#053 - 20 MCQ on pathophysiology - anatomy - applied therapeutics - pharmacology

We may not need an indepth knowledge of the structure and functioning of the different systems and sub-systems in a motor cycle or car while driving them at supersonic speed. But at the same time, we should know where to tighten a screw or loosen a screw or replace some wornout thing, if we are stranded on a road, with no mechanic nearby.

Samething applies to use of personal computers and laptops. We may not often know anything about hardware, operating system or the software. Same is the case with mobile phones.

At least a hundred centuries might have passed without most humans not knowing what their bodies are made of, or how the systems and subsystems in their bodies function or malfunction.

Should we know them now? The answer, is yes, in both ways i.e. positively and negatively.
. Critical Approach: In order to escape the commercialised hospitalisation system. The diagnostic procedures which cause larger suffering to a patient, than the disease itself, which led to the hospitalisation. In spite of the benevolent healthcare State subsidizations in different countries, patients have to shell down large amounts on ancillary medical expenses, apart from the basic hospitalisation charges. Knowledge of systems and subsystems of the human body helps us to know at least where and in what direction we are sailing in the tumultuous existence of our lives.

2. Positive approach: An enlightened patient can co-operate with the physicians and surgeons better than an ignorant fool who has money and suffering from arrogance and self-importance.
