to do this kind of things in the year of 2018 but I don’t think they really will use anything similar to this method. It was very cruel and I’m sure the humankind would immediately protest against this thing . At the moment it is not allowed to clone people, I think it’s unrealistic that in 15 years ’ time things would really change so much.
Organs from dead people can be donated to people who need them to survive . The problem is that it is hard to find a suitable organ. I think that in the future they find a solution how to fit the organs into the patient’s body or the doctors are able to make reliable artificial organs and those who cannot be helped today can be helped in the future.
I am sure that the future will bring new opportunities to cure diseases that cannot be cured now. I believe and hope that scientist will find some kind of treatment for AIDS for the year 2020. I suppose that if a risky illness will start spreading the scientists will find cure against it quicker and the people will know exactly how to avoid catching a flu that is dangerous and how to react if you have the symptoms of that flu.
I imagine that the people will learn more about the dangerous infections and they will realize that it is important to go to regular check-ups and really keep your surroundings clean and tidy .
