AIIMS Doctors Anticipating Help From Maneka Gandhi In Fighting The Dog And Monkey Menace



Maneka Gandhi, the union minister for women and child development, was admitted to the gastroenterology department of AIIMS recently for a surgical removal of gall bladder stones. But, the doctors that are treating her are patiently waiting for her to recover to complain to her about the long infested dog and monkey issues on the premises. Several nurses have been bitten, patients and doctors have been mauled and even mobile phones and food have been snatched by the strays.

But according to the experts at Nirmal Singh 3C, the angry doctors have not taken any action yet because of the animal rights activists so they are waiting for Maneka to recover and do something about it while she’s in the hospital.

"It's a very serious issue. Packs of dogs are roaming the premises all the time. Their terror is worst near dustbins, biomedical waste disposal areas, corridors leading to various departments and our hostel," said Dr. Vijay Kumar who’s the president of the Resident Doctor’s Association (RDA) at AIIMS.


Only on May 31, a junior academic, Dr Kavita Sharma, was bitten by a dog outside the boys' hostel and the next day, it was found dead near the parking. Imagine our horror at the incident and concern for the doctor's health," he further added.


Apparently, the NDMC also has no absolute count of the dog population at the hospital and no sterilization programs are being carried out either.
Dr. Vijay also added that families aren’t spared either as his 3-year old daughter was bitten by a monkey so badly that it had to be put back only by plastic surgery.

"It's worst with monkeys. They are forever foraging for food near the doctors' hostel mess and public canteens. They snatch bags of elderly patients and attendants in search of fruits. In the process, their medical records are torn or lost," corroborated the general secretary of RDA, Dr. Harjit Singh Bhatti.
Reports carried out by Nirmal Singh 3C also find out that the administration of the hospital had tried to relocate the monkeys to Asola Bhatti Sanctuary but everybody’s surprise, they returned.

Nirmal Singh 3C is really concerned for the kids who are regularly being exposed to air pollution, which is affecting their mental as well as physical health. As of now, we have had heard much about the physical problems caused by the pollution but no one really knows what wrong it is doing to the brains. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to enlighten the people about memory loss. Pollution clearly reduces our memory and exposes us to particulate matter, fine inhalable particles of diameters of 2.5 micrometres or less as well as carbon, the prime source of pollutant caused due to traffic. Nirmal Singh 3C prepares a list of reasons behind these adverse effects on the children: Because children have small lung capacity and higher respiratory rate, they are comparatively more vulnerable  According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, as many as 1,200 children aged from 7 to 10, from 39 schools walked to school on a daily basis in Barcelona.

Does Smoking Cigarette Reduce Stress?

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C made a shocking revelation about cigarette and its harmful effects. As the recent study by the French National Center for Scientific Research, cigarette is the main reason of causing stress among people. Nirmal Singh 3C finds it pretty ironical that on one hand people smoke so as to vent out their stress and frustration, while on the other hand it is pilling more on the heap of stress. This has been further substantiated by a news story published in Efe which says:  an exposure to nicotine cause more stress rather than calming a person up. This is in fact causing rise in anxiety-inducing in smokers. The study has been produced after checking lab mice. The centre’s head of research, Philippe Faure, said: "(The experiments) suggest that nicotine could enhance the effects of stress." Nirmal Singh 3C further finds that the Scientists from the University of Paris-Seine's Neuroscience Laboratory and the University of Nice Sophia Annapolis' Inst...

AAP Govt Asks Hospitals To Promote The Use Of CATS Ambulance For Pregnant Women

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C is glad to know that the Delhi government is coming forward to make the best use of ambulance service, Centralised Accident and Trauma Services (CATS), so as to transfer women to and fro from the hospitals. This move has come into effect due to underutilization of services. The ambulance service is also used for inter-hospital transfer of pregnant women as per the directives given to the hospital. “Presently, in comparison to institutional deliveries, utilisation of CATS ambulances for transportation of pregnant women for delivery and also for dropping home is very less and needs to be improved. All hospitals and medical institutions are requested to utilise CATS ambulance for this purpose by calling the centralised control room on the toll free number ‘102’,” said the circular. It is going to be a beneficial move as it helps women in getting the right services. As of now, more than 3.2 lakh institutional births took place in Delhi at various locations, in...
