RE: Medicalization of Pregnancy: Modern Medicine As A Form Of Social Control

in #steemstem7 years ago

Not only does medicalization impact modern pregnancy, it seems like the use of prescription drugs for infants and children is normal now because adults also use prescription drugs a lot more than they really should be. I see the impact of the industry from the perspective of a former scientist watching med students working jobs in companies doing clinical trials to pay for their medical degree, and this can be a very vicious circle that shapes how doctors view their relationship with pharmaceutical companies (not to mention their patients). I hope there can be more studies and research in this area to help come up with some solutions. Your article is very enlightening of the situation from a different perspective!
