A healthcare boom after IT boom?
People are predic... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A healthcare boom after IT boom?People are predicting about a BT boom ...but where is it?Its incubation period is long and costs are plenty..I think rather than BT boom there will be a healthcare boom in India in the next 5 to 10 years..with a lot of software professionals with high paying jobs and leading stressed out lives..Already it is showing with the number of infertility cases,accidents,obesity...People will flock to health clinics for preventive health care to get betterAlso with this there is advancement of technology with networking sites like orkut enabling us to communicate with any person in the world..Naturally as a result of this Medical tourism will benefit with India offering cheap and world-class health care...This augurs well for the second -largest industry after agriculture in India.

Ganglion

But don't self-medicate or use ointments -find a good homeopath- since I've seen the cure can be spectacular if done well, with a caring doc (rather than sloppy attempts with too high potencies or too low as application-type extracts).(Don't go in for more surgeries either un

I would like to know if there is a need to check the blood group of ur prospective life partner.I have heard that if a woman has a Rh - blood group and her husband has Rh + blood group, their child will have RH + blood group and when the child is in the mothers womb, it would be like a foreign body in her mothers body and his blood can mix with her blood. This could cause problems during pregnancy.In my case, my blood group is B Rh + whereas the blood group of a girl who can be prospective partner is AB-.Is there a medical reason why it would not be advisable for us to marry. Is there any treatment for this problem.ThanksErythroblastosis fetalis also known as Rh incompatibilityis an autoimmune condition characterised by development of antibodies against red blood cells in the second pregnancy after the first pregnancy is sensitised by passing of Rh positive blood through the placenta and antibodies develop....These antibodies attack the r
