Guest guest Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yes Bharat, Even we sometimes decide to go to a particular mall, just because the Parking is free or convenient. With space at a premium I think this is understandable. What is the present status at Sevagram? Kishore Shah 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Well written piece Bharat. I don't know if alternative medicine ( ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy ) is gathering steam in India. But here in the US all of the top universities have dedicated departments now to what they call CAM : Complementary Alternative Medicine. All CME and academy conferences have sessions dedicated to CAM. Is there still a lot of skepticism in the medical community establishment for these other disciplines ?

I would not like my question to be seen as an attempt to sensationalize anorectal conditions. To avoid any disparagement, I will tell you straightaway what this ridiculous question is about. > > I chanced upon an advertisement in a newspaper today. It had this question as the heading. It was printed in red for that extra effect. I do not know whether it was the newspaper or the clinic, which put out this ad, had wanted it to be this way. It might have been designed to draw the reader's attention. It certainly drew mine. > > This was an ad placed in the newspaper by an Ayurved clinic in a metropolitan city. It is an ISO-certified centre. It was boldly announced that the clinic is the winner of the Hakim Ajmal Khan Global Award for the Best Ayurved and Unani Clinic. The brief write-up began: " Plies or haemorrhoids is not a disease but..... " It explained what the experts at the clinic thought about these conditions. A few causes were mentioned. There was also a description of the symptoms. Finally, there was advice for patients having these afflictions. Undoubtedly, they were being sincere when they decided to educate the public about the problems not many would like to discuss with their doctor easily. > > There was also a mention of certain other conditions the clinic specialises in. 'Physical weakness (male/female), underweight, stomach problems, skin ailments and female diseases' were some of the conditions the clinic offers treatment for. I found it to be a good example of comprehensive health care. > > The clinic has a helpline. The email address was given. The days when the clinics (there are three of them) remains closed was given clearly to save the patients any confusion or inconvenience. There was a photo of the Director or the Chief Physician in a welcoming pose, with a confident smile. His face had the combined features of Sachin (the actor) and Anoop Jalota (the singer). > > At the end, there was an interesting piece of information: " Parking Available " . I am not sure of the clinic's claimed curative capabilities for the numerous problems listed in the ad, but anyone going there would be definitely cured of his 'parking problem'. > > Bharat > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't know how many are aware of the fact that in India a Bachelor of Ayurveda, or Homeopathy or Naturopathy can prescribe Allopathic medications (yes, they are the duty doctors in most private hospitals). However an MBBS (or even allopathic post graduate) isn't legally allowed to prescribe any of the above medications (ayurvedic, homeopathic). This I learnt when I was presenting my own study of the use of Himalaya's Septilin (ayurvedic) in the long term management of chronic blepharitis in a District level ophthalmology seminar.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think there is some confusion here. A recent court judgment penalized an Ayurveda practitioner for prescribing Allopathic medicine.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I know one dr in bandra bams and a brilliant knowledgeable guy who was in icu and used to do all procedures done by qualified experts for over 25 yrs . Even today at lectures and conferences he comes out with brilliant questions. Ability and interest is there. I know the fellow well.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 It is a step in the right direction if that has happened, Kishore. Here, in MP they are now sending BAMS and BHMS doctors to rural outposts, PHC's to fill in the vacancies. Recently, when my father was hospitalized, there was one MBBS doctor in charge of the CCU (Critical Care Unit), a very competent doctor, and there were 4-5 BAMS to assist. The night duty doctor was BAMS. I hear its the same story in most private hospitals. I am not talking about the likes of Wokhardt or Apollo.
