Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi

Udupi, Jan 28: Nagaveni alias Swapna Shakeer, who was practicing as a 'doctor' and prescribing medicine to patients around Paduthonse, Kemmannau for the last eight years, was caught by health officials during a raid conducted on Monday, January 27.

Swapna Shakeer had opened a clinic with false registration with the health authorities, and was providing medical service to the people. The health officials who raided her clinic found that she did not possess valid degree certificates.

Dr Ramachandra Bayari, health and family development board officer has registered a complaint with Malpe police station against Swapna for cheating the people by prescribing medicine, and also cheating the health authorities by running a clinic without valid registration.

    The news said,cheating the people by prescribing medicine,
    So maybe she cheated many people, here surprise, instead of patients,the doctor has to come forward to complain, where are the patients who cheated by her? Why people are silent from 8 years

    We hope with professional doctors, spend more,much medicine,less cure,sometime fake report,last vanishes, our hope,Sometime professional doctors medicine also failing, we has to remember verywhere fakus there, some time fekus also doing well.
    I remember our olden days education less and no doctors much,but all people use country medicine,Ayurvedic, was very well working on sick,cured and people healthy....long life...,

    There is nothing like an uneducated or educated doctor.It should be termed as qualified doctors and Quaks.The Quaks are doing good bussiness because of uneducated people.

    May she is not having a degree, her medicines went well with patients.and if not, why not any of her patients complained in 8 years about her?.
    Sometime we run after good professional doctors and we have been cheated,looted and their medication failed on us. Mostly now days more doctors are after money.

    Why there is no action against those health officials who had given her permission to start her clinic? Bribe? They should do the background verification right?
    That is fine. Here Govt officials who are bribed should not be punished?

    Dear daiji u have not mentioned what is her degree, for it is common in remote areas that a RMP or an experienced compunder gives medicines for fever or some minor disease, the point is people cannot go to cities due to financial problems and secondly the govt is doing nothing, if she practicing for many years it shows that she is doing a good job, and she has patients who believe her, forget degrees, people with proper degrees know nothing

    Just because ones practicing for so many doesn't mean he/she is doing a good job. The doc may have prescribed wrong meds.. Whose gonna guarantee it?? if the doc can cheat with a fake med certificate, she can also cheat with meds.. you don't play with someone's life.

    You are right bro, right in Mangalore some places I have seen old docs who are not having the regular degrees but some designation called Govt. Medical Officer and they do roaring business the customers being mostly the poor and middle class. He is an ethical man and prescribes only medicines he has with him, and dirt cheap, rarely costly outside medications and never refers for costly checks without being sufficiently justified!! Twice I have gotten treated for malaria, which he diagnosed just by the symptoms and gave me a small packet of medicines costing 50 bucks from his medicine box and asked me to visit him again, only if things go serious, you have to see to believe the amount of patients he gets, a very simple man!!!

    As you said today medicine is so commercialized that somebody having a rosy degree from an institution who has admitted him by taking crores of capitation fee would be having lesser knowledge than one who has worked with a doctor as compunder for 5-10 years!!

    Today with affluence people tend to think that more the practitioners' charges and degrees the more the safer hands, they are in, but it is not so!! Jai Ho!!!

    Very sad, now a day’s patient should ask doctor whether he has genuine certificate and then think of getting treated. Kaisa zamana hai…. Swapna should express her regret to the local people for her undesirable deed.

    One has to go oneself to the most rural areas of our country where no MBBS doc is ready to practice!! Even those who have studied in govt. medical colleges using public money and signed bonds quietly wriggle out and run abroad before the authorities catch on them!! In such situations, such RMP type docs are the only lifeline for the poorest of the poor in granting basic medical help before they are referred to a specialty center!! Of course, there could be many total quacks and dubious docs who are practising without having any basic knowledge of medicines!!

    Modern docs are in utmost haste to collect as much as money in the shortest possible to me from rich people in urban areas to cover their costs and then start earning and collecting good money!!!

    In rural areas sometime the fake doctors can survive to an extent just providing paracetamol antibiotics and kind of cough syrup for the time being and for a further thorough check up just end up with a referral to modern clinics/hospitals.A easy Doctor.

    Santhekatte is not at all a rural place for a fake doctor to have survived her practice without evoking any doubts of any of the residents??

    But in remote areas, most of the doctors who practice are those with dubious degrees, but this proliferation is due to the reluctance of regular doctors to not go to rural areas even to complete their compulsory internship!!

    Ironically, I remember in the olden days there was an exam named RMP (registered medical practitioner) which could be taken by a compounder who has worked with the professional doctor for a certain period of years and then start his own private practice legally and there is no doubt these RMP docs did yeoman service in the slums and bylanes of Mumbai and around serving the poorest of the poorest at low cost!!!

    I am a writer and a never say die romantic. I have never said this. However, most of my friends ...say the same thing about the most beautiful women...like they are 'Fake Flowers' and all that! Why?
    I have no such experiences, though. For me, all are real in flesh and blood.
    For others sake, I carry on this research now ,in this subject, as part of social services. My papers on the subject will be out soon.Think it will be a 'hot potato' sorry sell like hot potatoes.

    What's there to read and understand about a potato? Except that it's round and reminds you of one or two things? The difference is when it becomes 'hot' and 'sizzling'...Then all your senses, sensibilities, etc,etc, go out of the window...Right?

    And she was doing this for last 8 years!!!!!!!! A similar case I read maybe a year back, happened in Mangalore. Can't trust people in this most respected profession also in India. How many more may be there in other parts of Karnataka/India.
