4Campbells law of Statistics..


5/78

According to Campbells Law of Engineering

Statistics

Statistics is a good tool,

provided used wisely but

remember Statistics is like a

Bikini, what it reveals may

be quite amusing. But, what

it conceals is more Vital.

6Family Physician..


6/78

Family Physician conceptforgotten & lost

Today, the multiple Health problems of anindividual are not tackled by a single Doctor.The patient himself decides to go to a Specialists.

7

How can a patient decide whether he should undergoa battery oftests or a particular Surgical procedure.Who should co-ordinate the 4 or 6 differentprescriptions of the Specialists? Usually, a Specialistnever takes into account what the other specialistshave prescribed. This is because a Specialist looks

only into his field of Specialization.

60 to 80% Lab investigations & Surgicalinterventions are unnecessarily done all over theworld in Modern Medicine. This is an open fact.


7/78

It is the role ofFamily Physician, Company orOrganizationDoctor to help the individual in such situations. And if needed, He should be in a position to discuss with theSpecialist concerned on behalf of the patient.

Reasons: Defensive Medicine, to meet the costs of overheads, Capital & Interest repayments and otherexpenditures ofCorporate Hospitals.

8Impact of Ill-health..

Remember,

It is notjust sufficient to acquire Health, it has to be maintained

through continuous efforts.

26Commercial & Unethical Medical practice..


13/78

Untiltwo decades ago, aDoctorenjoyed this status:

But today, the commercialization in the various systems of

medicine and unethical approach pushed the unique status to:

The situation will onlyworsen in future.

You are the brother of God of Death.

Whereas the Doctor takes away the Life, as well as Money.

The God of Death takes away the Life of the person;

Oh Doctor! you are God.

Oh Doctor, I salute you;?

27Educated Patient..

How ignorant today's educated Patient is andhow difficult it is, sometimes, to handle him,

Do you know ?

28

Please try to answer the following Questions.


15/78

What is the Normal

Blood pressure for adults?

29


16/78

NormalBlood Pressure

100 /60 to 140 /90 mm ofHg.for people below50years of age.

100 / 60 to 160 /90 mm of Hg.

for people afterthe age of50yrs.

120 /80 and Age 100 etc., as presumed by people, are not correct.

The Blood Pressure is neverconstant throughout the day.

Self measuring BP gadgets are notin the interest of Patients.

30

No Chronic disease by name low Blood Pressure as

believed byeducatedpeople.


17/78

SIMILARLY,

Pulse Rate

It is not constant at 72 / min as presumed by people.

31

Normal Pulse rate is 60 to 90 beats / min.

Do you know that some people have MISSED BEATS, which is quite acommon phenomenon particularly in smokers & those whoconsume lot of Tea & Coffee. It is quite normal to have 4 to 6missed beats/min is and do not cause any problems.

19/78

Are you supposedto use aPillow under theHead?

Sleeping on the back with a thick pillow to watch

TV or to read is very bad for the neck.

Sleeping on the back with a thin pillow orwithout a pillow, is

correct. But it is impractical .

If you do not know how to use a Pillow correctly, which is a daily affair, you

are heading for serious symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis, which can

create confusion with Cardiac pain.

33


20/78

The only,practical and the Correct way of Sleepingand using aPillow is-

Throughout during sleep, one changesposition from rightto leftandleftto rightmore than half a dozen times.

Pillow should be sufficiently & effectively thick (when softpillow is used) to keep the neck horizontal.

NOTE: Mattress should be 1 to 2 inches thick (Cotton)and on hard surface, for sleeping.

Sleeping on the stomach is notat allgoodfor the neck from theage of adolescence onwards.

Otherwise the moment restriction is imposed it will increase Stress.

2. How many times one should havecooked foodin a day ?

(i) Eating more than required in the day, and if one restricts the quantity,one is not satisfied and will feel at the end of the day, that one has not

eaten at all at the end of the day.

(ii) It leads to indigestion as secretions cannot be poured in so often.

77


37/78

EGG is also considered as Non-Vegetarian from nutrition

point of view. Saturated fats in yellow of the egg and other

Non-veg items promote Cholesterol levels in the Blood.

saturated fats in Non-vegetarian foods.

and one cannot eat proper quantities in the Meal.

b) The Hydrochloric acid which protects us from

various Bacterial, Fungal and Parasitic infestations,

becomes ineffective due to dilution.

