How doctors help
Treatment is what you do to something or how you handle it.
Medical treatment addresses illness or injury: The treatment for his condition involved surgery.
Treatment of a subject is how it's covered: The book's treatment of the Civil War was superficial.
Treatment of people is how you behave toward them: She complained about her treatment by the staff.
In film, a treatment is a detailed outline of a screenplay before the full script is written.
