Common man in dilemma!

What is happening and what did he vote for….

At the end of a discussion with one of my well-wishers, we concluded, come what may, this land is destined to be governed by none other than politician-capitalist nexus, where there is no role, whatsoever, left for a common man. This can be too harsh a conclusion, but after a long deliberation a small fry of my little standing is convinced that certainly average Kashmiri has no say in managing the affairs of this state.

September 2014 floods exposed the whole gamut of our preparedness to handle the fury. At the end of the day it was only the common man who was hit harder and is yet to reconcile with the aftermath of floods. These floods taught us many lessons and the most prominent of all that Aam Admi was taken for granted. No empathy of real sense was shown towards lesser mortals. Read More Common man in dilemma!

My date with SKIMS!

Except one small bitterness the experience was heart-winning.

We have a vast network of healthcare units spread in length and breadth of the state with a huge budgetary allocation. But alas! Much of our healthcare units are decaying. The primary and secondary healthcare system located in countryside is worst hit. These units lack proper management and the tender touch of medical ethics. At block, tehsil and district headquarters too, the situation is not satisfactory. This situation of quandary in our basic healthcare system has impeded the whole referral chain and strained much of our specialized healthcare units mostly located in urban areas.

My personal experience was different and fortunately ended at a positive note. After getting a sound harassment from private healthcare mafia for more than a month a sincere cardiologist true to his medical ethics advised me to have specialized treatment either at SKIMS or somewhere outside the state. We tried our best to go for the second option but my heart gave way much sooner than expected and landed at critical care unit of SKIMS. Surely, SKIMS is the true manifestation of late Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah’s visionary leadership; a marvellous conception of specialized treatment center and a potential hub of medical tourism. Out of all the departments’ cardiology department at SKIMS is comparatively in a better shape. Here my blood vascular system was put to advance X-ray guided scanning procedure—known as angiography in medical parlance. True to the apprehensions of the doctor who referred me to SKIMS, doctors decided to go for interventional procedure of angioplasty to ease out the obstructions in my vascular system.
