Is medicine which can cure in just one day considered good?

This evening, my brother and I talked about how doctors can be wrong and yet be praised and admired by his patients.

There was this doctor who gave medicine so that his patients always get miraculous recoveries. And patients of his would declare,"That doctor is really good. His medicine would get you well in a day."

Imagine that! Just in a day, this doctor could get rid of the sickness. It certainly sounds better than the doctor who took a week or two to cure a sick person. But I just could not stomach the idea that decent and good doctors are considered bad when the doctor with such miraculous cures is considered good.

As a result of being born with a weak and sickly body,I have always had an interest in nutrients, body immunity, the various types of sickness and medicine in general. Through knowledge gained, I understand that when antibiotics are taken to overcome bacteria, the full full course has to be taken to ensure that all bacteria are completely destroyed so that none is left to evolve into stronger bacteria. So, the guy who thinks he is cured after one day's antibiotics could have thrown away the remainder and not complete the course. In time to come, a stronger bacteria may attack his body. Then, the body would need even stronger medicine for a cure.

Besides that, if too strong a dose is given to a patient, knowledge tells me that our own immune system might not be given the chance to work and strengthen itself. That would not be assisting the body to develop even better immunity. Of course, immunity can also be strengthen through a healthy body provided with the right nutrients.

However, doctors who prescribe medicine that is too strong are strongly supported by his patients. I have even heard one to claim,"That doctor is good as he dares to use such a strong dosage." Well, if anyone were to say that it is good to have a really strong dose to cure his sickness, why not resort to steroids. But what happens when sickness returns with even stronger bacteria, will there be anything stronger than steroids to fight it?

Well, that is what I understand of steroids and medicine. I hope those who are sick would finish all the antibiotics provided by their doctors. And do not take steroids unless ordered by their physicians. Those who take excessive steroids can develop Cushing Syndrome, even though Cushing Syndrome caused by the taking of steroids can be treated by stopping the use of steroids and treating the various symptoms it brings.

Well, always consult a good qualified doctor.
