Everyday there is the latest government
research that says "too much sugar, butter, fresh air, water, alcohol,
breathing is bad for you so I suppose we are becoming a nation that is made
very conscious of health issues.
RESPONSE: Too much freshair, water......breathing is bad for you???
. People here go into
hospital for minor operations and die of an MRSI (infection due to lack of hygiene) so I want to avoid hopsitals at all costs.
RESPONSE; There have been cases of people dying of infections, caught while in hospital.
Could some UK based Goans please clarify to me if UK hospitals: 1) Refuse to treat smokers? 2) Refuse to operate on overweight patients? 3) Are unhygienic?
I visited the hospital today as a friend is in awaiting a heart operation. I saw smokers smoking in the smoking room, I also saw quite a few overweight patients ( some grossly), unhgienic? I guess not as good a Jaslok in Mumbai but certainly a lot better than Goa Medical College in Goa.
I always thought that the UK people who came to India for their operation
came here because it was much cheaper and faster only. Now it appears there
are other reasons.
