MENTAL PATIENTS We just ignore them.
In every family I know of, there is at least one who is not normal.
If one who has done M.
Sc.
or Engineering and is not doing any work or at least trying for a job, is he normal? The recognized patients in mental hospitals are are countless.
We hear of multispecialty hospitals with all modern gadgets.
I have not heard of one for mental patients.
"12 inmates died in December at overcrowded home for mentally challenged..
..
at Rohini-based Asha Kiran home for mentally challenged persons, run by the Delhi government.
" (from the Indian Express) We are paranoid.
We spend all money on war machine.
Nothing left for any useful purpose like food, education or lunatic asylums.
DIAGNOSIS A patient was admitted to a leading hospital at Trichur, with serious asthmatic conditions.
He was kept in I.
C.
U.
FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN HIS CONDITION.
The doctors then advised the family to take him home, to die a peaceful death, as he is past seventy five and his lungs damaged more than ninety percent.
This was one year ago.
Today, he is still alive and comparatively better off.
The reasons are simple, to my mind.
This man is a chain smoker.
He suffers from asthma.
In the present circumstances, he is laid up, unable to move.
Naturally, he stopped smoking and that saved the remaining part of his lungs, sufficient to keep him alive! In his book POWER HEALING, Dr.
Leo Galland speaks of the DEATH OF THE PATIENT.
He says that in modern hospitals, doctors do not see the patient.
They only study his chart.
His method is, not only to study the person, but also to learn about his history, which may throw some light about his ailment.
The book has not received the publicity it deserves.
