Oh for sure ol-🤠 how well I know being in the medical profession for 50 years. The switch from cause based care to pharmaceutical care was IMO, purposeful. New nurses I mentored were not taught comfort measures for instance, only pharmaceutical interventions for things like pain. In my experience it often worked just to reposition a patient, apply a cool or warm pack, give a back rub, elevate the head or foot of the bed, put a pillow under the knees etc, etc. In fact I was taught to always use comfort measures first. Another practice that I noticed was the use of pharmaceutical intervention when a patient was rowdy, anxious, etc instead of trying to get to the cause. Since retiring I have done much research on natural cures and use them myself and recommend them to others, always telling them of course to consult their Healthcare provider. 😉😉
