Pharmacist's Prescription for Doctors

Pharmacist's Prescription for Doctors


TOI today had a great article on how , the pharmist cannot read what the doctor writes, and at times totally opposite drugs are given to the patient, which are deadly for the poor chaps.


Seems, there are very similar sounding drugs, which have opposite effect. As per the papers , the drugs with similar names are

L CIT - L COT
KARDIA - KARDIN
JUCAN - JUGAN
IKA - IKKA

and so on and so forth.


A Hyderabad pregnant lady was prescribed Microgest 200 mg (used for Fetus growth). So illegible was the writing, in the prescription that the pahrmist gave Misoprotol (used for abortion). Sadly the woman aborted the baby, due to this mistake.

So now the pharmists are telling the government to tell the doctors to write the prescription in C A P I T A L letters and seperate words, so that anyone can read it. The joke goes, that the reason why doctors write so badly, so tha the patient cant read, but the pharmist can understand, what the doctor means, which means, i have screwed the patient, now it is your turn to screw him !!!


Where the doctors earn, they write legible, like the tests they prescribe, CT Scan, Etc.

For a few months i had an eye problem, my eye used to get red, and i had to keep rubbing it, the right eye, and it was painful. My eye doc was out of the country, so a friend suggested another chap. This doc, after examining me, said, get this test done, maybe u have TB of the eye . TB of the eye ? He said go ask yr family doctor, and then u can come to me to the hospital where i work also for the test.

Well my family doctor fell off his chair. He said, Kamal, this guy is nuts. Do u know what is TB? He asked me, do u cough a lot, does blood come out in the spit, have u lost weight, appetitite etc. i said no doc, he said dont waste yr money on this test.

But as i said, better safe than sorry, took the test, result came after 3 days, Negative, and it cost me 2000 bucks and 3 days of tension.

When my Eye doc came and i showed it to him, he laughed and cursed this new doc, he said u should have waited for me. Well he diagnoised it as DRY EYES, whcih means that i sit in front of the computer too long, so i dont blink less, and hence my eyes go dry. He said to move away from the computer 5 minutes eveyr hour, so the eyes get some rest. And he gave me some mild drops, and within a few days my eye was normal.


And my wife complained to this eye doc , that kamal uses cheap chinese reading glasses, for 150 bucks, please tell him to buy the expensive frames and lenses, he can well afford it.the doc laughed and said, chinese specs are fine, even i used them, good to use and throw, nothing happens to the eyes, they are storng enough.


No wonder most doctors have the letter head which has the medical shop close by, who has printed it, and it is on that the doc writes, indirectly suggesting u go buy medicines from there. i t may also mean, that only that shop u will get these medicines, and also that only he can read what i write.

HAHA.

LALIT MODI , VASUNDRA, SUSHMA SCAMS.

The way the skeletons of politicians are tumbling out, itis incredible.

What i find strange is, these things happened since many years, how come they are coming out now ? Is the dirty department at play.
Now the Shiv Sena Bhujbal scam is coming out, which shows he has a 100 crore one piece farmhouse.

So when things are convienient, these things come out in the open. Why so ? Lalit Modi every one knew at least in Jaipur, that he was CM Vasundra Raje's right hand man when she was the CM from 2003 to 2008, till they fell out over something. i would hear a lot of things when i go out for walks, but i dont follow politics, or any party, so it was all hearsay, but now i realize i had heard all this.

So how come Arnab Goswami, claims as though these are new things, and the shocked expression he has on his show every night. They have access to news and power, and their newspapers are so powerful the know a lot. these things could have been expiosed years earlier, why now, is the question.

Now may i present a suggestion to catch the corrupt politicians and businessmen, with a very simple plan ? Here it is.

Every powerful and corrupt person has many enemies, otherwise he is a nobody that has no enemy.These kind of powerful people have keeps, brokers to whom they did not give the brokerage for the land bought, but who know that this benami land belongs to X minister. Have a web site, where anyone who has a grudge or knowledge of the wrong doing of anyone, can just post his compalitn wioth proof or no proof, and he does not have to give his own name.

