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.

JOURNALISM - A Flawed Perspective

By -

Journalism is one of the world’s most respected and reputed profession. It takes a good amount of years to become a decent sort of Journalist. They are a source of information for all of us. If they don’t exist, then I’m pretty sure that the world’s information will be very hard to combine. News channels, Newspapers, Weekly Periodicals, Magazines, etc. are some of the best sources for updating yourself with the daily affairs. Journalists are being blindly trusted all around the universe and it is being assumed that they will project the true picture of the real world. It was being considered as a Non-Economic activity in many of the countries, but in the modern era, the definition of Journalism is getting changed. Irresponsibility is highly prevalent nowadays in this profession. Politeness is missing from the Media. The debate shows are now being conducted not to come to a conclusion, but to showcase immoral and harsh behavior on the national television. Advertisements and

MARKETING - 8th Wonder of the World

Yes, I’m declaring marketing as the 8 th Wonder of the World.  This is a very big claim I’m making as some of the high profile scientists and researchers from diverse fields have already declared the things like compound interest and other monuments as 8th Wonder of the World. I respect their opinions, but according to me the one thing that should be considered to be the 8 th wonder of the world is none other than the term ‘MARKETING’. Don’t worry, I will give a proper justification for my claims. Come, let’s dig into it. Before going further, first, we need to understand that marketing is not just a narrow topic that we read in our textbooks. MBAs, BBAs, Doctorates, etc. studies this topic as a subject, but I believe that this knowledge is very confined, but if you observe your day to day activities, your surroundings as well as other peoples you will find that somewhere or the other you are indulging in some sort of marketing either for yourself or for the other.

THIRD WORLD WAR IS DECLARED...!!!

Yes, you have read it right. The Third World War is declared but this time it is going to be fought in a different manner and on different agendas. This is not going to be a traditional kind of war. You might find yourself fighting on the battlefield against your own loved ones as well. So now the question that arises is that what kind of war is it going to be and what is the reason for it? The reason that I’m going to share is very shocking but you will agree with me. The reason for a third world war will be none other than ‘WATER’.  Water which gives life to everyone is also going to be the reason one day when we human beings are going to kill each other because of lack of water. Water resources are getting depleted day by day. The natural resource which used to be available in abundance decades back has reached its capacity in major parts of the world. Majority of the world’s population nowadays is fulfilling its essential and basic needs of water by purchasing it. Reservoirs

Indian JUGAAD - What every other Nation can learn from it..?

By -
Image
Someone has rightly said that ‘India is a Land of Opportunities’. It has something for everyone. This nation very soon is going to overtake China in terms of the World’s highest populated country, being a runner-up with a population size of around 1.3 billion approx. Indians are everywhere. They are on land, they are in the sea, they are exploring the universe by sitting in a spacecraft and one day they will be on the ‘Future Earth’, i.e. MARS as well. We are very large in numbers and we proudly stand tall at this place against the rest of the world. But this leads to problems as well, which are continually being faced by the citizens of India. The high amount of population is directly proportional to the high demand for available resources. But since we lack equality, some remain with the least amount of resources, and on the other hand, some are having resources in abundance. Here, resources include everything that is required to live a peaceful life. The thirst of fulfilling s
