This is what I learned today- Nov. 11th

Today, I read an article titled "Poor Pain Control for Cancer Patients".  From this article, I learned there are a lot of stubborn people in this world, but also very wise ones at the same time. People who were diagnosed with cancer were able to step away from that fact and accept themselves, but at the same time the pain would get to them, to the point it'd bring them down. One third of the patients felt they needed more painkillers to help with there pain. A month after the patients saw their oncologists, the researchers again asked the patients about their pain. Instead of showing improvements, the percentage of patients who continued to be in pain remained unchanged. It was amazing how much the mind and researchers thought the pills were working, when in reality what they thought was a "cure" really wasn't anything but a pill to get swallowed or a needle to be injected with and the mind believeing it helped. It amazes me how low the health field is getting, especially when you're giving a product out to patients and believeing its helping them when really it's doing nothing but keeping them in the same pain as they've been sitting through. We pay doctors to help people and there level of lazyness needs to end. Many doctors may simply hesitate to take on the heavy responsibility of monitoring a patient and it almost seems they do or give a patient whatever the main product is without really looking at there symptoms.
