Symptoms not roots

In the hospital the other day, there was a recurring theme from the various doctors and nurses seen.

We’re gonna treat the symptoms rather than find the root of the problem.

I don’t blame them for this approach.

I imagine it’s the system that robs them of the time necessary for investigating issues and getting to the bottom of them.

That’s what I like about my physio, he’s like the Sherlock Holmes of physios, it’s fun just to watch him work.
