The lures of modern medicine

Abstract EN

The profession of medicine is first and foremost a moral enterprise.

Yet, modern day medicine has suffered from a number of flaws that led to some of its downfalls.

This article looks at the profession of medicine from a contemporary lens.

What has gone wrong? What does it mainly suffer from? What is the central issue that should be dealt with in order to help the profession of medicine regain its status as an ideal and moral endeavour.

While I do not allege that one article is enough to unveil all that is needed to say, this article at least sheds the light on some of the important issues that we cannot afford to brush aside any longer.
