U r 100% right. It is apathy of all concerned .U must rush to large hospitals  in emergency. For planned treatments and minor surgeries u may go to near by illequipped nursing home.

Subject: [mumbai_intellectuals_voice_and_media_source] How many patient that enter night Casualty die bacause of mis-managment

 
Does an emergency patient gets complete treatment in night Casualty of any Nursing homes, Private multi-speciality hospital or Government Hospitals.

Specialist services r hardly available for common man during night hours.

Nursing homes seem to be the worst in the line because most of them have night duty doctors who do not have Alopathy degree and nursing homes r only place where they could get a job.

Private Hospitals and Government hospitals have RMO in night duty who have basic MMBS degree and r further studying post graduation but they r authorised to give only basic first-aid. So the final line of treatment starts only after the decision is taken by the main doctor on day break. But this lapse of few hours in getting the treatment is most of the time fatal for most of the patient or they may otherwise also land up in ICU. Difference between time when any patient entered the hospital for treatment, time mention on any of his test report that could have been done even while he was in casualty bed, time when he was allotted bed, though at least 2 beds r always reserved in every hospital for critical patients that enter casualty, will clearly give picture of deficiency in service. Also always it is practise to first admit any patient in ward and then transfer him to ICU, which again results fatal for some patients.Do common man especially accident cases get emergency operation at night itself especially in multi-speciality hospital.

Relatives r ignorant how system works, and most of the time take all mismanagement of authorities as fate of their patient.

To make the matter simpler, even a critical patient is refused admission or is directed to some other small hospital or nursing home with the excuse no bed is available, may be because of some nexus between on duty doctor and such hospitals.

Do we have any solution to the problem. How such a important health issue got escaped from the eyes of media, though when questioned claim to know better since being in the field. Is media biased in not reporting such issues, to give protection to such hospitals.

rgds,

    Health is wealth

     

    SOUL FULL
    Health is wealth


    Today,the number of hospital beds available is seen as a parameter for urbanisation and economic growth.In reality,it should be the other way around.The ultimate healthcare goal should be to eradicate the need for hospitals! Today people spend half of their health in earning wealth and then spend all of their wealth in regaining their lost health.And we consider this a sign of progress.
    In days of yore,there was no CT scan,no MRI,yet the benchmark was much higher.People lived longer,they were healthier and more importantly they were happier.
    We need to look at urban healthcare in a holistic manner.Just creating healthcare infrastructure will not build a healthy society.Today,there is hatred in society,there is greed,fear and because of this depression and stress has set in.Stress is the one of the biggest causes of urban health problems.It is appaling to hear that in the coming decades depression will be the number one disease in the world.
    So what is being healthy If you are feeling rough inside,then you are not healthy;if your mind is stiff and not calm,you are not mentally healthy.When your emotions are rough,you are emotionally not healthy.
    To attain a perfect state of health,one has to be mentally calm,steady and emotionally soft.But this is not an easy state to attain in todays fast-paced life.
    We have heard about dental hygiene,physical hygiene but we have forgotten the most important of all and that is mental hygiene.Mental well-being is improved perception,improved observation and improved expression.Our mind is like a container.We are simply dumping things into it and not attending to its cleanliness thus accumulating stress and in-turn ruining our health.
    There are two ways to manage our stress levels.One,we can cut down our mental and physical workload.That seems quite impossible.Alternatively,we can increase our energy level.Mind-body activities such as breathing techniques,meditation and yoga work wonders in keeping our energy or prana level high.Yoga is a very simple way to keep our system free from stress.Practice of yoga can release the tensions,negative emotions and help one to live in the present moment.In this age of technology,we care very little for our emotional and spiritual needs.Neither at home nor in school,do we learn how to release negative emotions.Yoga and meditation can help one get rid of it.Meditation is food for our soul and it brings forth the inner wealth.Meditation removes fixed and preconceived impressions and removes the stresses of day-to-day living.It is hundred times more refreshing than sleep because it helps you live in the present moment and frees you from anger of the past and worry of the future.Practices like yoga,pranayama and m e d i t a - tion not only give you physical but also mental and emotional health and this is true wealth.

    Control that rage!


    Control that rage!

