Those good ole days when doctors were 'doctor uncle', a distant yet dedicated member of the family, are long gone. Doctors, once upon a time long long long ago, were family doctors. A very look at the at times kind and avancular, at times stern, scary, and frightening face cured half the dis-ease.
That friendly feel is now long past. We are in the specialist era. A visit to a doctor is scary now because of the monies involved. When such, such are the times, the common man's asli real time doctor these days is the chemist.
The chemist is often the doctor day in and day out. In the daily lived life, 'across the counter', many people buy medicines as per the chemist's advice. Given the chemist's knowledge and experience, most often the medicine works wonders.
Chemists have phenomenal memory. Our chemist, Pritam Rathod, never needed Aai's doctor's prescription while he fetched from the various and very many boxes the different tablets and capsules in the exact quantity. He helped her in many other ways as well.
In the daily lived lives, chemists thus are friends, guides and doctors for many families. The 'across the counter' culture can hence never be wiped out by the online buy of medicines.
On the chemist's day hence, here is wishing well to this very important clasp of the medicinal chain!
Pratima@For a long long time, may the common man get the help of the chemists, the doctors day in day out!
N.B. Yes, I am aware that given the lure of dirty monies, chemists, too, can foist false placebos so that Pharma companies flood them with goodies. Such gone cases are in every field in our 'gone case', every which way corrupt, times.
