What is Health Expectancy? Why does one get ill? Disease is an accident! What is Disease?

 We might think of a disease as like a species-- something that exists in nature and is waiting to be discovered  In fact disease is a medical and social construct--and as such a very slippery concept  The BMJ conducted a survey on the web to identify "non-diseases"and found almost 200  To have your condition labelled as a disease may bring considerable benefit--both material (financial) and emotional Is it more complicated? Social Epidemiology Health and disease. Medical Consultation? Doctor-Patient relationship. Like mother and her child. Where are the limits of medicine: are we turning the whole world into patients?

 What is medicalisation?  Medicalisation of birth, death, and sexuality  Screening: a major medicalisaing force?  What is normal? What is a disease?  Creating “diseases”: disease mongering  Why does medicalisation matter?  What are the forces driving medicalisation?  How should we respond? Medcalisation

(is pushing the patients into a bottomless pit of anxiety, suffering and hopelessness.) Dr. Levine

 “Pharmaceutical companies, by enlisting the aid of influential academic physicians, have gained control of the practice of medicine in the United States. They now set the standards of practice by hiring investigators to perform studies which establish the efficacy of their products or impugn those of their competitors.” Throwing light on the scientific fraud! Evidence Based Medicine?

 A socio-historical perspective shows us that medicine has no more and no less fraud, heresy, schism, and relative knowledge than any other equivalent forms of knowledge…

 (Kenneth Jones. Edinburgh University 2003.) Doctors have lost the woods in counting the trees. Who is a normal person?

 Within two standard deviations of the mean (5% abnormal on every test)  A level that carries no extra risk (we all have high cholesterol compared with Pacific islanders)  Every one that goes for bone scan has osteopaenia!  Beyond a point at which treatment does more good than harm (depends on effectiveness of treatment)  Politically or culturally aspired to (homosexuality) BMJ of 18th June 2002, researchers claim clinical trials are reported with misleading statistics. Uffe Ravanskov

 .  | BP | 4S | WOCO  ______-  Relative risk reduction % | -20 | -29 | -21  Absolute risk reduction % | -0.8 | -3.3 | -0.9  Survival chance without drugs % | 96 | 88.5 | 90.6  Survival chance with drugs % | 96.8 | 91.8 | 91.4 “Lead kindly light-lead thou me on” John Henry Newman 1833. Cancer Screening?

 1000 women have to be screened for 35 years to prevent one death  One nurse performing 200 tests a year would prevent one death in 38 years  During this time she or he would care for over 152 women with abnormal results  79 women would be referred for investigation, and over 53 would have abnormal biopsy results  During this time one woman would die of cervical cancer despite being screened Conventional cancer treatment is like jumping off this cliff, like this fall! Why medicalisation is bad?

 People are treated when they are “normal”  Non-medical, perhaps traditional, ways of managing difficulties are devalued and even destroyed  We see ourselves as victims and perhaps fail to take action ourselves Doctors need enlightenment in the dark night of therapeutic delusions. Pill pushing for non diseases

 “Research into illnesses has progressed so much that it is almost impossible to find some one who is completely normal.”

 Aldous Huxley 1894-1963. Science of Modern Medicine

Reductionistic-based on linear mathematics. Statistical science! ?Future Science! Future Medical care system Science without sense-statistics. Why is medicalisation bad?

 All effective treatments have side effects!  Political and social problems demand political and social solutions but may be treated medically.  An increasing proportion of a country’s wealth is spent on health care.  Doctors are oppressed by being under pressure to “solve” problems they cannot solve. % of GDP on Medical care Per capita expenditure on medical care Bottom Line Medicine

 Algora Publishers. Over treatment.

 “Nothing is more fatal to health than an over care of it.”

The business called medicine

 “The business of  health care delivery  in the US  has the same potential  for graft and corruption  as casino gambling and construction rackets!”

 Lisa Van Dusen. CMAJ 1997; 157: 1724. What to do for the future?

 Encourage debate and understanding of medicalisation  Help people understand that diseases are medically and socially created  Help people understand the severe limitations and risks of medicine  Move away from using corporate funded information on medical conditions/ diseases What to do?

 Generate independent accessible materials on conditions and diseases Promote non-medical ways of responding to problems  Spread knowledge--for example, through the internet  Encourage self care What to do?

 Create more organisations like the “Natural childbirth trust”  Resist direct to consume advertising  Resist the constant growth in health budgets ParadoxTimes Our of 我 们 这 个 时 Paradox of Our Times 代 的 尴 我们这个时代的尴尬 尬

我们的专家越来越多，问题却也 日渐增加；药物越吃越多，健康 却每况愈下。

76 We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.

我们能够往返于地球与月球之间 却不乐于穿过马路向新邻居问好 。

77 Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.

不要把对家人和朋友的爱深藏心 中，大胆地告诉他们。对于能给 你的生命增添快乐的事情，不要 押后拖延。

78 Million thanks for being so patient.
