Guys am so sorry for not updating before met with an accident

People trust medical practitioners, believing that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their health. But when this knowledge is misused to exploit this trust medical care becomes a nightmare. The profession is riddled with unscrupulous doctors and hospitals out to make big bucks at the cost of patients, but there are still medical practitioners who stand up for the Hippocratic Oath, and those who want to clean up the profession.

It is generally believed that health is wealth; one can tackle any of life's problems if one is in good health. But when one is not in good health, whom does one go to for help?

The system of commissions and payoffs is rampant, and sickening. And unscrupulous doctors are to be found everywhere, even operating among the poorest sections.

Just as there are people who are part of the problem, there are people who are part of the solution.

A major part of health care is the pharmaceutical profession. And the cost of branded medicines can be astronomical, as can the difference between these and generic medicines.

Should every state government follow the example of Rajasthan and open generic medicine stores throughout their state so that all citizens get medicines at the lowest possible price? Aamir salutes doctors who are working selflessly and tirelessly in the genuine spirit of their profession -- helping people and being healers -- and appeals to medical students to hold such doctors as their ideal.

Will give minor details later:)
