People expects too much of medical science in today's world as there are overly optimistic and high expectations of medical science that undoubtedly results in an over-usage of health care services such over-diagnosis of certain illnesses.
As the advancement of medical science is rapid and vast, it is capable of curing many diseases and thus people are more hopeful, yet at the same time, it is being overused such as over-diagnosis of many patients. It is reported that hypertension is being over-treated in people with mild cases of the disease and more than half of the patients with mild hypertension are treated with blood-pressuring medicines despite an unproven research of such drug has any correlation to cardiovascular-related disease. Many researchers argue that these practices are unnecessary and require a huge amount of funding from the government. Hence, due to the over-expectations of the current medical science, it may result in unnecessary additional diagnosis which may incur a greater opportunity cost on the government budget.
Furthermore, many people with a mild cough or flu will immediately seek medical attention. However, these minor symptoms can be easily cured by home made remedies or seeking medical advice from nearby pharmacists. With more people seeking doctors for a minor illness that could be easily recovered from, it delays the timing for people with more severe symptoms and issues and deters them from seeking medical help as soon as possible. Thus, people are seeing the doctors for illnesses that can be recovered even without the help of doctors, thus it is evident that not only doctors but patients both have high expectations of medical science such that they are making excessive use of it when they can make do without.

My stand is that spoken language is more important than written form when your job requires more of speaking and interactions than to write reports. For example, for salespersons, their main job is to promote the product they are selling. Hence, they are required to speak well and promote to the customers. However, this does not mean that the written form can be entirely neglected. The salesperson may still be required to do certain paper work, which requires writing skills, but their main scope of work is to advertise their product. Hence in this case, the spoken language is more important than the written form.
