Holistic Doctors? Why Old-Fashioned Doctors are Best?

Have you been longing to find that one holistic doctor that actually listens to you? One that reminds you of shows like “Little House on the Prairie” or even “Doctor Quinn Medicine Women“, for the ones who aren’t old enough to remember?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the doctors of the early 21st century just don’t seem to listen to what the patients are telling them. All they seem to go by anymore are the scientific facts in front of them. If not, they go by the facts concluded from family history. To clarify, what they assume is the correct family medical history for you. It’s not really their fault though. It’s simply How Doctors Think.

What are Holistic Doctors?

As a child growing up in the early 80s. (Yes, you read that right I said the early 1980s.), until about the time I turned 12 or 13, I went to a holistic doctor who reminded me of the one in “Little House on the Prairie“. He listened to what his patients were saying. Sadly, most of the ‘Old-fashioned Country Doctors’ have either retired or passed away. So we must fire Doctors who treat us like statistics and hire those who treat us like humans.

I have something to say to the doctors who treat their patients like numbers in their statistics. ‘Not everyone can fit into the nice neat numbers that science presents you with. Everyone is different and you need to treat them accordingly.’ The best doctors help you identify Medication Side Effects and How to Avoid Them.

Holistic Doctor Solution

Maybe the medical schools should start teaching the new doctors how to treat the human and not the number. I don’t know about you, but I want to know ‘What Ever Happened to the Old Fashioned Country Doctor?’ You know the ones that treated the human, because that was what they learned to do.

Hopefully, by making some changes to how the doctors treat the patients instead of the symptoms and telling the insurance companies to butt out of doctoring, the U.S. can change from the worst in health care to equal other countries.  I know this is a stretch in wishful thinking but a girl can dream.  Am I the only person who wants a holistic doctor to treat them as a person.

Let me know in the comments below, would we be better off as humans if the doctors of the 21st century still had the 19th century doctor’s way of thinking?
