National Digital Health Mission : Clarification

Long Thread. Please be patient even if you feel certain Points are repeated

Let us start with a letter. How do I send you a letter. I send to your home address or office Address. You have got the letter, read it and filed it

Now, if you want to read it for some clarification, you need to go to your home or office, retrieve the file and check it

This was how letters were being used.

Then in 1990s came the eMail. Here The Mail was served in a server and you can read it any time.

In the early days, the server was maintained by Educational institutions or Internet Service Providers. Though you were getting the letters, the downside was that you need to change your address once you left the educational institution or opted for another ISP

#FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on #BCG (#Bacille #Calmette-#Guerin) #Vaccine Trial
Question : Will BCG vaccine really benefit to control COVID in elderly ?
My Answer : Yet, It will. But, “control”, (like Prevent or Save) is a wrong word to be used. The Right word is “Reduce”

BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to control COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to prevent COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t save elderly from COVID
But
BCG Vaccine will reduce Mortality and Morbidity in Elderly

To Substantiate this, they are planning to start a trial

I have seen many comments regarding this photo

But
In all I saw,
The Crux was missed
Let me explain

-oOo - Alert : Long Thread -oOo -

Once upon a time, when home deliveries were the norms, deaths due to Neonatal tetanus was very high as compared to other conditions

Once Home Deliveries Reduced and People started delivering in hospitals, once Asepsis was brought into deliveries, Neonatal Tetanus reduced. And then There were deaths due to Diphtheria and Pertussis

Later Vaccines reduced deaths due to Diphtheria and Pertussis

And this point of time ADD and LRI killed childredn

Once he conquered ADD and LRI by *Primary Care*, he died from TB and Leprosy

A Prime Minister's Wife Died due to TB
A famous Tamil Author died due to TB
The Greatest Mathematician died due to TB

Often I find GEMs talk about #Empathy and #Compassion in Healthcare
And
Without exception, those who insist these are the people who totally Lack Empathy and Compassion

Empathy
is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

(GEM - Google Educated Morons)

What does this mean
This means that
The Doctor should understand and share the feelings of the patient
Or
The doctor should feel the pain of the patient himself / herself
The Doctor should feel the apprehensions of the patient himself / herself

Compassion is the sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.

Do Doctors Have this
YES

Do Doctors Lack This
No

But then why do many patients say that the doctor does not have empathy or compassion

Only Those who are greedy and selfish say so
