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.

Naturopathy camp

(All places referred in this article are in Tamilnadu, India)   In spite of being cautious with respect to food and exercise, I see a drastic increase in my weight these days and I was not sure whether I am all that healthy. Most of the days when I am in my home town, I fondly do surya namaskar asana, yoga asana and pranayama. I am aware of meditation also but do not practice it for fear of losing the aggressive attitude that is very much required for my business these days. Contentment may result in complacence and a leader today cannot be contended for he is required to run in the front so that his team will follow. The next generation has more challenges and we cannot be teaching contentment to them because of ruthless society that has been formed.  I wanted to understand what is wrong with my habits and more about healthier living. Some of my acquaintances had gone to Aravind Ashram, Rajapalayam for a training in naturopathy and yoga and I also made up my mind to take u

THE PERPETUAL SEARCH

Lakhs & Crores of people are ahead of me and lakhs are behind me, we are all running “Where are we going?” I asked some one by my side. “People ahead of us are clear about the destination, they know everything. So we are following them.” “People behind us can also think like that, so could the assumption be wrong?” I said. He stared at me and started running. “What can we see at the end of our journey?” I enquired another. “You can reach glittering heaven and God will welcome us there”. “Is there any one who has seen this and returned or some one who can confirm this?” “You are an atheist and you will not achieve anything and you will never allow any one else to achieve”. He cursed me and went ahead. Without giving up, I asked the next guy, “Why are we running?” He said “Our legs are created for running and we have been trained to run and so we are running.” “If we have been trained to stand, relax and sit then can we conclude that legs are for that only?”

Dreams,Goals and Targets.

Dream is a term talked very much these days. The word has found a place in the corporate world and whether people understand it or not, using this has become a fashion. The recent popularity of this term may be due to the fact that our Past President Dr. APJ.Abdul Kalam used this to motivate young people. It is very true that once you have a strong dream, every thing around you will align to make you realise your dream. I can quote many instances in my own life to support this. The trouble is how to have a strong dream. It appears that ones dream very much depends on his basic attitude. If by virtue of your attitude, you are comfortable the way you are, reading a book like 'The Magic of Thinking Big ' will not move you even a little to form your own dream. To read the book itself you need to have an attitude. All of us are born in environments that are never our choices. We are born with certain facilities and certain commitments. However the dream can just enter your inne
