HEALTHCARE

medicine
  DONT HANG THE DOC !!   I seriously wonder ,why the Doctors are always blamed when it comes to improper health care of the country.(The Doctor only knows Economics-Outlook, Feb 18,2013) I would like to emphasise here, that the doctor plays a very small role in the medical care being rendered, its cost and availability.
