Why Integrative Medicine

In practicing emergency medicine over the last decade I have seen patients present to the Emergency Department in a state of very poor health , many patients have been treated and assessed but I noticed vital information about these patients have been overlooked such as their lifestyles , their social stresses , entities about themselves that ultimately make them who they are  and add to their current clinical condition. Suffering a very close personal loss, I have seen how pharmaco-therapeutic medicine alone can sometimes not offer the solution to health and well-being. Every patient is different, every disease is different, to assume that a standardized treatment regime can be applicable to every person is not wise for a physician but ensuring that all aspects of a person’s health addressed becomes paramount in treating the person and not the condition.
