Thanks to the physical outside movement restrictions and confinement to home, on leisurely thinking, I observed some pertinent points in connection with the current curfew positiond, and present them below--without any prejudice to the medical profession on the whole, while paying sincere tribute to the yeoman selfless humanitarian services done by them during this global health crisis period.
OPD is closed in hospitals;
Despite this, there is no rush at Emergency. So how did diseases reduce so much?
Granted, there are no vehicles plying on the streets; So there are no road accidents.
But there are also no problems like heart attack, brain hemorrhage or hypertension?
How did it happen that there is no complaint from anybody that no one is being treated?
The number of dead bodies coming for burial/cremation is down by 25-30%.
In Benares, on an average 80 to 100 dead bodies used to come to Harishchandra Ghat. But only 20 or 25 dead bodies are coming in the time of Corona.
It is said that in summer, there is an increase in dead body count every year, but not this year...
The patients who are admitted in the hospitals are all in the past, and as no new patients are admitted, think, it is really surprising that all the diseases went missing ??
Has the corona virus affected all the diseases?
No.
This raises the question of commercialization of the medical profession.
Where there is no disease, the doctors create one.
After the emergence of the corporate hospital, the crisis has deepened. In the slightest instance of cold and cough, a hundred tests are prescribed.
But today ???
The beds are lying empty in most hospitals. I am not trying to reduce the importance of doctors' service. I salute the services...but this is a question worth asking.
Apart from this, people are eating home food, It also makes a difference. If the system does its job properly and people get clean water and pure food, then half the diseases will be eliminated like this.
There was a survey in Canada about 4-5 decades ago.
There was a strike of doctors for a long period. The survey found that the death rate declined during this period.
Health is a part of our lifestyle, and it is not dependent on doctors.
Mahatma Gandhi has written in Hind Swaraj that doctors will never want people to be healthy and the lawyers would never want the discord to end.
However, there are problems with lockdown which are unavoidable but it has also given some informative and interesting experiences.
any other?s thought process ..............????.
