The American Attitudes its Impact on Global Health Care and Practice of Medicine

Sasidharan PK*

For some curious reasons, what is happening in USA is considered as the best practice by the general public and the doctors in particular in India and several other countries. They and their practices are considered as the model all over the world, be it technology, food habits, medical treatments or lifestyle issues-This trend is especially true in the case of medical practice and patient care issues. In other words it appears that the trendsetter for all our activities in all major areas of human life is now USA. Though there are several positive trends to be copied, the negative trends in USA outnumber the positive ones and in one sentence one can say very confidently that the overall impact on the rest of the world by USA is against sustainable development, against sustainable health care and even sustenance of human life on earth. The way it influences practice of the doctors all over the world is phenomenal and is detrimental. Outwardly they appear to be very much concerned about welfare of the rest of the world and humanity, but deep inside things are different.
