No physician is available at night !!

This is one of the burning problems of the city that it is certain that if anybody becomes sick during night no physician will attend him despite best efforts. The most funny thing is that if any patient who has been permanently getting medical assistance from his family physician he will also not be favoured with any medical treatment by his doctor at night.

They even do not hold the phone of any patient at night.It is argued by the physician for non attending at night on the questions of security. This argument is however not tenable in view of the fact that they refuse to visit even those who are very known to them.

The question is what is the solution? In serious cases the patient may be taken to hospital and nursing home but all cases are not serious and the local physicians are enough to those patients who are not serious.

What is the solution of such a social problem?
In every family some medicines must be kept like fever,Acidity,Indigestion,  Diarrhoea ,  vomiting and stomach pain etc.

For the elderly people medicines like Sorbitrate must be kept at home . By this way the problem may be partly faced . It must be remembered that the said medicines should be checked now and then to watch the expiry dates.
