PART 2:
YOUR OWN MEDICINE How too much self –help can be bad for your
health
1. One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take
medicine, observed William Osler, one of the giants of 19 th-century medicine. It is
a lesson that I, as a pill-popping member of the public, have learned the hard way.
Several years ago, I was given a prescription for an acne medication which
worked wonders for my complexion – so much so that when the prescription ran
out. I kept refilling it, thanks to a friendly neighbourhood pharmacist.
2. I pride myself on being a fully empowered health-care consumer, being well-
informed (keeping up with medical developments is, after all, my job), with a
doctorate in immunology, and with enough money and determination to take
treatment of minor complaints into my own hands. In this case, I was also
extremely foolish.
3. After a few months on the medication, I started to experience dizzy spells. I
dismissed them as overwork, and continued to take the pills. About a year later,
those spells became a curse. I awoke one morning to find the world spinning
around me. For a week, I lay in a darkened room with my eyes tightly shut. Every
time I open them. I would start to vomit. Doctors have a word for this living hell –
auditory nerve damage. Thankfully, I recovered, but not without losing my
balance for several weeks and becoming permanently deaf in one ear. There is no
proof that my illness was caused by do-it-yourself doctoring. But once I stopped
taking the pills the dizziness and other side effects ceased.
4. An experience like that would give anyone a healthy appreciation of the limits to
self-help. But these days, people are being encouraged – indeed, expected – to
take personal control of their own bodies. This is sound advice when it comes to
staying healthy: sticking to a sensible diet, taking regular exercise, and refraining
from smoking. But I wonder about the wisdom of such an approach when it comes
to making people better as opposed to merely keeping them well. On the road to
recovery, who should be in the driver’s seat – doctor or patient?
5. Certainly there are powerful forcers-social, political and legal and well as
economic-that are jostling doctors out of taking full charge of their patient’s
health. For one thing, professional paternalism is no longer fashionable in western
society. Today, your banker, lawyer and above all. Your physician is supposed to
be an advisor, not an unquestioned authority who single-mindedly determines the
course of action necessary. Malpractice litigation, especially in America, has
pushed the medical profession into shifting much of the responsibility for taking
decisions on to the patients themselves. For another thing, easy access to medical
information on the Internet and elsewhere is giving patients an illusion of expert
knowledge with which to challenge – and, increasingly, dictate – their doctor’s
decisions.
6. Pharmaceutical companies have been quick to take advantage of this trend. When
a blitz of television commercials encourages viewers to ‘ask your doctor’ about
the latest wonder drug, chances are your doctor will prescribe it for you. As one
American expert on medical ethics has noted, in many branches of medicine the
doctor has become simply a waiter, and the patient a customer ordering from a
menu of treatments.
7. Meanwhile as governments and employers struggle to pay for expensive new
medicines, they are trying to move more of the cost of treatment, and therefore
more of the responsibility, on to patients. Drug makers have also caught on to this
economics trend, switching many of their products from being available only on
prescription-where doctors and insurance firms control access-to becoming
available as over-the-counter remedies that consumers choose and pay for
themselves.
8. The drive to turn patients into self-reliant health-care consumers needs to be
watched carefully-for the simple reason that shopping for medical treatment will
never be the same as shopping for a flat-screen TV. There is a fundamental
inequality in the doctor-patient relationship that no amount of education and
empowerment can resolve. You wouldn’t try to buy a new car with a complicated
lease agreement when feeling like death. Likewise, a sick patient visiting a
healthy care-giver, will inevitably be entering into a one-sided relationship.
9. This is not to say that public education in health matters should be discouraged.
Nor does it mean that people should be dissuaded from doing all that they can to
look after themselves. As the history of AIDS has shown, informed patients can
be a powerful force for change when it comes to improving medical practices. But
this needs to be part of a partnership between doctors and patients, not a substitute
for it.
