The non-communicable disease paradox

fuckyeahjean-lucgodard:

• “Severe symptoms of poor health are declining, even as chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes are on the increase.”

such bullshit.  here’s how to read this, honestly:  ‘physicians are no longer diagnosing chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, etc. in poor patients because they do not view it as profitable, and they do not want to waste their time searching deeper and more intensively for possible causes in such, generally more difficult cases.’  in other words, doctors have gotten lazy, and it’s become a widely-accepted social institution (esp. in the West).
