Hi,

I had to suffer a lot due to bad health during this week. I got cold and coughing with fever. I had to go to doctor. Despite of it took time to recover. I am still not fully recovered from my illness but feeling better now. This is not the first time that I fell ill but it was something mysterious. My doctor gave me antibiotics which were uneffective. In the past whenever I fell ill because of cold and cough, I got well in a few days. Now it seems that the illness have become very tenacious. It is not going to leave me easily.

Illness is one thing and the cost of its treatment is another. I have to spend a good amount on my treatment. Doctor's fee and then cost of purchasing medicines put a burden on my pocket. It was not enough, I have to take leave from my work that also harmed me financially.

In the present time cost of healthcare has increased a lot. People who are not capable of spending money on healthcare have to compromise with their health. In a long run it reduces their lifespan. In some countries government subsiside health expenditure and in some countries they are given free medical facilities. This is a good thing, though it is not available in all the countries. In the poorer countries people have to rely on untrained doctors and staff. They have no option but to suffer from cronic diseases. This is the pity of our modern world. It seems that we are going back in the middle ages where people have no option but to suffer in want of medical facilities.

So, please be careful and take care.
