Commercial diagnosis: you need to know

What is the commercial diagnoses

Commercial diagnosis - is often a false diagnosis, which is set deliberately or unconsciously, and exposes the patient to a long and unwarranted investigation and treatment, accompanied by a large financial costs to pay for these tests and treatments. In people, these diagnoses are called "pumping money". Typically, in the imposition of the commercial diagnosis of bullying are present, creating fear and psychological dependence, human zombie.

Commercial diagnosis - it is not an accident, and regularity in the modern toll and public medicine. Due to the low personnel training of doctors commercial diagnoses came to dominate the post-Soviet health care. Not only do they always inaccurate and / or false, but excessive interference in their diagnosis and "getting rid" of them can cause irreparable harm to human health.




Often such diagnosis is made only for the sake of making a profit, especially in private clinics that cooperate with private laboratories and pharmacies, paying each other "premium" for the ability to "extort from the client to the maximum." Surfing "sick" physicians may be delayed for months and years.

Contact Medicine and commerce there since the time of Hippocrates. Many doctors and medicine men in those days were not only treating patients, but also creating their own "medicine", many of which had no therapeutic effect, and can be harmful, causing poisoning and even death. "Elikisiry youth" - this is the most common types of "drugs" that were manufactured and sold by many doctors

. In every branch of medicine has its own commercial diagnoses, and often, passing through the different specialists, the person receives a "bouquet" of such diagnoses. They exist in every country in the world, but their appearance is often a result of illiteracy of doctors, lack of control of medical practice on the part of the relevant institutions and bodies of the large influence of pharmaceutical companies on the health system.

In some countries, commercial steel whole branch of medicine. For example, in developed countries, most eye doctors moved into the private sector and sells glasses or laser correction of vision, ENT specialists are interested only in the sale of hearing aids, gynecologists prefer to reproductive technologies, most dermatologists working in private rejuvenation clinics and conducting plastic surgery, therapists and family doctors prefer to work in clinics for weight loss, where patients are taught is not a balanced diet and physical exercise, and charged with all sorts of additives, and means "to lose weight", etc.

The peculiarity of the modern post-Soviet commercial diagnoses that they become extremely aggressive intervention for the purpose of inspection and ostensibly for medical treatment. If the American "patient" will sit for years on one or two medications, the residents of the former Soviet republic will pass through the wave of intense examination, the intensive treatment with the use of 10-15 medications, not counting the different procedures and surgeries.

On the one hand, indeed, many diagnoses exist, but their production and / or administration of treatment are accompanied by gross errors. On the other hand, began to exhibit such diagnoses totally, almost every second woman, while the true incidence of many diseases is very low.

Another feature of commercial diagnoses is that they are often imposed together, there are several diagnoses at once, but the mechanism of these diseases (pathophysiology of them) can be so different and opposite that a diagnosis can fully exclude other diagnosis.
< br> According to experts, today, for example, in Moscow, one in five private medical center puts his patients with false diagnoses, then to assign the expensive treatment.

Victims of medical greed often are those who turn to the urologist or gynecologist. Doctors calculation is simple, as a compress: not every publicly stated: "I have found a mistake Chlamydia!". For most of the "mistake" turned a deaf ear, but that "chlamydia" certainly remembered by all. Even knowing that the diagnosis - a false, very few people will start a scandal. And imagine with what feelings associated diagnosis of "infertility"? Often the fear of never give birth overshadows reason, people do not see an obvious fraud.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that according to expert data, 53% of Russians go to the doctor only when they feel very bad. It is therefore quite easy to intimidate a serious diagnosis. Most patients do not have special knowledge of medicine and can not always determine that they were deceived. Psychologists call people who pulled the campaign to the doctor to the last, "irresponsible optimists.

