Health and treatment

“When health goes, treatment comes.”

Perhaps it would not be any exaggeration to say that more than ninety nine persons out of hundred are treatment conscious and not health conscious. Sadly enough, they don’t know how to be health conscious. When they face some health problem, they rush to doctors for treatment purpose and not for health purpose. To be treatment conscious is the compulsion of every one of us. While healthy or in so-called good health, we pay no attention to it. While sick, we spare no efforts in terms of time and money for treatment. And we see daily, the families around us spending exorbitant amounts of money for treatments every month. And it would not be any astonishing thing if we are also one of them.

Who wants to visit a doctor or a hospital? Definitely nobody! Reason is simple that nobody wants to be sick. But just ask your friend or neighbour who the best doctor is. And he will provide you a list of doctors with his own experiences with them. This is the case with everybody. No-a-days medicine has become a necessity even more than our bread. Can you find any home where there are no medicines in refrigerator? Or the bottles from the chemist are not displayed on the shelves?

We can’t expect a doctor to impart us health. They are not trained that way. They are trained for treatments only. And that is right also. Driver himself is and should be responsible for maintaining and keeping up the welfare of the car he drives the whole day. Mechanics are for repair only. And mostly mechanic is concerned more with your pocket and with your frequent visits rather than with your car. And more the repairs are, worse will be the condition and less will be the value and life of your car, yet enriching the mechanic.
