How best to utilise the services of the Doctors.

In my last article I have concluded that health is in our hands. That leaves a question in us, ' When and how best we can take the help of the doctors.


Certainly there are many occasions we are dependent on the services of the so called health care professionals. Some of the occasions one can think of is as follows.


1.At times of certain infection causing fever, rashes and acute body pain.



2.When some one has diarrhea and vomiting



3.When some one is wounded in accident and in the course of games.



4.At times of insect and reptile bite.



5.Wounds due to animal and human attack.



6.Severe pain in any part of the body.



7.Excessive continuous discharge of body liquids.



8.When some one is unconsciousness or semiconscious



9. Excessive intoxication due to drug or alcohol



10. When some one is facing difficulty in breathing



11.During emergency conditions to provide life saving care.



When we take somebody, we must be conscious not to get excited by the initial



drama of the trauma care. It could be genuine or could be a show of also. By now people are getting accustomed to these real time dramas. But if one does not have any prior experience of taking some one in emergency condition and when money is not a big issue to meet out the expenses, the patient's relatives might be taken for a ride. However we may have to cooperate because there is no alternative.


It is better to take second opinion when a surgical intervention is suggested. However in case of accident victims taking a decision is difficult. Much depends on the luck of the unlucky victim. There can not be any hard and fast rule.


So in conclusion it can be stated that Doctors need not be obeyed as God's representatives but should only be given due consideration as any other professional.

The WhatsApp Groups

The WhatsApp Groups . WhatsApp has become very popular next to Facebook for the conveniences it offers. The one factor that defeated Internet Explorer is that all the messages will be downloaded to the computer system before one can read or reply. Peculiarly the same factor made WhatsApp popular. There is the troublesome side of WhatsApp too. The trouble might come easily through "WhatsApp groups".The groups are useful to some extent for fast communications but are troublesome also. Suddenly one of   our acquaintances who happen to be an admin of a group, might add us to a group, many times without our permissions. There exits an option to leave the group. But we find some messages, some memes or some videos interesting and so we stick on to that group. We ourselves sometimes think that we can comment for the postings. We think that it will be a contribution of a great idea or an appreciation that will make us popular. Right appreciations do make us popular. But...

The beliefs that drive people( For those who are interested in “Why')

April 24,2012 was celebrated as Akshaya Thrithiyai a festival recently rediscovered to buy gold. It all started five years ago when a smart jeweler in our town caught hold of a so called Prohit to sow a belief that will boost his sales. A Prohit is a person who projects himself to have great knowledge of Hindu rituals and dresses him self in distinctly peculiar ways, fore head shaved and the hair left to grow long on the back is tied in a knot. They wear some religious marks on the temple either three horizontal bands of holy ash or a white U or Y mark having a red line in the middle. Just as one does not question an automobile mechanic, people in India do not question these Prohits also. It is understood that there are some Veda Schools that teach the authentic techniques for the popular rituals and the Vedic rhymes that are to be chanted as mantras during the rituals. But most of these Prohits do not study there. They gain the knowledge of these mantras from some senior Prohit. Th...

MEDITATION

I learnt Transcendental Meditation(TM) through the institute of Guruji Mahesh Yogi. Then I learnt Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY) taught by Guruji Vedathri Maharishi. All these I did 25 years ago. I have read the topics on meditation written by Swami Vivekananda, Swami Jugi Vasudev and also browsed through some chapters by Pathanchali Maharishi, Osho and also J. Krishnamoorthy. You may ask me why I am not satisfied with the first technique TM. Transcendental Meditation bring inner peace by focusing the mind initially on a mantra then reaching a state of no thoughts. This they say will be blissful happiness. I was not convinced because to escape from the real world and to stay away did not convince me. In SKY the mind is focused on the tip of the spinal cord called the Mooladhara Chakra and the energy dormant there is raised to the fore head. One could feel a mild pressure between the eye brows and observing this will calm down ones mind. A calm mind is capable of concentration....
