Are tests really helpful?
Sometime back I felt 'no' because they hardly confirm or exclude a disease. We diagnosed with history, age and demographic consideration.
But now with decreasing number of children in every family, each child is so precious and even normal tests are a great consolation.
I know many a time, it is too early to prescribe a test but it's difficult to pass a period of 6 to 7 days of an illness without investigations, also keeping in view the anxiety of the family.
There is growing intolerance for fever, more for Cough.
More TLC , DLC .. More X-rays and more fancy tests...
There are many parents, who get investigations done themselves even before they come for consultation.
Despite giving least attention to hygiene, many parents often ask, "Why our child has viral?"
Dear Friends, yes, there is intolerance in India for disease...
