Exodus of doctors from NEIGRIHMS https://thepurbottar.in/exodus-of-doctors-from-neigrihms/ https://thepurbottar.in/exodus-of-doctors-from-neigrihms/#respond Mon, 26 Feb 2024 05:03:00 +0000 https://thepurbottar.in/?p=47855 Recently opposition leader, Ronnie V Lyngdoh on Sunday expressed grave concern over the exodus of doctors from NEIGRIHMS and called upon the state government to […]

Recently opposition leader, Ronnie V Lyngdoh on Sunday expressed grave concern over the exodus of doctors from NEIGRIHMS and called upon the state government to provide better perks and facilities to the doctors serving in the super-specialty hospital. Actually Lyngdoh told The Shillong Times that recently, a doctor quit the institute to join a private hospital. He also pointed out that the state government should prevail upon the central government to declare NEIGRIHMS as an institute of national importance.

This is actually bad news as doctors are leaving NEIGRIHMS and creating problems to the hospital. Today health is very important for everyone and it is needed to be taken very seriously. In fact state government need to take right step so that the hospital works properly and patient gets the right treatment. Actually for poor and middle class people government hospital is very important as they get right facility from there. In reality we should give importance to the government hospital so that everyone gets right facility for their health.

Lucknow student preparing for Board exams lands up on hospital bed due to ‘anti-sleep’ pill overdose https://thepurbottar.in/lucknow-student-preparing-for-board-exams-lands-up-on-hospital-bed-due-to-anti-sleep-pill-overdose/ https://thepurbottar.in/lucknow-student-preparing-for-board-exams-lands-up-on-hospital-bed-due-to-anti-sleep-pill-overdose/#respond Wed, 21 Feb 2024 16:08:04 +0000 https://thepurbottar.in/?p=47703 A Class 10 student from Lucknow, Prajakta Swarup had gone under a major brain surgery due to a clot that led to damage of nerves, […]

]]>
A Class 10 student from Lucknow, Prajakta Swarup had gone under a major brain surgery due to a clot that led to damage of nerves, last week. The reason behind this was intake of excessive sleeping pills along with steaming cups of coffee.

Prajakta had been staying up all night preparing for her board examinations.

Prajakta collapsed one evening and was hospitalised. Her parents later found a bottleful of pills in her drawer and when they handed them over to the doctor, they were shocked to know that their daughter had been on anti-sleep pills.

“Shocking though it may sound, an increasing number of students, today, are taking these anti-sleep pills that help them stay awake during examinations. This is a very dangerous trend and the drugs are being smuggled in from countries like Bangkok. These drugs can have dangerous side effects, especially if taken with an overdose of caffeine — too many cups of coffee — as it happened in Prajakta’s case,” said a leading neurosurgeon Dr Sharad Srivastava.

“These are variants of Modafinil that is said to improve memory, and enhance one’s mood, alertness and cognitive powers. The drug has a smoother feel than amphetamines and enables the user to stay awake and alert for 40 hours or more at a stretch. Once the drug wears off, you just have to catch up on some sleep,” said another medical practitioner who did not wish to be named.

A chemist, Surinder Kohli, accepted the fact that the sale of anti-sleep pills, memory enhancers has increased up for the past one month.

“Customers are ready to pay any amount for these drugs. They also buy energy drinks to ward off fatigue,” he said but parried questions about the legality of over-the-counter selling of these drugs.

A senior police official made a shocking revelation when he said, “It is terrorists who are now using these anti-sleep drugs to stay awake during combat hours. It was first found during the 26/11 attacks that the terrorists carried drugs in the backpacks. Most of us do not know details about these drugs and there have been no complaints so far from the common people, so no action has been taken.”

Dr R K Saxena, a well-known psychiatrist, said that the rising issue of students taking anti-sleep pills during examinations was mainly a result of growing stress and peer pressure.

“There is immense pressure on children to score high percentages so that they can get admissions in good colleges. The children are berated if they get even half a per cent less than their friends. The pressure to score 98 and 99 per cent in board examinations is slowly killing them. Parents should accept the fact that such high percentages can be unrealistic and not every child can score these marks,” he said.

Dr Saxena highlighted the raising concern in today’s world, parental guidance is almost non-existent, especially in cases where both the parents were working.

“Parents do not have the time to watch changes in their child’s behaviour and counsel her or understand the pressure that he feels. The child is left on his own and starts taking these drugs on the recommendation of friends,” he said.

Prajakta’s parents now understood that they did not felt the kind of pressure their daughter was living with. “She kept telling us that she wanted high scores in examinations so that she could get admission in a good college in Delhi because that is where her friends would be going,” her father said.

Meanwhile, teachers blame the parents as well as students for not studying a consistent study pattern.

Pushpa D’Souza, a retired teacher from an English medium girls’ school, said, “Students do not study all year through. They bunk classes and the parents remain blissfully unaware. If the parents monitor their children’s study pattern throughout the year, the examination tension will ease to a considerable extent.

Suniti, who is Prajakta’s classmate, said rather indignantly, “It is the parents who keep reprimanding us and pushing us to get top scores. They compare us with their friends’ children and tell us that we are good for nothing. What else can we do in such a situation?”

Actress Kangana Ranaut has come in support of Smriti Irani’s ‘Menstruation Not Handicap’ Remark: Minister of Women and Child Development of India Smriti Irani said on Wednesday that menstruation(biological cycle) should not get a specific law for ‘paid leave’ for women.

The remarks by Minister of Women and Child Development sparked several reactions on social media. On Thursday, actress Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram account and whole heartedly supported the minister’s statement.

Ranaut added to her IG Story, “Working women are a myth, there has not been a single non-working woman in the history of mankind. From farming to house chores to raising kids, women have always been working and nothing has come in the way of their commitment to their families or community or nation. Unless it is some specific medical condition, women don’t need paid leave for periods, please understand, it is periods, not some illness or handicap.”

Kangana’s statement comes at a time when Smriti’s remark on the issue has already raised war of discussions on social media. A mixed(men and women) group of people are divided in their opinion. One perspective says that granting menstrual leaves to women might effect negatively the concept of maintaining equality between genders in the workplace. While the other group of people, believes that this provision is not a special privilege but a fundamental requirement, similar to getting maternity leaves, ensuring a balanced and just approach to women’s well-being in professional settings.

While speaking in Rajya Sabha-the upper house, Smriti Irani had told, “As a menstruating woman, menstruation and the menstruation cycle is not a handicap, it’s a natural part of women’s life journey…We should not propose issues where women are denied equal opportunities just because somebody who does not menstruate has a particular viewpoint towards menstruation.”

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has passed the approval of the world’s first chikungunya vaccine Ixchiq. Only the individuals of 18 years or above who are at increased risk of exposure to mosquito-borne virus will be vaccinated.

Chikungunya is a disease caused by a virus CHIKV that is spread on by infected mosquitoes. The disease is more common in tropical and subtropical climates and the region where it has higher impact is Africa, Asia and the Americas. 

The approval of vaccine in the United States is likely to boost the speed of the vaccine’s rollout in the countries where the disease is a public health issue. This is the important advancement in the prevention of a potentially debilitating disease with limited treatment options.
