Why Your Healthcare Never Works Out the Way You Plan?

Well, a few things in life can be planned. A few things cannot. If only healthcare could be planned the way we plan our holidays! Despite all the advancements we have made in medical technology and the tall claims of our knowledge of the human mind and body, we are still a long way away from understanding healthcare in all its depth and complexity.

This makes predictability about healthcare very erratic and inaccurate. We are still unable to say exactly what causes the most basic or the most complex conditions and diseases, ranging from a simple common cold to maybe cancer. Our understanding of the human body and the application of medical science has led us to pointers at best.

Does this mean that all that we have done till now is completely useless, and that we should return to the cave ages when everything was all chance and fluke? Not really. Medical science is a very active science that is growing by the day. Take DNA for instance. Who would have imagined that we can now use the DNA as the criterion for customizing treatments? The day is not far off when medical scientists will say at the time of conceiving just what kind of diseases and conditions the child will get during its lifetime!