    Experts tell Lisa Antao about furious outbursts and how to manage them


    Do you often get angry at people and feel like yelling at them Do you lose your temper while stuck in a traffic jam Are you so angry at times that you feel the urge to break something or hit someone Do you easily lose your cool in stressful situations If yes,then you are suffering from extreme anger.Anjali Chhabria,psychiatrist and psychotherapist,says,Anger is an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage.It is accompanied by physiological and biological changes,for e.g.when you get angry,your heart rate and blood pressure goes up,as do the levels of your energy hormones,adrenaline,and noradrenaline (a hormone that raises blood pressure,glucose levels in the blood,heart beat rate).
    Anger is a completely normal,usually healthy,human emotion.But when it gets out of control and turns destructive,it can lead to problems issues at work,in your personal relationships,and in the overall quality of your life.And it can make you feel as though youre at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion,elaborates Chhabria.

    WAYS OF EXPRESSING ANGER


    Dr Yatri Thacker,homeopathic physician and stress counsellor,says that in order to deal with anger,people use a variety of conscious and unconscious processes.The three main approaches are expressing,suppressing,and calming.Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive way (but not in an aggressive manner ) is the healthiest way to express anger.For this,one has to learn to make clear what their needs are,and how to met them without hurting others.Being assertive doesnt mean being pushy or demanding instead it means being respectful of yourself and of others.
    Unexpressed anger can lead to pathological expressions of anger,such as passive-aggressive behaviour (for e.g.getting back at people indirectly without telling them why,rather than confronting them head-on ) or a personality that seems constantly cynical and hostile.People who are constantly putting others down,criticising everything,and making cynical comments havent learned how to constructively express their anger.As a result,they arent likely to have m a ny

    success-CAUSES


    Chhabria opines that anger stems from irrational demands that one places on oneself or others.Expectations from others are probably the root cause of anger.My husband must be gentle and caring,or my girl-friend cannot keep me hanging. Every individual has a different coping capacity.In different situations one often says I cannot handle this,I cant take it anymore.Facing barriers in life reduces ones coping capacity and increases the level of frustration.Anger is a sign indicative of the fact that ones capacity for tolerance has lessened.
    Taking things personally,for e.g.if someone doesnt speak to you in a manner such that you feel that the person dislikes you,when in fact it may be that he or she is just shy or worried.Ignoring the positive,for e.g.people who get angry tend to focus their thinking on negative or bad events and ignore positive or good events.Perfectionism,for e.g.people who become angry often expect too much from themselves or those around them.

    HARMFUL EFFECTS ON HEALTH


    Dr Vimal Pahuja,consultant physician (internal medicine ),mentions the negative effects of extreme anger on physical health such as high blood p re s - s u re,wh i ch can lead to an increased risk of strokes and heart diseases,decreased concentration and attention span.The digestive system gets affected,appetite goes down,theres an increased acid formation in the stomach that can lead to gastritis and ulcers.Also most people who suffer from anger issues take up drinking and smoking too.Extreme anger can cause stress hormones to increase blood sugar levels,which is harmful for diabetics.Effects on mental health include low self-esteem,disturbed inter personal relationships and constant fighting and arguments with others.In women,extreme anger can affect menstrual cycles and menstrual cramps in women.

    QUICK TIPS TO CALM YOURSELF


    Taking deep breaths helps lowers the anger from within and has a calming effect.Make use of visual imagery.Imagine youre on a beautiful secluded beach or in a garden surrounded by beautiful,colourful and aromatic flowers.Use your imagination for whatever suits you.Keep a stress-buster toy in your bag or at your desk.Whenever you feel your temper rising,repeatedly press and release the toy in your palm.Repeat phrases like take it easy,relax,'keep it cool Sip cold water and if possible wash your face with cool water.Keep pictures of happy moments shred with family and friends.Watch these pictures to cheer up Go for a walk for a few minutes to clear your mind.

    HOW TO COPE


    Since inability to control ones anger can have severe repercussions,it should be immediately dealt with.Chhabria shares the follow ways to deal with anger: Talk out your feelings.Timeout: Leave the situation temporarily that is causing the escalation of anger or stopping the discussion that is provoking it.Practice relaxation techniques like listening to music,watching TV or reading a book.Make a list of all the other things you can do instead of behaving angrily.Excuse yourself and leave the situation for a minute,Ill be back in a minute,and return when you are calm.Reframe activity: Ask the other person why they have said something,try and understand them.Ask why do you want me to let you know when Ill be in,why do you say our section is doing less Understand and accept that the events themselves do not produce the feeling of anger,but it is ones interpretations of beliefs about the events.Stop negative thinking: Tell yourself a series of commands to stop thinking the thoughts that are getting you angry I need to stop thinking these thoughts Identify a support mechanism e.g.children,friends,pet,etc.Substitute anger with humour as it helps you see the lighter side of things in life.


