Coup On Medicine Field -2 [Advanced Medical Field]

Advancement and good development is in medical field. In the same proportion or more proportion, diseases are also increasing. No more control or supervision on food market. Either in production or in marketing, no more supervision of food control inspectors or health inspectors. The job holders are there but no more job work performance. Including raw materials, food processing and selling counters such as hotels or stalls or super-markets; no more health control, no-where from corporate food item level to street selling cart level. Take fruits, there is the fear of carbide. The fruit vendors, fruit business men, everybody using carbide to ripe fruits with bright and attractive colors. No bother about ‘allergies’ that people are suffering from it, including kids to old people. If the allergies spread much in society, there will be much business for hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. Actually fruits are dependable food to kids, old generation and ill health people i.e. patients. If such fruits are polluted with carbide, in whatever manner we wash them before eat, won’t they damage the health? Corporate food items such as jams, biscuits, chocolates, chips etc. etc. attract the children with colorful and tempting Ads. Corporate foods items such as noodles, instant mix etc. etc. attract the housewives & employees with readymade and less effort in preparation methods through Ads, and occupy their busy brains. In corporate foods, how many coloring agents, how many tasting agents, how many preservative agents, how many flavoring agents, how many expandive agents and ultimately how many chemical agents are mixing in them, among them how many are advisable to health and how many are dangerous to health, who is thinking and who is taking care? Though they give obesity, though they give allergies, though they give ill health in long run, who is omitting the instant joy in their busy life. Maximum portion of people for gotten self-control. That’s why only cigarettes and liquors, somehow Narcotics have their own market. Who is responsible to this situation? Governments? Corporate companies? Ad media? And Public?

This situation is suitable to one of our Telugu idiom “తిలా పాపం తలా పిడికెడు ”
That means sin of gingili seeds will be distributed to everybody as palmful. In our Telugu traditions, it anybody dies, after cremation and formal religious programmers, gingili seeds and water will be thrown in rivers and gingili seeds will spread on floor as food to ants & crows. If a group killed a person, the sin of such murder will be distributed to everybody. In that context, Telugu elders used to say this idiom.

At any time, if any alertness happens to food and health inspecting departments, immediately they target on poor basthies, on buddy shops [tiny shops of poor], pickle vendors on cycles or carts and pawnshop holders. It is a paradox created by Govt. employees, redtapistic Govt. policy, supporting spying from media. Ultimately, a nation will become weak in physical and psychological.

It we consider water issue, 20 years back, no problem and no pollution in water to drink, anywhere. But now! Crores of crores rupees business is on water. If we go to hotel to eat something oil fear, food color fear, to drink water diarrhea fear, to drink cool drink pesticide fear. To eat fruits carbide fear, totally to lead life, doctor fear.

If we go to hospital with one disease, multiple diseases will be found out. It may be the accuracy in medicine. But the question is whether the poor and common man can effort the private medical treatment or not? If they go to Govt. doctors, there is the careless and neglecting in Govt. hospitals. Some of the sincere service of the staff as doctors, nurses and hospitals is there, but how far it is sufficient to the vast poor & normal public patients? Govt. is showing wanted neglecting in this angle. Because I experienced and observed the care taken in Govt. hospital in Guntur at the time of Mrs. Indira Gandhi Govt. in 1983 and after that time period. If anybody argues with me that, this situation is the result of corruption, not of the Govt. or of some rulers, I remind them a Sanskrit idiom “యధారాజా తధాప్రజా”. That means in which manner the kings or rulers behave, in the same manner the people will behave. This explained in Bhagavad Geetha also as

“యద్య దాచరతి శ్రేష్ఠ స్తత్త దేవేతరో జనః
స యత్ర్పమాణం కురుతే లోక స్త దనువర్తతే”

That means people will follow their leaders.

So that from top to bottom, from P.M., C.M., Chair persons, directors up to attenders, coolies everybody is running to pick up currency notes, no check, no supervision, no thinking, no feeling, no humanity, no living, only gathering of money.

Govt. doctors are busy with private hospitals or in partnership in corporate hospitals. It is imposable to doctor when his colleague is earning money by participating private business and it is impossible to continue only in public service with idealistic views, that is without getting much carrier. Idealism means work in limits, feel limits, earn in limits, enjoy in limits. Idealism means earn Dharma Ardha Kama Mokshaw i.e. perform your duty in right manner, earn money appropriate to your work and talent, fulfill your righteous desires, by the way earn good place in heaven, that means in God’s world.

In this context, I explain you a real fact in Guntur. At that time, there was a doctor by name Gandhi in one of poor colonies called Nalla Cheruvu in Guntur. He used to treat the poor with nominal fees and lived in that area. He had good reputation among poor. They used to deal him, as God to them. Might be he enjoyed such cheers, might be he satisfied with such gratitude from poor, he was continued his life there for long time.

But in 1990 around, one day a roudy sheeter made a dommy i.e. physical beat on him and dragged his wife and daughter onto the road used rough tongue and ill treated them in nasty way. The police could not stop him. The reasons of police silence might be corruption. By fearing the notorious publicity of roudy sheeter, poor public had forgotten their responsibility, unity and their strength.

With such humiliation, that doctor died within few months. It had given a sensational signal in to the society, and I clearly remembered the conversations of my parents, neighbors, elders in society regarding such sensational issue. So many doctors having similar feelings of Dr. Gandhi, Nalla cheruvu slowly wound up their medical practice or changed their trend. With in short period, in Guntur, suddenly the consultation fees of doctors got increased and advance payments, medical shop & labs openings in the hospital etc. corporate methods were introduced.

In ancient days, after getting cure, patients used to pay to the doctor according to their economical ability and gratitude. Because the patients used to think that their life was much valuable than money, they used to pay the doctor as their level best up to the satisfaction of doctors as well as doctors also used to enjoy the gratitude some public and money from patients to lead comfortable life. The things of this relationship were in continuity up to Dr. Gandhi’s sorrowful ending of life at Guntur among the doctors and patients.

But after that incident, receptionist had got appointed in hospitals, to collect the consultation fee in advance. That’s all the end of emotions and beginning of business. Actually food, education and medicine should be deal in society beyond the limits of money. In such case, what we can say if the food, education and medicine became the source of business?
