Iceberg Phenomenon

It’s something like pharmacist giving some drugs to a patient as many as physician’s diagnoses. The diagnoses are based on how many symptoms may appear. In fact, the disease of which the patient suffers from isn’t as simple as the appeared symptoms. Disease occurs not only because of physical defects but also because of psychological defects (sometimes). Sometimes, psychological defects lead to physiological defects. The natural history of disease is actually a complexity. Physician cannot see deeper than what he often diagnoses and gives treatments. In addition, pharmacist can only counsels the patient well as long as the patient are cooperative. The patient himself knows better because he is the one who can feel the abnormality inside his body. So, we often hear news says that despite the patient has come to physician or psychologist, the patient hardly recovers from his disease. Moreover, the professionals have come along with their best treatments ever.

For example, after doing check up to patient’s body through assessing the blood sugar, blood pressure, and so others, physician said that the patient has high blood sugar concentration and low blood pressure, physician will recipe drugs as the diagnoses result. Physician isn’t further responsible for what really triggers the disease, e.g. life pattern or emotional condition. What professionals do services for clients cannot cover all the problems. The problems which are not recognized by them are still great over there. Professionals cannot reach or see it to be fixed all along.

But, why must be Iceberg? Here’s how the image says it all.