    Make a list of all the other things you can do instead of behaving angrily

    Extreme anger can affect menstrual cycles in women

    WATCH YOUR TEMPER: Screaming and losing control is not advisable

    Television viewing and rise in mental problems....doctor.ndtv.com

    Television viewing and rise in mental problems

    Pediatrics,
    October 2010

    More than two hours a day spent watching television or playing computer games could put a child at greater risk for psychological problems.

    We know that physical activity is good for both physical and mental health in children and there is some evidence that screen viewing is associated with negative behaviour. However, it isn't clear whether having high physical activity levels could 'compensate' for high levels of screen viewing in children.

    Researchers studied more than 1,000 children between the ages of 10 and 11 years in the UK. Over seven days, the children filled out a questionnaire reporting how much time they spent daily in front of a television or computer and answering questions describing their mental state - including emotional, behavioral, and peer-related problems. Meanwhile, an accelerometer measured their physical activity.

    The odds of significant psychological difficulties were about 60 percent higher for children spending longer than two hours a day in front of either screen compared with kids exposed to less screen time. For children with more than two hours of both types of screen time during the day, the odds more than doubled. The effect was seen regardless of sex, age, stage of puberty, or level of educational or economic deprivation.

    Psychological problems further increased if kids fell short of an hour of moderate to rigorous daily exercise in addition to the increased screen time. However, physical activity did not appear to compensate for the psychological consequences of screen time. The researchers also found that sedentary time itself was not related to mental wellbeing.

    It is important to limit television viewing to about an hour per day, or a reduction of at least 50 percent from a kid's starting screen time. This budgeting of children's screen time has profound positive effects on their families' lives.

    Low Testosterone Linked to Alzheimer’s Risk

    Low Testosterone Linked to Alzheimer's Risk

    Study Shows Low Levels of the Male Sex Hormone May Be a Predictor of Cognitive Decline
    By Salynn Boyles
    WebMD Health News

    profile of senior man thinking

    Oct. 8, 2010 -- Low testosterone levels in older men with memory problems may signal progression to Alzheimer's disease or even increase the risk for developing age-related dementia.


     

    My dear Buffalos and cows pl. coperate as men and women can not........

    Confidential mail to all milk producing animals. Pl. fwd to them if it reaches you by mistake:
     
    Pl.note that Diwali has come. The demand for sweets and other milk products will be 100 times more then the normal time. So u will have to work over time and produce 100 times more milk so we can have more ghee, milk shakes,butter, sweets, milk chokelets, bengali sweets, rabdi etc.etc..
     
    I have been making this request to you, The hon. cows and buffelows for years but you have totally failed to comply with my requests.Why dont u undestand that now our modern house wives dont want to make sweets and snacks for diwali at home. Also pl. understand our bureacrts from FDA, weights and measuremnts,anti adultration dept, quality control dept have diwali too. They want huge bribes for another posh bunglow,foreign travel, gold purchase etc etc so then they r coxing vyapari to produce bogus mava,adultare milk and ghee etc.etc. Why dont y realise so many children, women, old and others will be falling sick,having gastro problem, infections,hyper acidity due to bad quality of mass food production and bad hygine in all these places of manufecture and bad hygine of laboureres where diwali food items r produced but packed in very attrcative boxes and sold from well decorated shops. So whatever the consequnces but sweets will be distributed/ gifted  and eaten.
     
    We have also imported hundreds of containers of sweets ( though of veru unhealthy quality) from China.It helps importers,customs officers and doctors and hospitals in becoming rich but more then that it makes China rich who wants to take over Arunachala pradesh and other areas).
     
    Pl. note that when educated man women dont understand then you as good animal should underst. I once again call upon you with folded hands to produce 100 times more milk then your daily capacity. Pl. bear with the modern diwali celebrities and house wives who can not understand and will continue to poison near and dear ones by buying and distibuting adultereted sweets and snacks. 
     
    Media will be happy to cover the sad news aftereffects of diwali and not of cautioning to avoid accidents and illness.
     
    So u see so many people benefit.
     
     
    Pl. excuse as no time for improving this mail as familyis waiting for lunch for half an hour.

    FW: [menow] FW: Healthy bowel movements







     

    To: menow@yahoogroups.com
    From: bchuriwala@msn.com
    Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2010 18:36:31 +0530
    Subject: [menow] FW: Healthy bowel movements

     
    VERY IMPORTANT AND WE IGNORE THE SAME PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

    OBSERVE -AS YOU SIT ON THE THRONE Each morning!


    Question #1: How long does it take you to have a bowel movement?
     
