Medicine and loss of language

The linguistic function is atrophying because doctors are guided only by clinical examination we practice.

What is our communicative function, that with which we can say and understand what we say?

I believe, and I state here for you to tell me if I'm very wrong, our communicative function exists because we are social animals, very vulnerable, to the point that we can not live alone, isolated, as proposed in this fantastic fiction titled Robinson Crusoe , written by Daniel Defoe, published in 1719.

In many articles say that our only mission (1) is to conserve the species, that is all we have to do is take care as individuals and reproduce so we survive the death of someone we have gestated (son).

The language then it is an essential tool to communicate with other human beings with whom we form groups to protect each other and can thus fulfill our unique mission.

While we have a fit body to develop the skills to communicate with others using the language, this development may be sufficient, insufficient and even possibly stunted by a factor now I'll tell you.

In most communities often thought that medicine is all we need to fulfill our unique mission to preserve us as individuals and as a species.

Many of our communities have a medicalized culture, starting with the U.S. and followed by all who believe that culture is a role model.

Those who believe that our only mission (keep us as individuals and as a species), is in the hands of medicine, then we can let our communicative function because doctors atrophy hardly hear and what little I do not believe it listen only guide by clinical examination we practice.
