Medical Field in India

!Ol my Medical n NonMedical frnz do read this one! The most irritating thing about working in Hospitals is 'Visiting Hours' I really dont understand why ppl come to visit patients in Hospitals! Hardly 5% people coming r really concerned about their health n r thinking how they can b helpful to the patients in real sense! Rest 95% ppl do come for x y z reasons which indian tradition is set for! Either bcz just they r free, curious to know what's happening, sharing their irrelevant n expert experiences n knowledge with everyone patient n relatives n doctors, some r coming just to c billing n other facilities so tht they cn give judgement abt hospital which they have never known about or just to Ask Stupid questions n irritate ppl around! Eventually these so called well wishers spoil the case in many ways. Sometimes people come and ask for a patient but they dont even know him / her by name neither they have numbers but still insist on meeting!! This Tradition should...

As the days are passing by, I realized that there are so many notions and misbeliefs about ICU, specially in our country, prevailing in society and non medical persons' minds, leading to mistrust and miscommunication between Doctors and Patients' relatives and those so-called well wishers with extra ordinary knowledge - about these concepts which are more of misconceptions, always eager to share their expert opinions. Few most common of them are, 'Patient is dead already and is kept on ventilator for monitory gains by doctor / hospital' 'Patient once kept on ventilator will never come out of ICU' 'Patient can not die and would not be declared dead because ventilator is On and is running the whole body' Here I would like to clarify few of these things, not useful for medicos of course, who are already knowing the facts and simplest fact that, dead body can not be kept in ICU on any number of machines, ventilator only supports your lungs and...

Today's day - 10th April is known as World Homeopathy Day - 2019 being 264th Birth Anniversary of founder Dr CFS Hahnemann - German Physician - Who invented homeopathy - Which is now second most used and effective branch of medical practice - fastest growing alternative medicine in India and in many other countries of the world. There are around 225 colleges (I Doubt the standards followed) offering BHMS degree to students and around 2,00,000 registered medical practitioners and 12,000 being added annually to it in India. As per last statastics around 200 million people around the globe use homeopathic treatment solely for their health, specially for children And it is now added in National Health System by few countries including India. Then where r v lacking in our country to use this system & doctors?? Hardly 20% of students r doing homeopathic practice after passing out and majority r struggling for their career and continue as clinical assistant or RMO in hospitals,...

'THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG IS TO INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT ORGAN DONATION' AS PER RECENT DATA / STATISTICS THAT WE CAN SEE ON FEW GOVT / NGO WEBSITES ABOUT ORGAN DONATION, INDIA IS WAY TOO BEHIND THEN MANY OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, SPECIALLY IN RESPECT TO THE POPULATION WE HAVE & IN RESPECT TO NUMBER OF PATIENTS REQUIRING ORGAN DONATION & THE DEATHS OCCURRING PER YEAR DUE TO LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF ORGANS. AT LARGE TWO CAUSES ARE IDENTIFIED FOR THE SAME 1. LACK OF AWARENESS AND EDUCATION FOR THE SAME IN GENERAL POPULATION AS WELL AS MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. 2. MISCONCEPTIONS AND FAMILY BELIEFS / MISBELIEFS IN OUR SOCIETY DUE TO ONE REASON OR OTHER FOR EXAMPLE ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS CONCEPTS. FEW DATA THAT I HAVE SEEN ON SUCH WEBSITES ARE AS BELOW. COUNTRIES LIKE SINGAPORE AND SPAIN ARE AT TOP (20 TO 30 PER MILLION OF POPULATION) IN ORGAN DONATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE DEVELOPED CONCEPT OF 'PRESUMED CONSENT' WHERE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TAKE DECISION ABOUT...
