Why Dr. PrevenShun ?

A TRUE STORY but One Sentence at a Time.

(Your Answer to WHY Prevention, is in the Story so Read it thoughtfully till the End!)

– ‘Once, I had to go to a Hospital unplanned.’

Now, because it’s the 21st Century, many of you would think I must have had an appointment with a Doctor or a few Lab tests to be done! I would assume that too if I was you & if I was not a Doctor! However, it was not the case.

Note: The Story Continues 1 Sentence at a Time.

– ‘It was a Saturday Morning, I was about to perform my Pooja (daily religious ritual) when I got a call from a friend saying a Doctor (whom he’s usually in touch with) was out of town & so if I could be urgently there at the Hospital in an hour or two ?’

Once again, because it’s the 21st Century, many of you would think – He must have had an Emergency (for himself or someone known) for which he contacted me & asked me to be there for any Medical Assistance. As an Emergency Physician, I often get calls like that. However, it was not the case.

Note: The Story Goes Further.

– ‘A Group of Doctors (a Gastro-Surgeon, Spine Surgeon, Onco-Surgeon, Dental Surgeon, and a Psychiatrist who by the way, were also the Hosts for the day) had asked my friend (who by the way is a Medical Marketer) sometime back if our mutual (my friend & mine) Guruji could visit their New Multi-Specialty (Medical, Dental & Surgical) Hospital, grace the premises with His esteemed presence & bless them for their new venture !’

So you see, what the core situation today is like ! Definitely, worth introspecting about.

Reading the 1st & 2nd sentences of the Story must have made you imagine only about the negative perspective of it. That, ‘going to a Hospital’ inadvertently means ‘Sickness’ & ‘Emergency’, should necessarily mean a ‘Medical one’.

So, is it that only the media & news agencies are to be blamed for being pessimistic or alongside their coverage, broadcast & prints, our so called “modern minds” have also become so ?

More than anything else, I believe somewhere deep within our conscience, we know how poor & pitiful our diet & lifestyles are! So much so that if any day, we are detected with a major disease – a Heart attack, a Stroke or a Medical / Surgical Emergency, it wouldn’t come to us as a shock ! As much impulsive & ignorant our living is these days, we don’t have much choice but to embrace whichever disease (we have been inviting) that comes our way & live with it for the rest of our life.

Now, as we all know, it’s the 21st Century and you may have heard, seen, or read ill about the Doctors & the overall Health-care sector becoming more and more commercialized, money-making & inhuman with the passage of time; I’d like to tell you from my experiences that not all of it is true. The bad information is at times blown out of proportion & is overrated while the good or rather some great news many a times remain under-covered, under-rated & unpublished. All in all, while the ‘Tail’ like info is ‘Targeted’, the ‘Heart’ touching stories ‘Fail’ to make it to the ‘Head’lines.

Eventually, our Busy & Reckless ‘Rat Races’ somewhere tend to get wrapped up in between the ‘Targets’ & the ‘Deadlines’; deceiving & failing us to realize that even our health & lives are at stake!

However, coming back to the story, the day was going on great, full of surprises.

Once again, I got to meet a Team of Young, Dynamic & Ambitious Doctors who were not just Well Qualified & Well Mannered but also Excellent at their Work & the most important & a credential part of their Practice were the ‘Ethics’, they lived by.

We were truly delighted to meet them all, I mean who wouldn’t be!

NOW THE ‘MUCH AWAITED’ CLIMAX –

While having a personal conversation with the Gastro-Surgeon in his cabin, he inquired, “How’s your Startup going on?”
I said, “It’s going well by God’s grace.”

“What is it actually about ?” Curiously, he questioned further.

I counter-questioned him, “If I may ask you this – Being a Surgeon, having far better insights of the rampantly proliferating diseases & a sound knowledge of the Human Body, can you guarantee that in this lifetime, you’ll never develop any chronic diseases & will never have to take daily medications? That, you’ll never have to undergo any minor procedure or a major operation ?”

“No. I Can’t !” He replied with a surety in his tone that echoed the hopelessness of the so called ‘hi-fi & modern city lives’ of all of us.

“If being a Surgeon, you cannot give a guarantee of your own health in the future, how can people (even more careless these days than the innocent children) be able to make it through ! It’s time, someone of the medical realm starts providing hand-holding support & teaching people a conscious way of living. I believe it’s a wise way the TBs & TBs of information could be turned into at least a few GBs of implementation. Having said that, we propose and intend to propagate – “Prevention be given more of a Priority than Cure.  In fact, you’ll agree with me that Prevention is not just better but a lot cheaper than cure.
That’s why – Dr. PrevenShun. “
