cancer

This prevalent disease has been covered here many times..in the context of cause esp the way our chemical agriculture and the chemical pollution in our food is reason for the high cancer incidence these days.
we also discussed how very benign people, with out any vices, are afflicted and why this disease is on the rise.
I had also mentioned about the Chemotherapy for my mom. Today I had to go to the hospital for the 2nd chemo cycle. They asked us to wait. After waiting for an hour, I went again to check out and they said there were many waiting and only after some more discharges can they allot a room. Though I was worked up that they didnt prepare inspite of us having booked a room well in advance. But their ineffeciency or my impatience is not the point. Curiosity led me to ask them how many were waiting! wanna take a guess??
it was 30 at 12 noon! so many people waiting for Chemo. This is an expensive treatment and this hospital in question is also an expensive one.
The cancer is really on the rise and reasons have been discussed every where including here. I dont see people taking necessary precaution at all! Isnt it a serious concern? why is there such a casual approach? go read this again!

oh yeah! forgot to tell here that this cancer specialty hospital has microwave ovens in every floor of the patients' wards to help:-) aint that a proven carcinogenic activity? they also have all those nastily packed kurkures and chips in every corner possible like the western world's vending counters! absolutely no care to educate against the cancer causing food/processed food nor any intention to improve the nutritional quality. looks like they are happy with the increase in cancer incidence! after all business isnt?? may be they all come from the same school as the Manmohans, PCs, Monsantos, pawars- who see some business and economics thru skewed numbers and not reality.
