Medical model VS. Wellness Model


Topic: Medical Model vs. Wellness Model
Rationale: Pre-industrial era of medicine was more beneficial to achieving a positive outcome for the sick then the post-industrial era that exists today.
Thesis/Problem statement: Most have an opinion regarding the current health care system, changes, cost and reform. However, often these decisions do not include all of the components that have power to positively change one’s health.

and alleviating the Medical model would in the end create a journey on a path to recovery.
