Tailor made or Readymade..what would you like?

"Treat a Person, not a symptom or a body part" a wise physician would say! But even in our daily lives, do we really follow the exclusivity of choices, or do we just succumb to the over hyped retail chains of goods that are off the shelves? What would you do when choosing some thing optional, not an essential? Fertility treatment falls in the exclusive domain of optional rather than an essential, unlike say a Cesarean Section or a Bypass surgery. It cannot be and should not be an option one chooses off the shelf. First thing that drives a fertility treatment is the wish of the patient. What they want and how soon is the prime concern here. Then comes the clinical opinion on whether what they wish for is realistic and medically sound for the given situation. Associated is the evaluation of the expectations and concerns of the couple. Hence fertility treatment ideally should be tailor made for the clinical diagnosis, wishes of the patient and cater to them as a special couple,
