Corrective care vs Patch job

Notice in the following two charts the

difference between the patch job strategy and the

corrective care strategy. In each case, the patient

has undergone treatments over ten weeks, with an

improvement of 3% after each treatment.

In the chart below denoting the patch job

strategy (Next page), the patient goes through a

few treatments periodically and gets better for a

while. With the passage of time, however, he/she

again experiences the original problem because

the decreased efficiency of the tissues eventually

exhausts the organ or tissue, preventing it from

properly healing.
