HOME-CARE is launched for patients who cannot STAND, COMMUTE, ARE COMPLETELY SUCCUMBED TO BEDRIDDEN CONDITIONS and so on. With the growing mentality of populations wanting to stay at home, Healthcare has deteriorated its virtues. Nowadays, people prefer being served at home for every other health issues. Taking for example, Radiology or investigations. The sample taken is at risk, wastage coming from procedures increases, harming the mother Earth, inaccuracy demand increases. Now we can say that this much is even consumable. And what about other departments, for instance physiotherapy. Now the role of Physiotherapists is to make the patient more capable, independent, fit and able to do Activities of Daily Living without any problems. For helping someone to do something productive one has to bring the person in a productive atmosphere. A therapist can never teach a patient to climb stairs without actually asking him to come to the staircase. A very small sarcastic example. In addition, Therapists send students or even non-therapist staffs to deal with the cases in order to save time, energy and earn more.
I call it a "suicidal attempt" done by patients. The trend has become so common that people don't even realize their mistake.
I will tell you an incident. Today evening in park, I was taking my regular walks. On the way I heard ladies talking about their pains. I wish to share what one bright lady spoke about it. She said that she tried everything but was not at rescue until she started her daily walks. My dear people, patients everyone, body is a machine. One cannot grease it without making it work. So for achieving Activity, Inactivity is not at all advisable. Body greasing can only be done by movement. And if one goes that extra mile by moving to the clinic, hospital or rehab centres, its an advantage. You will be overcoming "suicidal attempts" by doing that.
That's all folks. Hope I have communicated my point.