Let the government then investigate the complaints and give their findings on the web site. All will be caught, but then who will bell the cat. All parties have corrupt ministers.

i have heard all these things about Modi, how close he was to Raje, these things dont hide. But then who is mad to complain against these powerful people. I mind my own business, but others dont mind theirs, and so all sort of things are spoken of, but they are confirmed years later when internal rivaleries break out , as things are happening now.


This should be in the public domain, where anyone can see what is being posted.The complaintant no one knows.

LADIES DRINKIGN AND DRIVING


Another lady , drunk , caught driving her car by the cops.She stayed in Worli, close to my mom's home, no we dont know her, nor want to. Shivani Bali, was caught by the cops at Bandra. When told to stop, she sped away, then went and stopped by herself, and locked herself in her car for 2 hours, pulling the windows up, and smoking in the closed car.

High drama on Mumbai road: Woman locks herself inside car after being stopped for drunk driving test - ABP Live



Well there was smoke in the car, and the AC was on, windows were closed.FEaring for her life, the cops broker open her car window, rescued her, and took her alcholol test, and the babe was drunk to the gills.

Well she was fined 2000 and let off. The fine is a joke really.

Shivani is 42 years old, the other lady caught last week, she was 45. Something for shrinks to think about, what makes these forties, ladies, to drink and smoke so much, putting the men of their age group to shame ?

Does equality to men in terms of jobs and education, also entitle u to drink and smoke and drive like this ? If a drunk man, had killed a lady by accident, the ladies groups like Medha patkar, and Roy madam, would have come to the streets, but when one of their kind does all thsi, i have not heard a word from the concerned ladies.So two sets of standards, one for men, and one for ladies ?

Let there be more drunk ladies and accidents due to that eh !

Amen !!!!!

"Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered.

Getting back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother.

The first said: "I built a big house for our mother.


"The second said: "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver.


"The third said: "I've got you both beat.


You know how Mom enjoys the Bible and you know she can't see very well.


I sent her a brown parrot that can recite the entire Bible.
It took twenty monks in a monastery 12 years to teach him.

I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years but it was worth it.


Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it.

"Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks.


She wrote to the first son: "Milton, the house you built is too big. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.

"She wrote to the second son: "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home all the time, so I never used the Mercedes... and the driver is SO rude.


"She wrote to the third son: "Dearest Melvin,

you were the only son to have the good sense to know what your mother likes...





The chicken was delicious.

Cellphone Etiquette 

After a tiring day, a young lady settled down in her local train seat and closed her eyes.

As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her, pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice

"Hi Sweetheart, its Vinod, I'm on the Train"
"Yes, I know it's Six thirty and not four thirty, but I had A Long Meeting"
"No, honey, I was not with the blonde from the Accounts Office, I was with the Boss attending the meet"
"No Sweetheart,
You're the only one in My life"
"Yes, I'm sure, Cross my heart".

Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly. When the Young Woman sitting next to him had enough, she leaned over and said into the phone,
"Vinod darling, hang up the phone and come back to bed."

Now, Vinod is in hospital and doesn't use his cell phone in Public Any Longer.

Dear Prema,
Welcome to my blogs. Yes at least everyone should be able to read what the doctors prescribe. i try and ask my doc all possible details, of what this medicine is for, when should i discontinue etc, he gets fed up with my questions.HAHA

Dear Sabita,

Next time i will edit to a third of the size, yes i write too much,what to do?
Yes i used to also, but these days i have my GP, charges 100, close by, and a good friend, so i dont take chances with pharmists, one kidney is weak also, so i stick to the doc, and pay him, i dont scrounge here.

The surprising part of drinking and driving is about the ladies being caught, that is strange, and drinking so much, that it surpruises me,

Yep we do have women, who are as good, even better than men in all aspects oflife, be it work, and now even in drinking.

HAHA

Regards

kamal
