MEDICAL LEARNING 16

 




    Mathura a 53 year old lady working as a teacher was on treatment for hypertension for the last 6 years. Last 8 days she was not feeling well and went to see the doctor at the hospital. She was examined and having not found any disease was sent home with some tonics.This kept on happening for full 8 days. On the 9th day she collapsed. Was shifted as a critical case to the closest hospital. The hospital started the treatment and the patient lost her life even before the blood reports arrived. The blood reports were good but they showed extremely low salt (Na 98) in her body.

            The reason was simple. She was on medicines for BP which were losing salt. On top of it she was advised salt restricted diet which she was following very strictly.

    Again another victim of this fable of salt restricted diet in our nation where we sweat a lot and lose salt from the body. An earnest appeal to everyone. Please check your salt and only then decide about restricting salt in your diet.

            I have seen a large number of such situations in my long medical practice and research. You lose minimum 5-6 grammes of salt daily through sweat. This needs to be replaced

Learn to Ask and learn to Thank

 Universe has and gifts us everything in abundance for all of us.We only need to accept it,thank the universe and enjoy it.   The oxygen that we take in hospital costs us Rs 5000 a day. You can take in any amount of oxygen from the nature without paying a penny.But we do not hesitate to destroy the whole supply of oxygen from the place we live even after knowing that the absense or lack of this oxygen is making us unsurvivable.We only have to understand this and be careful and thankful to the universe.      Develop the attitude to ask and thank.Even a newborn child has to ask his mother I want milk.When its stomach is full,just observe the child goes to sleep or plays with the mother saying thank you.Every need and luxury that we need is at our disposable. Learn to ask and learn to thank.We do not have the abundance of universe only because we have not earned to ASK and we haven't learned to THANK.       Embrace this science and art of Ask and Thank,universe will make you abundant

Which Pathy is better.

People worldwide have this constant debate going on.The allopaths say Ayurveda and homeopathy are placebos.While the others say allopathy is a wrong science.        I have seen the Ayurveda practitioners treating themselves with allopathic drugs and vice versa.       I have seen myself treating and curing patients with whatever drugs that have come to my hands on a number of occasions. Health and pathy or drugs may not matter at all on a number of occasions.       Healing is an internal matter. It is for the physician or the Vaidya to understand the patient and alter his mind to cure himself.Many of the medicines may only be the vehicles to reach that destination. Better the vehicle better and safer is the journey.
