We are living in very difficult times where almost every difficulty has been commercialised. Starvation, transportation, dullness, illnesses among other human sufferings have all been commercialized. The saying that some occupations are a calling is no longer applicable in today’s world.
Most parents are now forcing their children to pursue specific professional courses such as medicine because they offer high paying opportunities later on in life. My appeal to anyone reading this article is to try as much as possible to avoid situations that cause serious injuries or letting diseases take you down until you are unable to wake up on your own. Try and do everything possible to remain standing because if you fall really sick or get seriously injured and you happen to be very poorly resourced financially then you are doomed.
A healthy person is of no use to some Doctors as there is no money that they can get out of him .A useful person to some medical people is a very sick one or a seriously injured one because he is compelled by his predicament to pay up or die .I know some medical people out there will say now hear what this oldman is saying. Truth is I am saying what I know and quite a number of readers do agree with me. These shenanigans are not only happening in the medical field but are happening all over the place including education and many other sectors as I have already mentioned.
Today’s hectic and financially demanding life is not conducive for anyone to take their professions as a calling because the daily demands affect even the most humble. Some people have died at inefficient Doctors and nurse’s surgeries because they were a good source of ready cash hence they remained stuck at the inefficient Doctors or nurse’s until they died. The inefficient medical person could not afford to release the rich patient for further attention elsewhere for fear of losing money. The next time you fall ill you should try to ask others where to get the best treatment from. There are some very good Doctors and nurses who can do good job out there and there are some who want your money more than your health. These will admit you even if you’re seconds from death and they’ll get your money over your dead body.
There are several ways one can stay healthy and some of these have been mentioned in my previous articles. My articles seem to be more inclined to HIV and AIDS but they are for everyone’s consumption. Among some of the ways to remain healthy are maintaining a healthy traditional food diet. A lot of very ill people especially the wealthy have now been referred to a traditional food diet after damaging their health on modern junk food. If you go through many food beverage advertisements you’ll never see where traditional foods are advertised and the reason is there for everyone to see.
Exercise is a key component of good health and everyone should try to do a few exercises every day no matter one’s age. God deliberately created work so that our bodies would be kept in trim healthy form. The dances especially the traditional ones are forms of exercise as they make us jump, gyrate and so on. Everyone should make it their business to make sure they remain as healthy as possible.
Next week I shall be looking at the damage that has been caused by traditional, spiritual and other healers on the medical landscape.
