Modern Healthcare Healing Lives

We started with savage human beings with raw meat as the major supply in the form of food. But times have changed. Today food is not the same as it was ages ago. Today even in the remotest streets of the world there a huge variety that one can find. Not just food, but our lifestyle and technology too have changed. The world we live in is full of marvels and awe raising inventions. But with it, the surroundings and environment has evolved a lot. Today we may have eradicated the threats to human life but we have created some slow but deadly killers to live amongst us and our health is the most vulnerable to these killers.

Today we have vaccines for diseases ranging from less harmful to extremely fatal when considered their impacts on average human’s health. Today surgeries have become far more modernized than they were before with modern and advanced equipment's  in fact in complicated surgeries where human hand is unreliable, robots are used. Medical science has evolved to such extent that one can have access to various types of medicines.

As far as technology is concerned, there is not much harm but modern medicines in long term can be harmful. These medicines cure a disease faster than ancient medical practices, but they have their equal share of side effects. It is true that due to modern lifestyle creation of new viruses and bacteria have taken place which were earlier not found but that has definitely affected our very life and world. Some medicines have been known to make immune system so vulnerable that one acquires allergies towards those substances that they have been exposed to since childhood with no harm. Evolution in medical field is a miracle in its own way but this evolution does have some loop holes.
