The latest and growing trend is that of 'medical tourism'. There seems to be some confreres who are eternally obsessed with their health. So much so, any sneeze or scratch is blown out of proportion to be related to some life-threatening ailment.
Then there are those who wish, by any and all means, to visit every doctor and stream of medicine available, anywhere in the country, at any costs to address the same health concern. Thus we have confreres who visit every ayurvedic therapy centre in Kerala, then return and within two months visit another therapeutic centre in another part of Kerala, and in another two months visit an orthopaedic centre in some part of Telangana, and all this while continue taking the strong doses of medicine prescribed by their first doctor whom they visited two years ago (but never again even mentioned to him about the rest of the medical journey)!
On the other end of the spectrum are some who stubbornly refuse to visit any medical centre, even though they have some serious health issues which need medical intervention.
Add to this list the growing cases of mental well-being and health issues. Of course, some of the above issues are mostly because of mental imbalances!!
The most comic angle of this scenario is that most (not all) of those 'sick' and expecting medical attention, are the first and most to travel places... any distance, any time, by any mode, for no significant reason!
