There are different ways to treat a given problem. There are two ways to deal with myome’s in the uterus. One is radiation and the other is surgery. Both of those treatments require very different skills. If you let the people who make their money with selling surgery do the diagnosis you get a lot more removed uterus than if you let a person who doesn’t have a stake in whether the treatment is surgery or radiation make the decision.
A few years ago I saw a presentation by a person at a Health 2.0 event which basically made the case that as a result of different organization of doctors in France and Germany and the resulting incentives, the doctors in France do a lot more of the radiation instead surgery and as a result a lot more French woman keep their uterus.
The whole presentation wasn’t public and publically the person holding the presentation was running a website telling woman about myome treatment that didn’t include any section on shaming doctors, because she didn’t want to alinate potential stake-holders in her quest to reduce the number of operations.
Surgery salesmen shouldn’t be the people who do the initial diagnosis and tell the person what treatment to get.
