VISITORS BEYOND VISITING HOURS TO HOSPITALISED PATIENT

It is from my experience , I can surely say that a few visitors are genuine in visiting a hospitalized patient. And they abide by the hospital visiting hours to a larger extent if not perfectly.In India specially in Govt./Public sector undertaking hospitals visitors usually crowd their patient as if there is no specified visiting hours and their absence will prove detrimental to the patient’s treatment.I think they come to show their face to the patient that they have put their attendance.This intention has been proved in the sense that, if they are asked to help the patient, may be by donating blood,helping the patient in shifting to other departments for some purpose ,they do not respond and some will hide their face and fly away.Most of time they do a harm to the patient. Because the patient can not take rest if has been advised.Instead of remaining calm patient goes to tension is describing the same illness story to each new visitor. I think patient himself might not be in a mood to talk. but has to speak to keep the face of the visitor.In this part of our country this practice contributes to a lot of cross infection to the already immune/defense compromised patient .In my opinion this sort of practice should be stopped.Not that hospitals are there in India where this visiting hours is not strictly followed.
Now the latest mode of representation is in form of mobile calls because mobile phones are now rampant in use here.And this is more easier and cost effective mode of representation before the hospitalised patint.
CAN WE BE RESPONSIBLE TO SOME EXTENT IN THIS REGARD IN HELPING OUR NEAR AND DEARS TO EARLY RECOVERY?

FRACTURE OF THIGH BONE(FEMUR) AND OTEOPOROSIS


The typical description an aged female patient and her relatives gives is that she fell down in the bathroom and unable to get up. The clinician finds a fracture of neck of femur, the upper part of thigh bone.And the book also describes in the similar manner.Actually the truth is that the bone breaks first and patient falls down.This is called a pathological fracture usually follows osteoporosis associated in the old age.There are other causes of a pathological fracture also.Estrogen a female hormone plays an important role in maintaining the bone density.After age of forty gradually the hormone secretion decreases resulting in more porous and weak bone, making it vulnerable to crack .If one follows weight bearing exercise, walking being one of them ,it helps to make the bone stronger by applying stress.Along with it she should take calcium and calcium containing food supplementation according to advice of doctor.It can be avoided to a larger extent if can not be stopped.

PC HEALTH AND DISC CLEANING IN WINDOWS XP

The new users of windows XP and PC seldom know that maintainence of operating system is required.When they start using are carried away by the advertisements for cleaning/defragmenting their operating system and run for downloading softwares from net like me. But most of the maintainence work to be done are in built.As I came across those aspects,present a screen shot of those.Even old restore points can be cleaned when the drives go fattier as software are added(some create restore points automatically).One should go from Start~All programs~Accessories~System tools~disc cleaning/defragmenting Etc and select options.
