Doctors – Life-Savers or Savings Destroyers…???

By -


Doctor as a profession requires no introduction as they lie everywhere on this planet and are having their presence in both the genders working towards the same goal of saving someone’s life and providing that person a ray of hope. Being a doctor can be a matter of pride for anyone. We should not just call this activity as a mere profession rather should call it a 'Gift of God'. 
 
In the past, many incidents related to health hazards have occurred where doctors had played a very crucial role in controlling things. The latest incident that I remember is EBOLA VIRUS. The incident has taken the world by storm and has taken up the lives of many, but the way doctors have taken care of this virus was exceptional. These doctors get honored with the prestigious award of Time’s Person of the Year. 

Proud moment…!!!   Isn’t it…???

The medical science has evolved into manifolds in the past decade or so and inventions are kept on happening in this domain. A patient’s life can be saved in multiple numbers of ways nowadays.

But, there is a concern of mine in this aspect. I am not going to hesitate while stating this that some of the doctors have turned this proud profession into the activity of extreme profiteering and looting. The check-up fee is reaching newer heights every day, giving a strong competition to the current rise in petrol prices. Private practice is increasing day by day from government doctors. They have arranged their multiple sources of incomes in this profession in the form of commission and part in profits. They take a commission from local medicine shops (percentage of profit or per bill amount) and used to refer the patients to those medicine shops only. They get commissions for various tests that they want the patient to go for the treatment from different path labs and laboratories. They make the patients go for the irrelevant test that is not at all required, and some of these health check-up tests are very expensive in nature and cannot be afforded by a normal income patient. They also create a monopoly in terms of the medicines they prescribe to the patient. The medicines that are very difficult to trace in the market and hence only available to the same doctor only are majorly recommended. They are having a part of profit in hospital charges, specialists surgeon referring fee, unnecessary observation of patient in ICU and many more.

In the case where a particular health issue is encountered and from the very beginning it is clear that the identification of the exact issue can only be understood through an MRI, the doctor does not just ask for the MRI, he compels the patient to do the blood test, x-ray, CT-Scan, and many more. These tests do not just create an extra burden on the pocket of the patient, but they also increase tension in his mind. Apart from this, they are totally unnecessary. Now think upon it that how a tensed and depressed person is going to get cured easily in this situation as this will only get worse.

We used to celebrate WORLD YOGA DAY all over the world with pride but the main lifesaver, i.e. Doctors does not prescribe to do Yoga Practice to their patients.

I am sharing some of my ideas to deal with the raised issue ---
  • It should be made compulsory for every doctor to prescribe Yoga Practice to each and every patient in order to provide the patients the long-term health benefits.
  • The license of those doctors who do private practice should be canceled after one major warning.
  • Medicines which are easily available should be prescribed and in critical cases where medicines are available in very less number then it should be arranged by the doctor himself for the patient.
  • Audits should be done on a continuous basis the health and medical centers.

The government should take a step forward in order to solve this highly prevalent issue. Strict policies should be formulated in this aspect from high-level authorities of the country. We as an individual should also safeguard our rights.

I hope that I am able to convey my message strongly to you my reader.

SAHIL JAIN --- A So-Called Writer in the Making

The next 1000 words are going to describe the fundamentals of a writer in a nutshell, being written by a person who is trying to become a full-time writer one day, i.e. ' Me '. I am the Commander of these words and King of this real story I am going to end this shit that I have started. The best thing about being a So-Called writer, is that in real life, I have very little to say. After writing 13 articles for my own channel, the channel on which you are reading this one and the other 2 articles written for Ghumakkad TV, I believe that the name by which I am marketing them is worth it… THIS WILL MAKE YOU THINK . After coming into a full-time job of a Sales Manager for an NBFC in New Delhi, India, the essential time between the work and the passion became very hard to combine. Moreover, I don’t really like my job and I’m saying this with the highest level of confidence that I do not belong there. Sometimes I even feel that I’m wasting my time over there....

A Porn in a Day, Keeps the Doctor Away...!!!

It is hidden from no one that porn is banned in many of the countries and India also recently joined the prestigious list. Most of us consider watching pornographic content or sexual content as a matter of shame and disgrace. It is ugly. And yes, we do not wish to divvy up this thing openly. Truly speaking, I personally know around 10-15 persons who are addicted to watching pornography and masturbation, and they also will be reading this one for sure. Researches have shown that getting exposed to it continuously can create major issues with the mind . Thinking skills, memorizing skills, etc. gets hampers, and many more negatives are there for sure. Some are aware, some aren’t. Some in the aware category still watch the content continuously as it acts as a stress buster for them (15 Minutes – Din ka Sukh….!!!!). We all love to spend time on the internet. Pornography is the most searched content over the internet. Studies have also shown that a husband used to access...

Guests and Relatives --- Fucked-Up Souls…!!!

By -

You must have heard about a very renowned statement --- “Atithi Devo Bhav” --- Guest is Like a God so treat him like a God . And there is no denying that this practice is being followed blindly and whole-heartedly all around the world, but in India, it is practiced with more intensity, higher interest, high caliber, and a much higher passion. Welcome to Incredible India, the country where a guest is treated like a God. Of course , we are the ones who have set the benchmarks in this field. We love guests… Isn’t it…??? They bring fun and gossips to our 1 & 2 BHKs. If I talk particularly about my family, there you will find that we also are following the crowd and we love to do so. Except Me…!!! I all together go opposite to the flow, and I’m very much sure about this that there are plenty of head counts who are having the same perspective as mine after reading this one further. This one is especially for them, for safeguarding their interest as I have take...

    “Learning can be done in an infinite number of ways” --- I’m pretty much sure that you are going to agree with me on this assertion. Each and every phase of our life, every action teaches us something. So, on that very basis, today I’m sharing my learning from the Indian-Crime-Dramatic-Suspense-Thriller show - ‘SACRED GAMES – Season 1’ . The show has already become a very huge hit among the global audience. The way it is portrayed on the small screen of Netflix, the way characters have played their role is brilliant. They all have justified their skills and task of entertaining us to the fullest. The show is based on the novel of the same name published in 2006 by Vikram Chandra. The whole season 1 is divided into 8 episodes of approx. 50-55 minutes each. It is directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane and it is produced under the banner of Phantom Films. It all started when Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) receives an anonymous call from t...
