newspaper nightmares

have you noticed how in the recent past there have been full page ads for doctors .
there were ads for some man who claims to be a national award winning orthopaedician . then there were all these ads from a couple regarding non invasive investigations for coronary artery disease . even the hospitals are getting in on the act witness the numerous notifications for emergency services which [ perhaps only incidentally ] mention the name of the hospital .
this is in the allopathy side of medical care . the near impunity with which our traditional and other system practitioners advertise themselves is downright obscene . i mean i suppose the guarantee of - no side effects - is enticing but what about the effects in the first place .
google news reports that we will soon be taught traditional medicine as well as part of the medical curriculum .
and now for the icing . pune times interviews with doctors .
sample these quotes[ misquotes anyone ]
- " whether or not your baby will be born premature is decided mainly by the gestational age at birth , doctors have discovered . "
- " urgent need to eradicate haematology ." [i suppose this was to mean haemat diseases .]
- " one of the main symptoms of adhd is pain in the ear ." [ somehow this was the most important symptom that the reporter found after an interview with a psychiatrist ]
where do they find these people i wonder .