But if they fall for the bait, they can scare terrible disease and get to fork out big. For example, in Ukraine or Russia, "in Lugansk Oncology Center said:" This is not a cancer, but do need an operation. The danger that atypia will develop into a tumor - is ". And cut a healthy thyroid gland »



Favorite area of ​​commercial diagnoses:

1. Children and childhood diseases: intracranial pressure, hypertonicity, attention deficit and other

. 2. Pregnant

3. Sterile

4. Diseases of the genital system of women and men (including "hidden infection»)

5. A number of diseases: osteochondrosis, cancer. While in Belarus with this calmly, but in Ukraine and the Russian disaster.

6. Cosmetic medicine and dermatology

How to avoid staging commercial diagnosis?

1. Have a proven specialist, focused on experience rather than on the loot. If this is not an urgent operation, be sure to get a second opinion from a diagnostician, not financially interested in your care! Information support is no less important than therapeutic.

2. wary if you do not open an alternative or can not give specific figures, and the successful outcome of the results or give a hundred percent promise. Or they say anything at all can not guarantee.

3. If the proposed method of treatment is only in the clinic, but nowhere else. It is a sure sign of divorce. Example: "After a gynecological examination at the medical center paid my mother was told that she needed an operation. Doctors explained that in ordinary hospital free of good technology to such treatment is currently not. Tell me, please: Is it true, "- told us to find out the reader Maria

?. 4. One expert promises you to spend a full cycle: examination, treatment and rehabilitation. This is certainly convenient, but it eliminates the possibility of an alternative opinion.

5. You hurry. Life-threatening conditions are relatively few. If the doctor can not articulate exactly what threatens you, but hurry, cheerleaders!

6. Write down your medical history. A couple of hours spent on the drafting of a clear list of symptoms and records, establishing, when the disease is, how it progressed, causing deteriorated state - and the doctor will be easier to structure your symptoms and prescribe the correct treatment. And you will become less invent symptoms!

7. Collect the papers, checks, photocopies of all possible documents and analyzes the results (you can even take pictures on the phone), record the date and time of consultation. Even your desire to collect paper may deter fraudsters. Before you start treatment at a private clinic, sign a contract for the provision of medical services. Otherwise you can not prove that it is treated in this institution. Since you have to coordinate plans and treatments to get them written consent. Take the time to remove the copy of a medical record and, if the scandal breaks out - it can be rewritten. There are lawyers and the legal and medical education, they will help with the most difficult issues

8. Be honest with your doctor and with you. The attending physician should be sure to know what happened to you during the disease, even if you hate to talk about it.

9. Ask questions. The more you learn about your disease from the professionals - the greater the chance that you can get the doctor to "turn off the autopilot" and with attention to treat your problem. your doctor's reaction to the questions also will tell you whether to deal with it!

10. Leave immediately by your doctor if it is something sells, recommends supplements, suggests a well-defined laboratory sends in a strictly defined pharmacy with the prescription on his letterhead. If two different doctors put two mutually diagnosis - to make an appointment to a third specialist

. 11. Look for "alternate airfield". Do not trust the words of the attending doctor? Find a different specialist, talk with him and ensure loyalty diagnosis. And do not be confused: it's your health, and it is only you really roads

12. It is important to self-education, raising the level of knowledge and the development of analytical thinking, when the information obtained is analyzed, rather than just blindly accepted. It is important to learn to listen to your body, take care of it, not to seek a cure for different diseases and to understand that the key to the prevention of many diseases, as well as getting rid of them is a healthy lifestyle.

13. Do not jump !!! Be careful, but stop just afraid. If you come to the doctor's office and came out of him with both feet, then you still do not "fatality." So, has the time not to run anywhere, and soberly assess the situation. And if somewhere inside moving worm, which does not agree with the "terrible medical opinion," do not press upon him their fears - learn to know your body, explores the theme of his illness, think, analyze and make wise decisions

. 14. Let the doctors do their job. If you have done these punt and chose a doctor, follow its instructions and recommendations, otherwise you can start the disease. Remember, please, that the good doctor is you are by and large do not need it, and so loaded with work. So do not be in front of you "jump on their hind legs", saying that only it will save you or denigrate other doctors.
