MURDER OF MEDICINE

The murder and r**e of a resident doctor at RG Kar hospital Kolkata is nothing less than the murder of medicine. I wonder if we are back to barbaric times! The atrocities on doctors at the drop of a hat for no fault of them is appalling. This is going on for sometime discouraging every medical professional. Doctors now doesn't want their children to choose medicine as a career! Protection of the doctors should be utmost priority of the government. Strict legislation and implementation along with rapid pronouncement of justice and its ex*****on is the need of the hour! The successive governments have miserable failed at this. For the medical professionals to work fearlessly... the government, its supported goons should be kept out of purview. The government medical institutes are no more what it used to be in the yesteryears! Deterioration of the medical education is on a rollercoaster. Most good doctors are moving to private sector. Ultimately the s**t is left with government colleges excepting a few who can be counted on finger tips. Lack of adequate staff, poor quality teachers and obnoxious number of students intake without giving a thought to the quality of end product... spiraling into production of poor quality medical graduates. Its hightime government should privatize all the medical colleges, insuring every citizen and set regulations for good quality medical care. One of aspects where successive governments miserably failed! Clarion call to all my brethren... this is the best time to fix the malady. Wake up! Be united and fight for your rightful place and dignity! For that politics and should be kept away from this noble profession. Stand united for 1 week and that will bring down the government on its knees. Let's bring back the golden era of our medical profession! Jai Hind 🙏

Gallbladder polyps are tiny meat balls arising from the inner surface of the gallbladder. People confuse it with gallbladder stones. Most of the time they are found incidentally. Very rarely they can turn into a cancer. Regular follow up with ultrasound scan is mandatory. Any change in characteristics, rapid growth or when the polyp is 1cm or more, the gallbladder should be removed. Consult your doctor for appropriate advice.
