A4 Giota Detsi April 24 foodenthousiast Yes, we do but in a different way from the Asian peoples: Rice is scarcely the protagonist in Greek dishes and there are reasonsfor this!

If you observe there are two visible partners here-Doctor and medicine shop owner, butthere is one invisiblepartner-Local pharma company (in maximum cases). Suppose there is a doctor who works somewhere and is having some offday/free time in evening and thus wants to do practise. As it is bit tough tofind patients for a limited amount of time/certain day in a city, so bestoption is to practise at aplace where there is scarcity of doctors.

Medical stores are present ineach and every nook and corner of country and generally they keep extraspace/chamber where doctor can sit, so the mediator work is done by pharma company .

Generally such stores are chosen far from main city, in bitinteriors where there are no doctors(about 40–50 km from main city).Medicinestores have generally no issues as it will give them extra income. So, stage is set. The medicine store owner will put the board of doctors name, will advertise through phamplets in local newspaper or in auto rickshaw. The doctor will come on the specified date /time and see the patients. Remember one thing ,doctor have”not to pay any rent” to the medicine store owner for using his chamber. Pharma company will bear the costof transportation, accomodation (if required) and food of doctor for whichdoctor will write medicines from that particular company only. So, see the model-medicine store owner is happy as medicines will be soldand he will get consolidated customers in one go (as in 99% of cases a personwill buy medicine from that store only where doctor is sitting),doctor is happyas he will be getting his consultation fee and his free day will be utilisedand pharma company is also happy as the medicines of their company are beingsold.

A8 Anshu Bharti Mon IncidentManager (2020–present) Learn to accept life however itcomes. It will become easy. Years ago, I was travelling with my brother in law by train. We didn'tget the reservation, sowe got on a local train. I am not used to the crowd(even not my brother in law) and also, was quite uncomfortable in that train as it stopped at every small station. The threehours journey seemed too long. I was being restless. On the other hand, my brother in law was cool, fullyoccupied with reading the newspaper. This irked me more. When I shared my frustration with him, he smiled and told me to take this journey as anopportunity to have a good, long sleep. And to my surprise, after a few minutes, he dozed off. Throughout thejourney, he was either sleeping or reading the newspaper. That day, I realized life is tough but we make it tougher by notaccepting it. We overthink,panic and feel dismayed.

A9 Krishna Suryakanth MonHavean experience of 30 years I used to sit next to a security guard of an ICU in a popular hospital. Why? My father was seriously ill and was admitted to ICU, where he stayedfor more than a month. Like I said in previous answers, I observe people and it has now become ahabit. Normally, we know that body language and attitude of people belonging todifferent class is different. However, In front of ICU, thestory is different. A lady wearing nearly half kg gold was weeping and rushing towards ICUalong with a few people and a young man on the strecher. I felt a function wasgoing on and something unfortunate happened to the son of the lady. Or else who wears half kg goldand comes to hospital? There was other case, where 30 to 40 people were standing outside ICU,most of them were wearing white and white clothes and were enquiring doctors. I felt a powerful politican isadmitted to the ICU. Also, I saw poor people, who could afford ICU only because of BPL rationcard and I could affordICU because my father had insurance. There was no difference between me, the rich lady, the white and whitepeople and the people below poverty line. All of them were helpless. Money, power,popularity and pretty much everything was meaningless in front of ICU. We amwere waiting for our loved ones to come out of danger. We all were same. Next time when someone says, I never bow down in front of anything oranyone, bring him to ICU. I saw everyone bowing down in front of ICU.Money is not a solution foreverything.
