Marshall, we do not need to support our case on the number of psychiatric
cases in USA and Canada. All we need to do is measure the Goan prosperity
after transition from farming to white collar and foreign jobs.
Goa has now been declared the diabetes capital of India. We have doctors and
clinics flourishing at every nook and corner of the State. Even our
government hospitals are now being turned into private super speciality
hospitals. The pharmaceutical campanies are thriving. It is not uncommon to
find a Goan with a by-pass or stent or pace maker. Leave aside the
cholestrol affected Goan trying to desperately fight the condition by
spending thousands in the gym. Farming brings you poverty but economic
prosperity brings even the cardio-vascular surgeon to your doorstep, leave
aside the bank manager from the neighbouring State.
