DISPARITIES IN CONTEMPORARY HOSPITALS AND THE PAST CENTURY 2
Disparities in Contemporary Hospitals and the Past Century
There are key disparities that are evident in the modern medical health care that
were mere illusions in the past century. In spite of hospitals retaining the functional
framework over the years, a drift in the scientific and technological plane has enhanced
medical methodologies that could not have been deployed in the past century. As such,
the new advancements have charted a new ground that has made it possible to mitigate
ailments in a better vantage point and improved states of safety. The fundamental
disparities amid hospitals in the modern era and the past century entail advanced surgical
methodologies, the safer deployment of anaesthesia and secure childbirth processes.
The use of anaesthesia has undergone a complete metamorphosis in the past 100
years. Weller (2016) contends that the past century exclusively relied on ether and nitrous
oxide in surgical operations. Weller (2016) reports that in 1906 patients were undergoing
intricate operations that threw caution to the wind in terms of having strategies in place to
shield them from harmful x-rays exposure. Weller (2016) adds that medical operations in
the past century lacked the attributes of sturdiness and robustness. As such, lack of
comprehensive awareness on anesthesia led to the adoption of surgical procedures that
imposed trauma to the patients. Weller (2016) argues at a vantage point that sterile
surgical conditions have advanced in the modern era.
Advancement in medical imaging has catapulted the modern day vast and rapid
surgical operations. Hospitals have now adopted advanced and safe human anatomy
screening methodologies. Brenner (2010) outlines a monumental drift in the medical
imaging processing timeline in the past century and juxtaposes these to the modern era.
