Doctors opinion on their profession

Abject apologies

Abject apologies I just figured out I have not updated this since petrol was cheaper than a bottle of Grange!... You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. I prostrate myself in sorrow and beg thy forgiveness..

I am distracted with work, commitments, just generally being of great concern to my friends, my day seems to be packed from 8am to 11pm at which point I fall asleep on the couch. I am totally exhausted. life happens.

I wish I will make more of an effort to blog more often. Honestly! No Joke!.

Divide and Rule

Its agreed that the region of Telangana has suffered because of slow pace of development.This I think can be attributed to the callous attitude of the political parties, insufficient natural resources, comparatively less arable land although two rivers flow through this region.But the notion that it suffered at the cost of other regions of Andhra pradesh is outlandish and far from truth.Everyone knows about the perennial drought like conditions in Anantapur, kurnool, Prakasham dists.Even they too lag behind in developmental parameters.Lamenting that the people of Andhra region exploited the conditions in Telangana is totally baseless and false.
I understand the desperate felling in the people of Telangana region . Its high time that the government should keep up the the developmental activities so that the backwardness in the region can disappear.

Our state was the first state to form based on linguistic basis and every one is proud of the culture,dialects we speak in different parts of the state..Its this diversity that brings people closer.This whole issue is raked up the political parties for their own gains rather than for the people.

I don't think a party like TRS which claims that it works for the Telangana people would do any good for the development of this region. When the people of this region gave the mandate to them ,what have they done? Its President Mr.KCR having been in the position of central minister has not done any job for the country or for our state.People voted for TRS to bring development to their regions,not to keep fighting among themselves about who represents Telangana. Just think how much money is wasted because of these forced elections.What is that they want to prove ?That Telnganavadham exists? Or they represent the Telanganavadham. No MLA from that party can claim that they did developmental activities to their constituencies.People are educated and know about the tactics of these political leaders and I hope the government realize the reality and strive for the development of all the backward areas in Andhra Pradesh.

The British ruled and destroyed our country because of their divide and rule policy.If this is what these political parties are doing, they would not stand the misdeeds and people of Andhra Pradesh would show them the door.

God save this country

Lazing around in the home during these forced holidays , I was reading lots of articles about the current political situation in my state and my country.Oh Boy I thought education brings wisdom and knowledge that can make an young mind in to a responsible citizen.But alas I was totally astounded by the lack of interest and laxity of the present day youth in tackling the common problems surrounding them.Why have we become so self centered, egoistic persons.

I came across a few situations where I felt, may be we are selling our souls to meet our goals or ambitions or what ever work we are doing.
Being a doctor myself I am pained to see how insensitive people are when some one needs a helping hand. The typical situation of an ambulance to reach the hospital .Since there is no rule to give way to for emergency vehicles like ambulances, no body cares to give way to these vehicles.Every precious minute lost during the transportation brings the patient nearer to death.Its a loosing battle for the doctors and other medical professionals to revive a patient beyond certain point of time.
I was so anguished at this situation that ,when ever I come across some one obstructing the way for emergency vehicles I shout at them to think themselves or their family members in that ambulance and do what they would have done.Although harsh, I guess our society understands better with a carrot and stick method rather than the usual softer stance.

The other day I went to the barber shop,which I have been going for the last 8 years. Last time after a few month in US, I went to get my hair done, when I heard from them that one of the worker met with an accident involving an electric pole falling in him. Miraculously he survived and was under going physical rehabilitation. Last time when I went there I met him and asked him about the accident. After dropping off his son's lunch box at the school , on the way back home the electricity department was cutting trees.Nobody cautioned the public traveling on the road.A falling tree fell on the electricity line pulling the electric pole ,which fell on this fellow's cycle. It missed his head by a whisker and fell in the bike. The patient was knocked of the cycle and the pole landed on the back. He started bleeding and was unable to move . The surrounding public watched mutely with no one coming forward to pull him from under the pole. Some dumbass told that they should wait for the police to come or else it would be a crime to move the person from the scene of accident.

The Patient waited for full 10 mins before some good Samaritan pulled him out and called the ambulance. It was a miracle that he survived to tell the story and able to walk after suffering a vertebral fracture.

What could be done to bring change to this society which has buried itself and stopped caring for the fellow individuals.If education cannot bring wisdom and the qualities that are needed for making a responsible citizen, probably we should realize that our educational system should be changed and a serious effort be made by the elderly to teach the values to the children.

My 1st Impressions

People say 1st impressions matter most in judging a new person.Although I don't agree with it in whole I do think that there is some relevance of first impression in this present materialistic world where you are a product and the sales person too wooing others.
Well in all my experiences with new people, I must say the relation ship which develops between two individuals depends more than the first impressions.It depends on the various other factors like the pre conceived notion about a particular individual, which I think we have on every one.The outcome of that particular meeting may be positive or negative on what the other person had in mind about the other before.Suppose if you r going to meet some one whom you thought was head strong,cocky but when the interaction changes your opinion I guess that would build a positive relation b/w individuals.
