MEDICINE THE TRUE HERO OR THE TRUE VILLAIN?

MEDICINE THE TRUE HERO OR THE TRUE VILLAIN? The movie industry is one that over the years has entertained us in every ramifications, we’ve most times depended on this industry to kill boredom, spend quality time with family and friends etc and as a result we have even taken most of the actors as our celebrity crush both local and foreign. Every year we see massive improvements in their works and we marvel. From the days of “living in bondage” to these days of lion heart,king of boys and so on. The difference has been very obvious. From video quality to costume. From VHS to DVD now to cinema. What A transition🙌🏼 Sports,especially football has been a major source of joy for all since time immemorial. From world cup to nation’s cup. From league football to champions league football. From super eagles to arsenal, Barcelona,man utd, Chelsea etc.. our weekends have been super packed. From the days of players wearing really short nickers to the quality play pants we have now. From the days of pele and maradona,to zidane and ronaldinho,now Messi and Ronaldo. Football has never failed to put smiles on our faces🙌🏼 The music industry has been a major source of joy and entertainment to us all over the years too. From the days of fela, sunny okosun,sunny ade, to the days of remedies,plantashun boiz, mentain. To when we had the solo careers of 2face, black face and faze,to dbanj and don jazzy,psquare. Up until now that the music has become quite different. The industry has seen a major transition. From the video quality which has really improved to marketing which has since gone across the border. We can’t do without them in our parties, weddings,clubs,on radio,tv etc. Our musicians have been our heroes too🙌🏼 Then comes MEDICINE. Over the years we have seen advancements in a whole lot of aspects, especially in the areas of fertility, transplant, plastic surgeries etc… These advancements have made people interested in medicine, especially as these particular aspects directly affects the average person in one way or another. In that case then we can say our medical experts are our heroes🙌🏼 But somethings are just not adding up right🤔 While other professions and industries are getting to their final destinations, medicine is advancing slowly but because the people are Cheering her on,she feels she is also arriving at her destination. In other words, medicine is focusing on giving the people what they WANT and forgetting that it’s main aim is to give them what they NEED. because the essence of medicine is to provide CURE and PREVENT OUTBREAKS. In that case can we say,that medicine has gone commercial🤔 Mr paulinus is always thinking of conquering madam in the other room; medicine invents something that makes him last LONGER and even increases his SOMETHING. Mr paulinus comes out satisfied because MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Medicine on the other hand has been able to SELL MARKET customer is SATISFIED. DEMAND has met SUPPLY (equilibrium) MEDICINE feels happy that she has fulfilled her ESSENCE. And she goes on to focus on more discoveries that will make mr paulinus and his likes better in the other room, forgetting that her essence is provision CURE and preventing INFECTIONS Caro is a fine girl,but she feels that the reason men are lot looking too much in her direction is because at the BACK she is flat and the FRONT is like that of martin🤭. MEDICINE looks at this situation,decides to come to Caro’s aid. It discovers the use of silicone to increase Caro’s FRONT &BACK. Caro is HAPPY, medicine is HAPPY. it’s a win-win situation. Medicine goes back into the lab for more of such discoveries to satisfy Caro and her likes. Forgetting that her essence is CURE and prevention of OUTBREAK Janet was born a woman,but she would have preferred to be a man o🤔 she runs to medicine for succour, medicine goes to the lab and discovers that it is quite possible for Janet to be transformed into a man . At the end of the day, surgery was successful,Janet is happy,more money for medicine, therefore medicine too is happy. Medicine feels she’s fulfilling her essence thereby forgetting that her essence is CURE and PREVENTION of OUTBREAKS Over the years,we have seen some medical discovers and we have been marvelled that medicine is really advancing. Plastic surgeries,facial transplant,genes transplant etc… And we really were happy that medicine was advancing,but what we didn’t notice was that these advancements were also distracting medicine from her essence. Which is CURE and PREVENTION. As soon as medicine is able to contain a particular outbreak,she drops it and continues on her commercial life. Up until this day, medicine has not provided a cure for AIDS. as soon as they discovered anti retroviral drugs that could suppress the virus,case closed. Till this day cancer has no cure. As soon as they discovered that early detection would prevent the spread,they slowed down. Same goes for so many other diseases that continue to threaten the health of man. And then comes the small matter of covid19 We’ve had so many pandemics ravage the world over the years, some killing as much as 200million people worldwide. As soon as we’re able to contain them and then business resumes as usual, everything goes back to normal. Same thing happened with Ebola,Lassa fever, chicken pox and will also happen with covid19 Today the world is on stand still as we look to medicine to bail us out of this mess, businesses are losing money, people are loosing jobs. As it stands, the NBA might lose up to $500m in tickets, if the season is cancelled. The the EPL will lose over $1billion in television money. The top5 leagues combined will lose over $6billion ,the Olympics committee also has alot to lose because of the virus,. The world is on lockdown while our medical researchers say that a vaccine could take as much as 18 months to come through. As at today,over 200,000 people have died of the covid19 pandemic. Obviously medicine was not prepared for this, obviously medicine was caught napping. more people will die both of hunger and virus and that includes medical workers themselves. So the question is.. “IF MEDICINE HAD STAYED FOCUSED ON HER ESSENCE, WOULD WE BE NEEDING AS MUCH AS 18 MONTHS TO GET A VACCINE FOR COVID19?” “IS MEDICINE THE TRUE HERO IN THIS PICTURE OR THE REAL VILLAIN?” Your guess is as good as mine.🙌🏼
