huh???? Heart block while serious and requiring pacing isnt sad... Not like the 21 yr old with viral meningitis who dies 2 days after her wedding Or the 28 yr old who goes into ricketsial sepsis and has permanent renal and hepatic failiure along with a left sided stroke to boot! Or.... one of the umpteen things you see on a daily basis over here... Come to India(or any 3rd world country) if you wanna see where the truth really lies. User was banned for this post. | ||

I would be very sad if this happened to my family | ||

Sad stories occur in any country my friend. Within the last week, a two year old with viral meningitis (had to watch the doctor do a lumbar puncture on the poor baby.) Fatal car accident involving a young teenager. 27yo male with a heart attack. India, USA, Canada, Iraq, whatever... shit happens in every country. | ||

Hmmm... well thats wat they all say till they actually come and see for themselves... Had a bunch of Harvard Final year med students 3 mongths ago who I had to take on rounds along with me... By the end of just 1 day they all came to me and asked me how me or any of my colleagues maintained our sanity. Total abject despair is not an equitably distributed commodity, im sorry to say. Just yesterday a bunch of Kings College, London, students whom i took for rounds have decided to cancel their planned 6 month vacation so that they can stick around and comprehend the extent of work and burden of health care there is over here. So while i wont dispute the fact that sad stories occur everywhere... I do want to re-iterate they occur a lot more in the developing countries and third world than in the first world. + Show Spoiler + Sorry if i came across as condescending in my initial post. Have had a looong day...  | ||

This compared to the relative unhygenic conditions those people often live in results in a lot of complicated cases that shouldn´t have to occur speaking from a Western perspective. That´s what differs from your Indian experiences and our Western. You have to deal with it on a daily basis and there is no question that so much sad and tragic stories everyday has to do something with you. However that does not mean we can´t look upon the story of the family of this old woman as a sad one. Deciding you have to let a familymember die because you can´t afford her medical treatment has to be sad in my opinion. No matter what the circumstanses or conditions are. Both of you try to do whatever possibilities you have to provide the best care for those entrusted to you and I sincerely wan´t to thank you (and everybody else in your line of work) for that. | ||
