The first step in this assessment is noticing the fact that the natural environment is ailing, and the doctors are falling short of their ancient responsibility. Calista Hunter, an internist in Lafayette, California, says “Our focus has always been on taking care of the immediate patient in front of us,” In this case, the drift is from preventive care to the administration of treatment and we cannot overrule that clinical medicine is better than prevention. Many physicians, in this case, tend to the patient depending on what they are suffering from there and then. In such a scenario, we risk reinfection of the particular ailment if the patient occupies the same spot where the causal infection previously occurred. Here the environment that the patient came from was not healthy, and trough the administration of treatment, an amicable solution has not been reached as the risk is still pending. The doctors and the physicians are overwhelmed by the level of responsibility within the working environment as the number of patients attended too are many, yet they are few. The resort to clinical intervention is this, and it has negativity impacted in the discharging of duties to each person.
Economic development and the population have a continued effect on environmental degradation. As the human population increases, the general also wants increases, bringing about the intensification of economic activities within the environment. Escalation of industrialization, agriculture, and increased energy required have the highest severity in terms of health-related diseases and problems. The problems vary between countries as those in the developing ones have adverse issues in terms of infrastructure. The deplorable infrastructure in such countries has increased the risks of water-borne diseases as access to clean drinking water is a problem. Additionally, most slum areas in the urban setting of the developing countries record high rate of cholera outbreaks as sanitation remains a challenge as this setting are often populous.
