medical care

It fells out that I am the doctor by training. But I have never worked in our health care system too long. Frankly speaking I dislike it. I have my own emphatic opinion that medicine must be: firstly - preventive, secondly - emergency. Unfortunately preventive medicine doesn’t work in our country. And emergency one will not reach our settlement. So it goes. But I’d like to write about it in details:

Firstly, preventive measures are the stuff that mostly depends on the persons themselves - you need to take care about your health, eat good food, be physically active and keep going the activity of your brain. This is the base. It’s amazing, when a guy comes to the policlinic and declares: “I know you have your salaries to be raised, so you must make me healthy! Give me the magic pill that rescues me from all my diseases”. And with all this going on all his life this person lives an unhealthy lifestyle, drinks the alcohol, smokes and last 20 years spends evenings in front of the TV-set. And here you are: “make me healthy!”

The health depends on many factors, but the person can take the responsibility for the most of them. It is reliable. You can’t say then that all your diseases exist because the doctors don’t treat you. Now we have a lot of various systems of health recovery and support. If we speak about my example, I am fond of articulation’s gymnastics by Norbekov, respiratory gymnastics by Strelnikova, the complex “Eye of Revelation”. I like tempering procedures. But again this is a very serious choice…which should be done exceptionally by us.

Secondly - about emergency medicine. Without doubts we live far from some medical institutions, and if, God forbid, something dangerous for life happens we will be in troubles. This is a fact. But we make efforts to take it into account and prepare ourselves in accordance with it. We always have well supplied first aid kit at hand, the telephone number list of familiar doctors of variable specialty, we can always ask them about the pieces of advice if it is required. I always try to refresh my memory about some emergency aid knowledge of various types. I hope I will never use these knowledge.

Every person and especially that one who lives far from civilization must have clear idea about first emergency aid. Often, the outcome of many problems depends on how was the first aid on pre-hospital step provided - right or wrong. So I strongly recommend the books about emergency aid to everyone.
