medical

Medical, Doctors, etc- Now days the drug piracy is very high. Many pirated medicines are sold to public by the shopkeeper/Medical Store. These fake/spurious medicines are very dangerous for the health of public and sometimes it results in death also. On many occasions the shopkeeper does not accept/give change. Instead of change they give toffees/sweets. This is wrong. Some basic medicines should me made available to public without the doctor’s prescription. The Doctors are careless too. Sometimes they give medicines to their patients without adequate and appropriate investigations. They give it on the base of hit or miss method. This adds more sufferings to the patients and sometimes results in death also. Sometime the Doctors recommend for various lab tests, blood tests, x-rays, etc and many of them are unnecessary. They recommend these tests to earn commission from various pathology labs, etc. It is the duty of the doctor to tell their patients about the disease and about the medicines they prescribe in a general way. The doctors should tell the patients that this medicine is for this disease. But most of the doctors don’t tell their patients about it. While operations they left scissors, etc in the body of patients. Sometimes the equipments are not properly cleaned and as a result the patients suffer from new blood transmitted diseases. It’s really hard to prove the carelessness of the doctors in the court. Solutions- The government should make easily available the change. There should be strict laws on fake medicines and on the shopkeepers who do not accept or give change and these should be strictly followed. The responsibility and duty of the doctors should be embedded in them in medical colleges. Strict laws should be made and followed on the carelessness and negligence of doctors. The doctor should be polite and should tell the patients of their disease and the effects of medicines. Government hospitals should provide more facilities to the public and these facilities should me made easily available to the public. The government should provide social security number to every citizen and provide medical insurance to every citizen either free of cost or on nominal cost.
