very true Sathya..preventive measures are the most important . In spite of it if we fall sick i do try to find out some vaidhiyam that I can do myself and go the doc only as a last resort.
but i find the young mothers at least here really paranoid ..so many restrictions for the kids..dont go out in the sun rain pool etc etc..where will the child go then?

maybe like compulsory military service imposed by some counties we should have a compulsory one year devoted to community service before getting any degree.. then there would be some change in the village hygiene...a wishful thought,no?

your post reminded me of a joke..like all paatis my paati also used to be an expert in home remedies..so once i jokingly told her you are the first doctor in our house and she joked appadina enakku oru management degree iyum thaayen and then went on to say about the way she worked to bring up the family.really kudos to our mothers and grandmoms.

Dear Satya,

in Jaipur too u have some old timer doctors, there is one Dr.Bhutani, huge line with him, je will charge u like 30/- for his own clinic medicines,like the olden times, and the token u have to take in like No. 300 or so.and so many swear by him.

And then u have these fancy hospitals.My friend went to one, a 5 star one, got his whole body test done, 3500 i think, and they went 4 of them.

Cholestrol was 250 and the doc advised a tablet, i think it was wrong.i had cholestrol of 500, where as it should be in the range of 125 to 175.Doc told me, just take a walk, cut down red meat, no medicine, and come and see me after a month.Dont get scared.

Did that, and it came down to 150 levels, no mdecines.

So i agree with u, that what we need are sensible doctors, or like yr relative, who treat coughs and colds and niggles with some home remedy.

Well said Satya.

Regards

dear kamalji

thank god HE makes
the likes of Dr.Bhutani's too

theres a doctor down south
tamilnadu
where he charges just a Re.1
and gives simple prescriptions
that also include kitchen medicines

and about the cholesterol episode
more stories abound
the good ones and bad ones
like good bhooth and bad ones?
a change in lifestyle
staying close to nature
and save on educated quacks too...!!

This day a comman man goes to a medical shop telling his prolem taking few pills and goes away. In olden days when a doc is on leave or absent at Panchayat hospital, the pharmasist/ compounder will sit in doctors chair and give medicines.
Doctors appointed at that time was only GCIM or Diploma in Medicine and surgery where he can stitch the wounds, dress the wounds, give first aids and prescribe the medicine for fever.

This day the docors charges are Rs50 per patient per consultation and these docs will inject something give a tab for all purposes and charge Rs100.

A poor man can not offer this.

Some docs who has a room prfer patient with Dicentry, loose motion and admit for two hrs for administer drps and charge a room rent of Rs350?+ saline water Charges with 50% increse and other accessaries which will be around Rs400 to Rs500.

So my suggession is that the government should teach the Medical course in local languages, give them scholarships and post them in Panchayath hospitals.

dear vimala

maybe they should teach
in local languages too
we consulted some compounderstoo
who were even more popular
than the doctors

talking about charges
they admit patients
sometimes for simple indigestion
heavy cough cold
put them on bottles and bottles
of saline
the nurse/attendent asks you
are you covered under insurance
(MNCs cover their staff...!!)
and if your answer is yes
then you stay for more than a week...!!!

thanks for stepping in

Dear Sathya
Long time no see!
Honestly, I would trust you a lot more than I would a highly qualified quack!

haha thank you sri....you made me laugh...although i dare say im quite good at kitchen cures.

The city docs buy equipments worth crores of rupees and recover double the cost of those equipments from the patients! Affluent patients love to go there more as a status symbol and when they discuss their ailments with the doctors, the doctors stand to learn more about the ailments from their patients.
you remind me of visu in a tamil movie
when how will be recover the cost
of equipments??

The village doctors with a three year degree are likely to be a lot more respected in the villages than a FRCS in a metro. I have visited health camps organised by Rotary etc with a just passed medical graduate. The respect and the attention he receives in the village camps will be more than some legendary doctor may hope to receive in a city. The villagers don't care about the degrees. More often, it is their own faith in the doctor that cures them.
the medical fraternity do not know they they
get royal treatment at villages
if they are happy with the treatment
and a loved one gets better
the hospital is flooded with pumpkins
fruits, betel leaves coconuts and ofcourse
cash

but the high degree docs
are doing a favour to the
alternate medicine fellows
there are huge ques at their places too
they charge you Rs.3000 to Rs.4000 an hour at kerala
for some authentic kerala massage
they stay a full fortnight
(couple of days not accepted )
and loose a few pounds of flab
straigten a crooked knee
and yes pay a huge price too
only few patients are taken in
and theres a pretty long long que
for appointment

I have statistics to show that highly qualified city doctors kill more patients through their callousness than the devoted quacks of the villages. I read in the papers yesterday that a Doctor in Ahmedabad infused into a boy suffering from some blood disorder, blood infected with AIDS!

this AIDS issue itself it pretty much hyped
like the h1n1 these days
it is more for the kit from abroad
to test it
the money received from abroad you see
is spent just to spread awareness
and wait........they will get the vaccine ready
so that you can buy from them...
ofcourse affluent or not
we TRUST them

its been nice to have you back
giving an fb to my writing...
i thank the docs and quacks
for bringing you in

God, give me this day my daily Lehiyam that'll cure me of all diseases!

nice one sri

and villagers be more alert
and resort to proper eating
and staying fit...

give your paatti a degree ya...

than we do

Dear Sathya,
Glad to see you here after a pass with your unfailing vigour and wit. Milagu kashayam for cold and inji sorasam for indigestion and the famous deepavali legium after having a treat of all the oily savouries and sweets with ghee used to set right the ailments. Now for each and every small discomfort people run to the doctor. Popping the pills bought across the counter also has become the rule of the day.
Jokes apart, the new proposal of 3 year degree course is not a new invention of our government. Like the diploma courses in engineering in the polytecnics, previously we had three year diploma course in medicine and at the end of the course the LMP licensed medical practitioner certificate was issued. Those doctors were also good and some of them had earned name and fame.

It is a good idea if meritorius candidates who are willing to serve at villages are selected from villages.
Love,
PS

dear pushpa

ya ...long time no see...
life goes on...
and perhaps there are
tendrils in the wine swaying...

previously yes there were
LMPs ...some are still around
they also issued certificates
and they were also Dr.
those who practiced alternate medicine
it was there just for the asking
you just have to apply and give
proof of practice and you get a certificate
but now this is not to be...

thank you for stepping in
