Medical Education is one component of system "treatment"

Is medical education an ideal remedy to cure our health care systems?
It’s like with every chronic disease that shows a complex set of symptoms — you need combination therapy! Successful medical education is just one component of treatment. Ignoring preventive medicine and neglecting the impact of patient adherence to treatment outcomes and quality of life has caused a lot of gaping wounds. If the ‘remedy’ of medical education is administered to farsighted and keen players, and is fostered by competitive pressure and social responsibility, the prospects are good to stop the bleeding. So to avoid future pain due to unfair rationing of resources, it would be better for all of us to take the proposed remedy.
