Question

How has the creation of what Arnold Relman called "the medical-industrial complex" affected the way health care is delivered?

Answer 1

Medical industrial complex is a specific kind of network of corporations which supply health care services as well as other products for a profit. The Medical industrial complex which includes proprietary hospitals as well as the , nursing homes ,diagnostic laboratories, and home care and emergency room services ,hemodialysis and many other kind of services offered. In this medical market physicians must also specifically act as purchasing agent for their own patients and there for no conflict will occur in the financial interests .

According to the Arnold Relman the medical industrial complex might be more efficient than it's specific non profit competition that occur , but it Also creates creates the problems of overuse as well as the fragmentation of services and the over emphasis on technology for this

This organization's are specifically managed  by business staff and not be the local medical practise ,

Another kind of a trend is increased pressure to generate profit for providing services to the individual can lead to a decrease the creativity or innovations in medical research. The public as well as the private sectors of the medical industrial complex have various kind of conflicts of interest .

This wisdom refers to the selection of the specific kind of technology that truly impact on the outcome of the patients lives by early detection of the condition as well as by treatment. Some investigations treatments can be misleading for the diagnosis .Randomised trials of postoperative radiation's in many individuals following a complete resection of lung cancer or a breast cancer shows major improvements but relatively little improvements in rate of survival of the individual.

In most of the cases the physician is the one taking the decision and not the consumers as the consumers are the ones who pay tax as well as fund the public sector and they are not getting the best products. Just because the physician looks into the dust if the product as well as the commission that they acquire they will go for the cheap item and will lead to bad product for the patient .

Even if they have good effect like a coin they have both bad and good side
