Sharing an article... very important for all to read and understand

IQ, EQ, SQ, AQ
....According to psychologists, there are four types of intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your comprehension ability", solve maths; memorize things and recall subject matters.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ):
This is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go farther in life than those with high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize in improving IQ level while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your character; your SQ represents your charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs but more especially your EQ and SQ.

EQ and SQ make one manage better than the other.

Pls don't teach children only to have higher IQ , but also to have higher EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one :
A new paradigm

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ):
The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out without losing your mind.
AQ determines who will give up in face of troubles and may abandon their families.
In the current context of Corona, many professionally successful people are going thru bouts of Depression. Because they haven't seen and thus are unprepared for Adversity.

To parents:
Expose children to other areas of life than academic. They should adore manual work, sport and art .

Develop their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of the parents.

*Finally, do not prepare the road for the children. Prepare the children for the road.*

How to Choose a Pediatrician

Your baby's doctor will make sure your child is developing normally and give you advice on his or her care. It is important that you select a doctor you communicate well with and trust. If you or your spouse is pregnant, you can find a pediatrician before your baby is born so you have someone in place immediately after the birth. When you choose a pediatrician you are setting up a long-term professional relationship, and you should make sure the doctor's office, staff, personality, and care philosophy fit well with your preferences.

Gathering a List of Pediatricians

1 Check with your insurance/ tie up organisations . You can call your company to find out what doctors are in your network. You can also usually find this information by logging on to your company's website. You can then print off a list of pediatricians in your area.

2 Fish for references. People in your social circle will already know good pediatricians. Ask around to see if anyone has a recommendation. You can ask in person or use social media to reach a wider audience.

3 Ask your friends and family questions. It's helpful to get an idea of what the doctor is like before doing more research. Therefore, when you get a recommendation, try to ask a few follow-up questions. >For instance, you could ask how that person's child responds to the doctor. You could also check how available the doctor is for questions. Another question you can ask is whether the doctor provides a satisfactory amount of information about growth and development or treatment protocols etc. Ask the person to approximate how much time the doctor spends with your child, as well. The actual number doesn't matter. What's more important is if the parent feels like the time frame was enough for the problem at hand.

4 Decide on what criteria matter to you. For instance, you may prefer a male doctor to a female doctor or vice versa. You may prefer an older, more experienced pediatrician, or you might rather have someone who's young with new ideas. Decide what's most important to you.

6 Another important criterion is how fast you can get in to see the doctor, especially if your child has an immediate need. Weekend and nighttime hours might also be important to you, or they may not.

7 You may also consider location important, as well as the size of the practice. A large practice may offer more opportunities to get your child in, for instance, even if it's not with your regular pediatrician.

8 Another criteria to consider is the doctor's specialty. Some doctors specialize in newborns, while others specialize in older children, for instance, so consider the age of your child.

9 Make a list of criteria. Once you've decided on what criteria matter to you, make a list of those criteria. Start with the most important at the top, then list them in descending importance. Write out a question you can ask the doctor's office or the doctor for each criteria.

10 For instance, if you want to know about office hours, you could write "What are your office hours?"It can be helpful to type up this list, then you can print it out for each doctor and take notes.

Interviewing Pediatricians - not routinely done in our working set up..infact, there are all the chances that you will be denied from most of the clinics !! Here are few tips regarding that..

1 Do your research first. Many offices have much of their information listed on their websites. For instance, office hours should be listed on the website. You should also be able to find information about the doctor's educational background. Take notes on what you find, and note what information you can't find.If you have special needs related to communication, check to see if the office has ways to help, such as interpreters or multilingual staff.The websites of some practices will even offer photos and videos the pediatricians so that potential patients can get a feel for their personality and style.

2 Call the pediatricians.
Contact the office of each doctor to ask a few initial questions about the doctor. What questions you ask exactly depends on what you expect from a pediatrician, but in general, you should ask about the doctor's educational background and experience, as well as what usually happens when you bring your child to that office.

11 Also ask about any criteria that are especially important to you. For instance, don't forget to ask about office hours and the doctor's specialties. You should also ask what hospitals the doctor is able to admit patients to.

12 Another important question to ask is how care is coordinated when your child needs to be referred to a specialist.

13 Don't forget to take notes for each doctor's office you call. Because, after some time you are going to forget..

14 you start with one pediatrician, there may be posdibilities of some uncomfortable communications. Never hesitate to make a change in genuine situation. At the same time make sure - avoid taking decisions in emotionally unstable and over reactioning conditions - in short avoid medical shooping !!

another useful thing that we provide, is ' day care'. here, when the patient is not requiring full day & night hospitalization, they are spared from spending full charges, they can manage their other work/ home in much better way, they don't have to create more human resources to run their show. for example, any patient, requiring intravenous chemo therapy, they can avail this facility and get the treatment in less than a half charges.
