More DescriptionThe Chaos in Medicine(tm) Series is a self-published, debut double-volume release by Nathaniel William Wilson, an internationally published medical researcher, believed to be the first author to publicly challenge the professional title of "Doctor" (Dr.) as awarded to medical doctors after six years of undergraduate studies. The main event in Volume 1 ("Obama's Blindness and The Missing Link in Healthcare") describes the author's experiences as a medical research officer involved with clandestine research observations of medical personnel in healthcare settings amidst the author's daily duties as a medical educationalist. President Barack Obama's experience in making healthcare more affordable to poorer people is set off against what powerful politicians do not publicly acknowledge as healthcare's most pressing problems. A chief hypothesis was developed, and succinctly captures the idea that, due to the consequent change of social-professional status in both social and professional environments of medical doctors, both the state of medical services delivery and general standards of care have depleted owing mainly to the fact that many medical professionals do not contribute significantly to the field of medicine, contributions that would warrant the noble change of title they receive. The issues surrounding title-based medical dominance in healthcare settings is held responsible for bringing orthodox medicine to its lowest point in human history, in other words, the title-based superiority of medical doctors is argued to be directly responsible for most of the healthcare industry's failure to curb the rises in chronic diseases, as well as making healthcare almost entirely unaffordable to the majority of the world's population. In addition to addressing the issue of the second opinions market, the author consequently calls for an overhaul of current medical qualifications frameworks and manner of accreditation, and also discusses these matters at length. The seemingly inconspicuous effects of orthodox medicine's most elusive side-effect are exposed, and the cult-like behavior of medical personnel in healthcare settings are questioned, drawing attention to the huge body of political support that the medical profession has yielded from governments while cementing its dominance in the occupational world. By means of revisiting conceptions of occupational dominance rooted in socio-religious beliefs and traditions, ideas about professionalism is shared to place a more effective locus of control within the hands of a more conscientious public. Finally, the first volume of two in the series paves the way toward increased effectiveness in healthcare settings by giving lucid, transparent research-based impetus for future discussions as we enter the New Dispensation of Healthcare.
