Toxicology
Tests – Mandatory! By Milton Laene
Araujo
Toxicology
test should be a regular procedure for everyone who visits a doctor. This is
the only way to find out whether patients abuse certain medication, or if they
take the correct amount of the prescribed drug.
It shouldn’t
be confidential. Everyone should have access to everyone’s blood works,
specially doctors and scientists who are doing comparative analysis of
prescribed drugs. It goes against people’s right of privacy, but it is
necessary to have our blood examined every semester and have a complete toxicology
report attached to it, and make it available for others to compare, study,
help, and share information.
The goal
here is transparency! In this life our
objective is to help others. What
difference does it make if your neighbor has access to your blood work and
decides to compare it with his?
In today’s
age where computers do the work, we just need to add data to a bank, and let
the machine decipher its content, comparing and contrasting and giving a complete
report to a researcher.
Only Doctors
would have access to the database of each individual patient, but the complete
data would be accessible to members who work in this area, and those who want
access for determined reason.
It is a step
ahead for Science. If it is implemented, it can change the entire
pharmaceutical industry.
Until today,
year 2015, we have not found a cure for a mild cold that comes and goes every
year. We have no idea which medication
is better, if any.
By having a
HUMAN-HEALTH-BANK-CENTER, we can store medical information of each individual and
facilitate research. We cannot do research only with animals, in other words,
we should not ever do experiment with animals, when we can use our own blood
test and DNA configuration to compare and contrast with anything related to
either, animal or person, and achieve
results.
Today we
create medications for anything we can imagine, yet people are not living to be
100 years old. What is wrong with this?
Toxicology
Test is a procedure that determines what type of known chemicals are present in
the human body, and it is done usually with dead bodies to find out the nature
of the death. Unfortunately, it is done a little too late. If it is done on a
regular basis, a human being and a doctor can discuss what to do to prevent
whatever combination is happening inside the body.
As far as
privacy, who truly cares? As long as your name is not used and your picture is
not exposed for lucrative means without your permission, you are safe.
This is not
to become Mandatory, but it is just common sense. No one needs to create a law
to approve this information because it should not be regulated to begin with. I
always imagined that Doctors had access to all information available, about any
patient and what drugs were prescribed and what side effects it generated in a
global manner. Off course, each doctor’s staff would have access to his
patients only, and those who purchase this type of information would sign a
privacy ordinance of usage for means of research, and check in regularly with
the HHBC.
Check some
sites related to people being killed by overdose. Don’t stop there. See how
many people are killed by poisoning.
“Deaths from drug overdose have been rising steadily over the
past two decades and have become the leading cause of injury death in the
United States.1 Every day in the United States,
114 people die as a result of drug overdose1, and another 6,748 are treated in emergency
departments (ED) for the misuse or abuse of drugs.2 Nearly
9 out of 10 poisoning deaths are caused by drugs.3 (http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/overdose/facts.html)
