Future Medical Science, Medication or Surgery?

The question of whether medicine or surgery is more important is a challenging one. Both approaches are essential in treating various medical conditions, and the choice of treatment will depend on the specific condition and the individual patient. Danny Thrall is a boy who loves swimming, but sometimes can’t because of his enlarged aorta which is fatal to an athlete. He had a surgery which took a long time for him to heal, but I think meditation would have been better. During and for a long time after surgery, the patient is not allowed to leave the hospital, but by taking medication we don’t have to stay in one place (eg.going to school or work). Medication also has more options on what kind of medicine, and has fewer side effects. Personally, I think medication is better than surgery.


The reason why I think medication is better than surgery is that we don’t have to stay in place for a long time, and also might not be able to cooperate with things that can only be done in one place. Most medication can be done anywhere we want, even if we are not at home. Travel plans won’t be canceled either while taking medication, while surgery can largely affect travel by needing the patient to stay in the hospital for over 2 months. Medication like pills can be eaten with only a little water and with no other people’s help at all, just swallowing the pill. On the other hand, surgery cannot be done alone, needing many professional doctors’ help. Taking medication isn’t as complicated as having a surgery, so it is easier for most people.


Another advantage of medication is that it often has fewer side effects than surgery. While all medications have the potential to cause side effects, these are usually mild and can be managed through dose adjustments or switching to a different medication. Surgery, on the other hand, carries a greater risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, and anesthesia-related problems. Additionally, surgery can often lead to a longer hospital stay and a more painful recovery process. Medication does have a lot less side effects than surgery as we can just switch medications if we ate the wrong one.


Medication also offers a wider range of treatment options than surgery. Depending on the condition being treated, there may be multiple medications available that can be used alone or in combination with other drugs. This allows doctors to tailor treatment plans to each individual patient, taking into account their unique medical history, age, and other factors. Surgery, on the other hand, is often a one-size-fits-all approach that may not be suitable for all patients or all stages of a particular condition. In some cases, medication may even be used as a first-line treatment to avoid the need for surgery altogether. Medication offers a very wide range of treatment choices that are more than surgery.


In conclusion, medication and surgery both play important roles in modern medicine, and the choice of treatment will depend on the specific condition and individual patient. While surgery may be necessary in some cases, medication offers several advantages over surgery. Medication is non-invasive, has fewer side effects, and offers a wider range of treatment options. These advantages make medication a more convenient and safer option for many patients, especially those who are elderly or have underlying health conditions. Although medication may not be suitable for all conditions, it is an important tool in the medical field and should be considered as a viable option when appropriate. Ultimately, the decision between medication and surgery should be made by the patient and their healthcare provider, taking into account the patient's unique needs and medical history.
