Health Disorders - Ignorance or Negligence

Health is wealth; if there is health we can do anything, anytime and anywhere. But, we people ignore and Neglect small things and don’t give notice to them unless and until we have bigger problems. It’s so obvious in us that even we know it might result in bigger issues we neglect as much as possible.

As, being a doctor myself I come across such cases all the time, 8 out of 10 cases which present in our department are result of such ignorance and negligence. People visit us with complain of chest pain mostly with symptoms of burning sensation in chest with food consumption or without food. They come after months of such presentation unless it becomes severe in nature from once in month to everyday. We think that it’s just few times we are having such problem and don’t need attention or visit doctor. It’s obvious, as in our mind we feel that visiting a doctor will result in various tests and medicines, which we don’t want to take. But, just think if we could visit on time we can prevent so many complications which may result from such cases. Simple burning sensation may result in ulcer, and ulcer may either burst or spread throughout the abdomen or may become cancer in some cases. Saving time from going doctor and avoiding taking one medicine makes us to get admitted to hospital and have to take several medicines at once.

It is not that every symptom may be harmful or present later as problematic; but it’s better to get prevented from such problems on time. “Prevention is better than cure” either stop smoking to prevent so many cancers or other diseases or avoid smoking after it causes some problem. Doctors can only give advice but it’s up to whether to follow them or not.

Save yourself and your surrounding and doctor before it’s too late. Avoid negligence or ignoring, ‘’Act early’’.
