Knowledge as primary prevention: before being a doctor, doctors must also be teachers

Abstract

We can act in two ways to offer a good physical and
mental health status to humanity: to prevent and to
cure. In both cases, firstly we have to study the
problem and the strategy that aims to its resolution.
Secondly, if we hold a good solution to the problem
in order to obtain the best possible result we must
teach other doctors and people this possible solution
to the studied problem. In case of primary
prevention the first people to whom we must
explain all these things are the people who live in the
world which must be able to consciously choose
whether or not to live in a healthy way possibly
without compromising the choices and the health of
other people. All these situations require great
teaching skills by physicians. What we discussed so
far is what should always happen in theory.
