If You need to transport people

I can give you a train
Best

I can give you a car
Better

I can give you bullock cart
Good

But
When I give bullock cart
I need to say I am giving a bullock cart

When I give a bullock cart and say it as car
It means
I don't know what is car
I also dont know what is bullock cart

-oOo-

Health Care field has been systematically destroyed over past three decades

Why

Because we - doctors - kept quite

We kept quite and every lie by media or rubbish by others were not opposed
It sends a wrong message
Since we kept quiet

Others believed the lies

-oOo-

What will happen if we don't Clarify Regarding this Rs 7500 Ventilator or Making ICU in one day

It gives wrong impression that real worth of ventilator is only 7500

And
Doctors were buying it for 10 lakhs just because

They are not innovative enough and they were inefficient

This is the message that will go

Tomorrow

They till take the purchase order of a Medical college or GH

And
Say that
When "this company" gives a ventilator for 7500

This Hospital has bought one for 750000 because company bribed doctor

This is how all lies were spread

We kept quite
And
Public believed it

Now it is time to set things right
We understand that you guys are willing to help us
We are ready to get a low cost ventilator
But
It should be a real ventilator
Don't show a AMBU and Call that ventilator

We are eager to treat patients in Makeshift ICUs in Coaches
But
They should be real ICUs

Don't keep one IV Stand oxygen cylinder and call that as ICU
You are eager to do your part
That much we understand

But
You should also understand that such actions
Give a wrong message to the public
And
The public will come and fight in the hospitals in future if such wrong messages are not opposed right away
Tomorrow
When a Private Hospital presents ICU Bill of Rs 25000 per day

Many will say that Ventilator itself is Rs 7500 only
Why are you charging More than that

They will defame the hospital in social media
and
Also break the hospital

This is what we want to avoid
