On the other hand, modern medicine has cured or improved the lives of so many people, but its practitioners are increasingly regarded with suspicion about their professional capability or their financial or research incentives. Second, although in the past the medical profession had very little to offer in terms of evidence-based cure and alleviation of symptoms, the doctor was highly regarded.

First, the complexity of modern medicine mandates its practitioners to spend more and more time and effort on the practical aspects, leaving little time for personal interaction.

Modern Medicine has made tremendous advances in diagnosis and treatment: in the time span of several decades more has been achieved than in centuries.
