The U.S. health care
system is in need of massive overhaul. Having seen and experienced
it up close due, I can state, there are many problems that need to
be resolved and areas where it can be improved. Previously, the
Judiciary Report suggested the idea of a medical database listing
all the prescriptions issued in America to assist doctors in
preventing addicts from doctor shopping to obtain large quantities
of pharmaceutical drugs to get high.
In the July 21, 2009 article
Celebrity Prescriptions,
the Judiciary Report called for a comprehensive drug computer system
to prevent the abuse of prescription meds. 4-months later on
November 29, 2009, the New York Times wrote of scientists echoing
the same sentiments, in calling for a drug database (Scientists
Call For Drug Database ).
After experiences with the medical system this year,
the Judiciary Report is of the belief, the U.S. government needs to
start a comprehensive, password protected medical record database
for all patients in America. Conditions
can be cross-referenced all over the country, aiding doctors and
scientists in effectively treating patients. Outbreaks can be
tracked, monitored and addressed to save lives.
In attempting to
see a neurologist and orthopedist in reference to nerve damage to
one of my legs (that can't be seen externally) and a repairable back
injury, I was given referrals to different physicians (in short, I
need surgery).
The doctors I was
referred to did not have my medical records and it caused a mess of
wasted time and money. If there was one comprehensive medical
records database, it would save millions of people in America time
and money and cut health care costs. It's also a sensible, practical
medical management solution.
