Gosain seeks justice for city hospitals Ludhiana, May 10 Claiming that the CMCH had always been in the forefront to provide succour to the ailing humanity in case of natural calamities and other emergencies, he said the dedicated and committed doctors and other paramedical staff of the hospital had nursed the wounds of thousands of fellow human beings at the time of Dabwali fire tragedy, major train disasters near Ludhiana, earthquake in Gujarat and the deadly fire accidents in Gur Mandi and Khud Mohalla in the recent past. In a communication, narrating the woeful tale of CMCH, Mr Gosain observed that the institution had offered best possible medical assistance and treatment to more than 100 victims of Khud Mohalla fire in the city in May 2003. The Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, had announced at that time that the government would bear the cost of treatment of the victims. However, even after one year of the tragic happening, an amount of around Rs 1 crore due to the CMCH, had not been paid by the government. The case of the other premier medical institution in the city - the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), Mr Gosain maintained, was no better. He said the district authorities and the state government had shown utter immaturity in dealing with the staff strike in DMCH in July 2002. Throwing all democratic norms to wind and denying the trade union rights to the striking workers, the police had resorted to a brutal lathi charge and indiscriminate use of force in which one worker had lost his life. The police had not spared even the doctors, nurses, paramedical staff and even bystanders and some patients. Mr Gosain alleged that as the government
sympathy was with the management of DMCH, the police had displayed a revengeful, and
autocratic behaviour, booking striking workers in false criminal cases under Section 307 and various other sections. It was almost two years that the harassed hospital employees, including nurses, were making rounds of the courts in connection with the cases at the cost of their duty of attending to the patients. He urged Ms Gandhi to use her good offices and come to the rescue of both the medical institutions in the city by impressing upon the state government in Punjab to release the promised funds to the CMCH and withdrawal of all false cases registered against the employees of DMCH, so that these hospitals could continue to serve the people without any tension or fear. |

EYES are the most vulnerable part of human body. The eyes express the inner feelings, ailments of body and mind and the beauty of the face. Take good care of your eyes in the summers. Hot weather effects your eyes. The excessive use of eyes must be stopped. At the same time we should know the methods to keep our eyes clean and healthy. Tips for keeping eyes healthy : - Wear good quality goggles in strong sunlight otherwise your eyes can get damaged. - Avoid overexposure to sunlight. - Wash your eyes with cold or “Triphala” water in the morning, noon and before sleeping. Fill eye wash cups with water up to the brim. Dip your eyes in the water. Blink gently in the water. Wash the eyes for at least five minutes. - The feet should be washed with ice water twice a day and at night before going to bed. Massage the bottom of the feet with ice. The ice massage has a good effect on the eyes. - Blinking at the moon is good for the eyes. During moonlit nights lie down on the back facing the sky. Blink while looking at the moon for 10 times. - Eyes should be protected from dust and smoke. If a dirt particle enters an eye do not rub it. Dip the eye in a vessel containing clean water and then blink. The dust particle will be washed. - During hot weather wash your eyes with rose water four times a day. - Parents should try to cultivate in their children the right reading habits. - Do not strain your eyes by reading in dim light. - During reading and writing never hold the book too close to the eyes. Keep the book at a distance of at least 10 inches. After reading for about an hour continuously it is necessary to give rest to your eyes. The best way is to close your eyes and cover them with your palms for five minutes. - Watch TV sitting 5 to 6 metres away from it. - If you have an eye infection do not wear contact lenses or eye make-up until the infection is gone. - Do not share handkerchiefs and towels with an infected person. - Always wash your hands before touching your eyes and do not rub your eyes. - Avoid frequent use of eye drops. They may irritate the eye and cause allergic reactions. - To avoid vitamin-A deficiency incorporate milk and fresh green leafy vegetables in your daily diet. - Avoid mental stress. If any eye problem continues for more than a week consult an eye specialist. — Dr Anil Dheer
