I hope Indians will realize a few things due to CoVid19 pandemic -
1. Healthcare is everyone's responsibility not just doctors'
2. It takes years to build manpower and in India, hospitals too.
3. Government healthcare facilities are perpetually ignored.
4. Science should trump politics and inform action but that is NOT allowed due to ego and vested interests.
5. Medicine is a subset of healthcare. Healthcare is affected by EVERY action of EVERY ministry of government.
6. Indian public has little scientific attitude
expectations of our founding fathers about "scientific attitude" have been ignored to our own detriment.
7. People need to think, support and enable healthcare ALL THE TIME, not just during crisis.
8. Don't trust Bollywood Divas about healthcare advice.
9. Polished veneer should be discarded in favor of solid foundation when money is short.
10 Money is always short for healthcare in ALL countries.

Lot of messages circulating about how there is very little illness around (except covid) when all dispensaries are closed so doctors make up diseases to fleece you.

Let me offer you alternate explanations -
1. A significant percentage of illhealth or not feeling "well" probably doesn't need medical attention. All these people visit doctors to make sure "it is okay"
2. Many follow up appointments are to make sure things remain on track and to pick up early signs of complications
3. If you are in better health because you are at home then may be cause of your illhealth is traffic, commute, accidents, pollution, job stress, unhealthy lifestyle, alcohol and smoking, poor sleep, eating out, fatigue, etc. Blame modern life not doctors.

In India lot of parents are interested in future career choices of their kids from a very early age. This desire to find out "gifted" domain of child drives parents to many irrational and outright harmful paths.
This thread is to help you if this question about child's future keeps you awake at night.

i want to stop you from being an emotional idiot and be harmed by scams.
Most parents tend to believe following things (traps)-
1. Everyone we know is doing it. Yes. Most Indians buy money back policies too. we are hardly a sensible herd!

This is the time of year when i get phone calls from parents about promoting child to next academic year.

In most cases children are asked by school to stay back for a year and parents are opposed to it. Sometimes it is the other way round.
Ideally child should have had 6th birthday before starting Std 1 in India. Rules vary according to state and board and this causes lot of turbulence.

If given a choice, being the youngest child in the class is to be avoided. Because a child if squeezed into such class
can be as much as 13 month or more younger than oldest kid in the class. That's almost 15-20% of their lifetime. It is a lot of developmental time esp for a young child.
