DOCTOR ONLINE

The CANCER FAMILY I have tried to visit beauty parlours earlier on in life , in my mid 30s,  while I was still practising as a Family doctor to understand if a proper lymphatic massage could drain out the look of fatigue from face--the baggy under eyes, the droopy nasolabial folds, the swollen ends of the area just below the ends of eyebrows, the double chin, the squared shoulders with almost hump neck and a heavy upper half. Though my bone structure has always been heavy and strong but slowly as I lived my life in accumulated stress my body structure started leaning towards obesity and a haggard look. I wondered then if a good masseur can make the accumulated fat magically disappear with her expert hands. But I never found such lymphatic drainage treatments offered at the parlours: Back then I believed, as I had studied in college that the causes of cancer were: A GENETIC PRE-DISPOSITION CARCINOGENIC AGENTS LIKE SOME PAINTS& CHEMICALS ETC A STRESSFUL LIFESTYLE FAMILY HIS

The plague of modern productive life. Disagreeing with Ms. Shobha De. http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/politically-incorrect/dying-at-22-is-too-steep-a-price-for-being-the-best/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=TOI Right now, hundreds of over-wrought parents are undertaking pricey campus tours of various universities abroad. They believe this is their ‘duty’ since they want their kids to ‘get the best’. Is this what they mean by ‘the best’ ? We have equally good universities in India. What sort of absurd pressure is this that forces parents and students to go overseas in the hope of ‘bettering prospects’? Why not have confidence in your child’s ability to shine in India, without going through the sort of trauma Sarvshreshth suffered? Yes, we have ragging in our colleges, and no, some of our academic laurels are not as prestigious in global job markets as Ivy League degrees. So what? If you’ve got it, you will make it. Anywhere!(SHO

I don’t believe doctors are bad, i just think doctors are victims of their own foolishness. Why their profession receives flak these days where as earlier they were revered as gods is because doctors have resigned their contemplative minds to the crazy- busy- demanding lifestyle of their profession. Today, a doctor believes in the medical representative more than his own father. When there is a toothache, a newer, stronger painkiller may sound more feasible than a pithy piece of clove which an old parent suggests mainly because we are in a result driven society. And pain hinders our movements and compromises our day to day living for a while. So the patients feed this demand fopr a quick-fix remedy.Pain is an unwanted side-effect of our living. Yet, in truth, Gautama Buddha said, life is suffering. Who do we then believe—a saint or the friendly neighbourhood doctor? By avoiding any sort of suffering are we evolving into a species with zero tolerance? Somehow it   seems,

Obesity And Depression in mid-life Mid life comes in with mid-riff expansion for most of us. Why? Is there a psychological connect between weight gain and mid-life blues? Possibly yes. To "let go" is a chareteristic of most middle aged people. At this age we are confronted with reality of our puny existence, overwhelmed by our past ridiculous assumption that we are invincible and brought down to earth by an opening of the third eye vision with which we see just how pathetic our lives are. So we just 'let go'. When we let go , our posture changes to a slump, our outlook grows numb, our mood changes to a grump and our metabolic work-out is considerably reduced but proportionately our calorie intake is increased. A depressed outlook causes inactivity or addictions to mindless activities like watching TV or facebooking or habitual working on a stationary job. On the other hand, we draw comfort from food in order to excite our brain cells--ie we hog to clear the

In olden days, famous schizophrenics were Gods and God’s messengers, or God’s most sincere followers. Reading the book of genesis might lead you to believe that God is an alien. He lives somewhere far out in space, in a place called heaven . Sitting there, he one day devised a plan to create a new world. So, poof! Earth was created and with it came its inhabitants, of which man was the most favoured(indigenous) creation. Writers and philosophers who had a direct link to God consciousness, could believe themselves as God’s messengers who wrote the story of genesis and made each one of the ancient men and women believers in the concept of an Alien God who played the puppeteer to every living thing and non-living thing in the world . So Adam and Eve’s story was penned down in simple words and shows how the puppeteer set down the rules and regulations for us to follow. While the real puppeteer is only a concept, the story writer became his messenger and the de facto puppeteer who