    Less than 60 seconds
     More than two minutes 
    Answer: Healthy bowel movements happen within seconds of sitting on the toilet. Stool should easily come out without straining, grunting, or any discomfort. It should have the consistency of toothpaste. If you have time to read a newspaper while sitting on the toilet—you probably have a problem with constipation or poor bowel health.

    Question #2: Does your stool sink immediately?
     
    Yes
     No 
    Answer: Fast sinking stool is a sign of a fiber deficiency in your diet. Healthy stool should slowly descend to the bottom of the toilet bowl. If you have a "fast sinker"—add more fiber-rich foods to your diet. These include fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.
    If your stool sticks to the sides of the toilet or leaves "streak marks"—that's a sign of excess fat in your stool. This can be caused by a poor diet or a sluggish liver.

     

    Question #3: What is the shape of your stool?
     
    Long like a banana
     Round, hard pellets
     Thin, pencil–shaped 
    Answer: Healthy stool averages about four to six inches long and shaped like a banana or a torpedo.
    Very narrow, pencil-shaped stool is a sign your colon walls are impacted or you have polyps or growth on the inside of your colon or rectum. This causes the stool to squeeze to get through. Stress can also create narrow stool.
    Hard, round, or pellet-shaped stool is a possible sign of poor liver function, lack of exercise, dehydration, or constipation.

     

    Question #4: Is your stool accompanied by foul odor?
     
    Yes
     No 
    Answer: Gas or odor is a sign of a bacterial imbalance in your intestinal flora. The "bad" bacteria release foul-smelling gases and toxins that can cramp your colon and create embarrassing odors.
    You can eliminate this odor by removing debris and encrusted feces from the walls of your intestines and restoring the balance in your intestinal flora.

     

    Question #5: What color is your stool?
     
    Yellow
     Green
     Brown
     Gray
     Black
     Bright red 
    Answer: According the Mayo Clinic research, all shades of brown and even green are considered normal stool colors. And the foods you eat can affect the color of your stool. For example, beets, tomato juice, blueberries, popsicles, and green leafy vegetables can affect your stool color. However, a distinct change in stool color can be a warning sign for health problems.
    Yellow-colored stool indicates your food is moving too quickly through your digestive tract—as in the case of diarrhea. If stool is greasy or foul-smelling, it may indicate excess fat caused by malabsorption of nutrients.
    Green-colored stool means your food isn't properly being processed through your intestines. As a result, bile isn't broken down—and gives your stool that green color. Green stool can also mean you're eating too much sugar, and not enough grains or salt.
    Gray or ashy colored stool indicates undigested fats or heavy use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs that contain aluminum hydroxide. It can also indicate a lack of bile in stool that may be caused by a bile duct obstruction or a liver problem.
    Black stool is a serious warning sign for bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract—possibly the stomach.
    Bright red stool may indicate bleeding in the lower intestinal tract—possibly the large intestine or rectum. Hemorrhoids are usually the source of the bleeding.


     

    Question #6: Do you pass gas while you're having a bowel movement
    or have you noticed air or bubbles in your stool?
     
    Yes
     No 
    Answer: Air or bubbles in stool can indicate an intestinal imbalance. Gas producing bacteria may be overgrowing and competing with the healthier flora in your gut.
    Please know this: A normal bowel movement happens within 60 seconds of sitting on the toilet. There should be no straining, pain, bleeding or foul odor accompanied with your bowel movements. And wiping afterwards should be easy and simple—using just one or two pieces of toilet paper!

      Drinking milk regularly helps shed weight

      Drinking milk regularly helps shed weight

      American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
      September 2010

       

      Drinking two glasses of milk regularly could help you shed nearly six kilograms of weight.

      The role of dairy calcium intake and serum vitamin D concentrations in weight loss is controversial though it is known that over-weight people have lower levels of serum vitamin D. Vitamin D increases calcium absorption in the bloodstream and in addition to sun exposure can be obtained from fortified milk. The recommended daily requirement of Vitamin D is 400 international units, which is found in four glasses of milk.

      To explore the association of dairy calcium intake and serum vitamin D with weight loss, researchers followed 322 overweight men and women in Israel aged 40-65 years, who were asked to follow either low-fat, low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets for two years.

      It was found that participants with the highest dairy calcium intake six months into the study (averaging about 580 mg daily- the amount in nearly two glasses of milk) lost about six kilograms at the end of the two years, compared to about 3.5 kg for those with the lowest dairy calcium intake (averaging about 150 mg, or about half of a glass). Beyond calcium, it was also found that vitamin D levels independently affected weight loss success, its level in the blood rising in those who lost more weight.

      The study suggests that both higher dairy calcium intake and increased serum vitamin D are related to greater diet-induced weight loss.
