Why   doctors  in  India  do  not  plan  for  their  retirement ? Genetic Code As  Indians  we  are  genetically  programmed  to  save  money  for children’s  education  and  marriage, a  house  maybe  and  those  exceptionally  gifted  with  super intelligence  take  a  health  insurance  too. Whatever   we save   and   invest   is  keeping  these  targets  in  mind. Social security  including earning  money  after  retirement  is  a  thought  which  does  not  cross  our  minds. Our  bollywood  movies  have  assured  us  that  in  the  old  age  we  will  be  taken  care  of  by  the  sons...

Blatant frauds, myths, superstitions, and misconceptions prevail, promoted by all kinds of qualified and unqualified “doctors”.

Multi colored IV fluids  with  different  c...
