What Doctors Don't Get To Study In Medical School [board_book] B.M. Hegde [Jan 01, 2019]…

This man is more genuine than any self proclaimed Guru. Plenty of Wolves in a Guru's clothes already in this world.Some of the chapters in this book are only for medical students.But this book is a must buy and better than any self help book.One can read any chapter at Random and doesn't have to follow a sequence.

The book indeed motivates the people seeking and practicing AYUSH, because authored by an allopathic doctor, a book having collection of text standardised by quotations & references to evidence based research/review articles by allopathy practitioners against certain allopathic ideologies, carries more psychological weightage in present social order.Though not always/exactly appropriate, because the author seems to favor ayurveda more over other alternatives, but yes I highly appreciate the efforts by an "allopathic" doctor author, to highlight facts that are missed by most other allopathic doctors, so that they no longer keep orthodox-pessimistic monetarily biased disease cause/management opinions.Medical field... is generally understood as ease vs dis-ease battle field or warfare studies against human suffering. In a time,, when the allopathic ideology that "disease sign-symptoms are disorder and logical solution is to near-directly block/suppress such body responses to prevent further suffering" has risen to the top,, this book is pioneering the awakening of alternative mindset among allopathic doctors that "sign-symptoms are voice of body conveying its requirement for amending life style/habits in order to work-rest efficiently towards personal reasons of being alive". This book is doing such by first suggesting allopathic doctors to realize the obvious flaws in the present medical management principles,Like...> When you study the mechanism of action of drugs, most work by chemically blocking specific physiological response pathways. Example, one of the most common discomforting sign-symptom i.e., fever is a protective solution against infective agents, yes it "might (not always)" damage brain function when its above 104, but approach is to suppress temperature center in brain as soon as temperature rises above 99 as if it is futile solution in comparison to the antibiotic-antivirals etc. we infuse in body. While crippling our body natural responses, we very well know that we are on verge of losing war against infective pathogens' ability to resist antimicrobials over time.> Life long dependency on synthetic thyroxin/ insulin/ anti-bp/ blood-thinners/ sleeping-pills etc. shouldn't be labelled as "treatment" as these jugaads are not cure for hypothyroidism diabetes hypertension stroke anxiety etc.> etc. more likewise conclusions in book... as if its a myth that student-doctors are taught about health mechanism-restoration-promotion... i.e., their mind are more programmed towards possibilities of disease & its occurance-invention-suppression/maintenance.Next...The readers become open to possibilities of synthetic chemical free or alternative effective metaphysical health explanations and management systems, that are already available, for prolonged/better quality of live. No doubt allopathy deals with trauma or severe-acute health crisis excellently, but today world is already witnessing the failure of allopathic treatment against chronic disorders and miraculous healing of injuries-infections-cancer among people opting more natural lifestyle amendment strategies. Mere realization of fact that discomforting feelings/aches are often short-lived and intake of very light fruit based diet with unconditional relaxtion, lead to avoidance of most misdiagnosis-maltreatments (i.e., unnecessary consultation-medications) and better immune memories.Anways, coming back on track of book reviewing... I, too have medical education with MBBS-MD degree, and I highly recommend this book, written in common simple not-so-technical/philosophical language, to all med-non-med people.

Both good and bad points. The book is great. Content is excellent. Dr. BM Hegde is one of the rare gems in the medical field. The publisher should have taken professional care to present Dr Hegde’s book without any major defect. But this 4th edition has 8 blank pages (the content in those pages is absent, erased). Earlier, many reviewers have written about that. Still, I ordered this book thinking that probably a few copies were like that. But I too, like others, received the same type of copy with blank, content-erased format. Why the publisher is selling these copies despite knowing that they have blank pages? He should have withdrawn such copies from the market, isn’t it?

This book is wonderful. Written by a cardiologist and backed well by references to published articles in reputed journals and books, the author shows how far the practice of medicine is from any real science.He has a wonderful perspective on what health is and how many "modern diseases" are created by business concerns rather than any science.For e.g. he shows how the values for "normal blood pressure" or "normal cholesterol levels" are driven by business goals rather than any real scientific data and gives all the gimmicks done to net more of the population under some or the other disease label.He rightly makes the case that "diagnosis" and "screening industry" is a modern disease and his exhortation is to leave the well alone and stop playing god with divine interventions for fictitious diseases.His insights on "life expectancy" and "health expectancy" are right on and a must read for those who think modern drugs and tech interventions are the root cause of increased life expectancy.The role of the doctor (and the related expectation effect) and the primary importance of the doctor patient relationship is stressed and he comes across as a humane philosopher and his views are like a breath of fresh air.I cannot do justice to all that he has covered in this short review. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and read this book. He has a lot to say on blood pressure, heart disease, cholesterol levels, adverse drug reactions, importance of a mind and emotions in health, the role of the doctor etc. which concern just about every family today.If you have medical doctors or students in your family, buy this book as a gift for them. You will do them and the patients that they meet in future a huge favor.

Great book

Masterpiece !!! 🌟Exposes The Modern Pharmaceutical Industry which was founded by David Rockefeller in 30s , A MEDICAL Student who criticizes this book can't think of outside the box and is ignorant 🐑 sheep who accepts blindly whatever they are told ! Kudos to BM Hegde for writing such book. In India Perception of common public is that Doctors = God - Experts , meanwhile they don't know doctors only do whatever they are taught in medical school and they are taught to treat symptoms not disease . One must question Everything !As Voltaire Said - Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing.Learn the True History of Pharmaceutical Industry and how holistic medicines were banned by Big Pharma and then read this book and Several Others like What Really makes you Ill , Goodbye Germ Theory etc .
