Sometimes in life,one tends to stumble upon situations that make you feel helpless even when you are yearning to help.
This story is about a doctor.I shall not say who or where.You tell me what you think.
There was a doctor in a small town.Patients were always queuing up outside his door.They claimed that their diseases seemed to get cured immediately on taking his treatment.They knew he was expensive but were ready to spend because the remedy never failed.A gifted doctor?Its for you to decide.
My husband and I were curious to know what drugs this particular doctor gives and makes everyone up & about so fast.These are a few instances we came across.When patients went with complaints of high fever,he gave them a high dose of iv steroids and brought down their temperature immediately.Then why shouldn't the innocent patients sing songs of praises?A simple 1st degree burns of only anterior aspect of 1 forearm,by plain boiling water was prescribed IV 3rd generation cephalosporins and IV Amikacin for a single day.A lady with diagnosed chronic allergic upper airway disease with occasional allergic bronchitis,with no history of fever was immediately prescribed IV Cefaperazone,IV Sulbactam,IV Amikacin,IV Deriphyllin,IV Avil.
The thing which irked me most was the trust these patients had in this doctor.If you advised them to go to another well known doctor in the locality,they were reluctant because they feel they will not get cured as fast as with this fellow.
Well it does not seem that right to me.If someone can tell me what the rationale was for the above treatment then I'm ready to listen.Do give me your views.

Chanced upon your blog today....
I liked the embroidery bit you've done.
But this post on unscrupulous doctors getting away with their deceit, and what's more getting unwavering devotion from the unsuspecting masses surely deserved some praise.
I know of people who evaluate a doctor's caliber based on the number of medicines prescribed. You go through the prescription and realize that there are at least two vitamins and a pain killer in that long list.
The sad thing is they wreck havoc on those who do have a conscience.
Thank you so much Maxim!
I always wondered why no one commented on this particular post though many of my friends are doctors.Yes what you have mentioned is absolutely correct.Vitamins are painkillers are the least of the problems though because the super strong antibiotics and stuff can cause severe drug resistance in the future and cause quite a bit of harm.