(i) Vanaspathi (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil)

Is a good raw material for Cholesterol in blood. Hence to be

avoided at home. Any vegetable oil (refined or un-refined) is

good as a cooking medium except Coconut Oil & Palmolein Oil.

Most of the fried foods in Hotels, Restaurants, functions and

guest houses are prepared in hydrogenated vegetable oil. An

Executive traveling on companys account has to be aware of

this fact and be choosy while ordering food out side.

Un-refined Oil is much better than refined oil; but in cities it isimpractical to procure un-adulterated.

"Any oil which solidifies at room temperature contains saturated

fats and promotes LDL (bad) Cholesterol."

84

10. Microwave Oven,How safe is it?!

Indian recipes are too complicated for cooking in a Microwave Oven.

To put the expensive gadget to optimum use, there will be

a tendency to have as much stale food as possible.

Anything that can heat in a few seconds to the boiling point of Water,

is shortcut method.There are no shortcuts in the maintenance ofHealth.

Whether Microwave has any Health hazard, data is still awaited !!

B. Drugsituation in India - Pathetic

- Manner in which 10 - 16 Medicines prescribed by

Consultants, even forminorproblems.

- Spurious and sub-standard Medication in bulk

supply to Nursing Homes and even GovernmentHospitals.

- Banned Drugs are still prescribed and sold.

- Mammoth number of formulations licensed for

manufacture

104

Note : Margin oferroris very critical in elders that too when multiple

drugs are given and sometimes it can result in fatal outcome.


64/78

The WHO has drawn up an Essential drug

list ofonly 312 (2005) basic drugs (generic

name) required forRational therapy.

Bangladesh is managing today with only

150 formulations.

According to the Hathi committee" report

appointed by Govt. of India some yearsago, 117 drugs are enough for Primary

Health Care in India.

Drug situation in India contd

105


65/78

Unfortunately, there are about 1,70,000 formulations in Indian

market and 80% of these drugs are -

Inessential

Irrational

Harmful and drugs of

Doubtfulefficacy

Rs. 80,000 Crores per annum is the financial turnover of

pharmaceutical Industry in India, and unless Prime Minister takes

initiative, this situation cannot be corrected.

This situation will never be corrected during our life time as none

of the future Prime Ministers of our country will dare to meddle with

this Hornet's Nest. They have enough of other problems on their

heads including their own survival with the support and mercy of

belligerent coalition political parties.


106


66/78

No body has done research or can ever do so about drug

interaction between various drugs when 1,50,000 formulationsare existent today in India and the numberis ever increasing.

When 8-16 types of medication taken by a patient in a day

(prescribed by various specialists) meet in the stomach, in blood,

in Liver or in Kidneys- What happens, no body knows. It could be

an Al-Quaida meeting who knows?

Mix- 1 cup of coffee +1cup of grape juice +add 1 table spoon ofanchovy sauce +1 cup of Yogurt+ 100 ml of Cola +1cup of porridge+2pegs of Whisky

Will the above mixture taste good or bad, whether it will be

beneficialorharmful??


107

God also may notbe able to make out !!


67/78

Hence dictum shouldbe to

manage with as minimum

medication as possible andavoidtaking multiple

medication together.

Dr. B. Bapuji

108


68/78

Under these circumstances somebody rightly said:

Consult the Doctor, pay his fee so that he

can make his living !

Take the Doctor's prescription to the

pharmacist, buy the Medicines, forhe has

to live !

Bring the Medicines home, throw themaway, forYou too have to survive !!"

113


73/78

3. Pan Masalas (mouth fresheners)

4. NarcoticDrugs

- It takes only two days to get addicted to a Narcotic drug.

74/78

Togive up an addiction

Remember, an addiction can neverbe given up gradually. ithas to be stopped totally and abruptly. When it is stoppedsuddenly, withdrawal symptoms like- restlessness,irritability, irrational behavior, sleeplessness etc., develop.

Remaining on Liquid diet for three days helps in reducingthe withdrawal symptoms. Take Family Physicians orPsychiatrists help in having a sedative or tranquilizer for

sleeplessness.

One has to make up one's mind before attempting totalabstinence. Co-operation offamily members and Friends ishighly essential in encouraging abstinence and overcometemptation.

115
