The Medical Care Of The Child During Its First Two Years Of Life Not Merely Requires Of The Physical, But Also Of The Mental Health And Development. This Begins, Not At The Time Of Birth But In Utero. It Is Essential To Guard The Health Of The Mother During Pregnancy, Her Mental And Physical If The Best Possible Child Is To Be Born. There Are Various Disabilities From Which The Mother May Suffer Which Have An Adverse Effect On The Unborn Infant. Some Are Conditions Peculiar To Pregnancy: Others Are Ailments Which Attack Indiscriminately The Pregnant And Non-pregnant. Let Us Take First A Few Of The Conditions Peculiar To Pregnancy. On The Physical Side We Have Excessive Vomiting, Albuminaria, Constipation With Toxic Absorption, Or Diarrhoea. On The Mental Side There Are Such Things As Undue Depression, Morbid Fears, Sleeplessness, And The Effects Of Frights. In This Sphere Homoeopathy Has Much To Offer In Advance Of Ordinary Medicine. For Example: Excessive Vomiting Of Pregnancy, If Allowed To Continue, Will Lead To The Death Of The Foetus, Either Naturally, Or Artificially Induced To Save The Life Of The Mother. In A Very Large Percentage Of Cases, When The Vomiting Of Pregnancy Starts, A Few Homoeopathic Doses Of Ipecacuanha Will Completely Control It. The Danger Is Prevented And Does Not Need To Be Met. In Those Unfortunate Cases In Which The Condition Has Not Been Homoeopathically Treated From The Start, The Response To The Homoeopathic Drug Is Startling, Though The Choice Of The Drug Is More Difficult And Is Dictated By The Symptoms Of The Individual Case. Albuminuria Of Pregnancy Is One Of The Terrors Of The Obstetrician. It Is One Of The Great Danger Signals, One Of The Signs That The Strain Is Telling On The Mother, And Through Her On The Child. It Is The Precursor Of Convulsions With All Their Horrors And Anxieties. Small Pills Of Homoeopathy Remedies Like Apis, Plumbum, Acidum Phosphoricum Or Terebinthina Remove The Albumin From The Urine And Make The Case Settle In No Times. Constipation In Pregnancy Is A Common Trouble. Where It Exists Toxic Absorption Is Bound To Follow, And While It Persists The Patient Is In Danger Of The Severer Complications Due To Infection By The Bacillus Coli. In The Great Majority Of Cases A Few Doses Of Nux Vomica, Opium, Or Alumina Will Put Matters Right, Provided The Mother's Diet Is Rational. Diarrhoea In Pregnancy Is Always A Serious Matter, And If Not Speedily Relieved May Lead To Miscarriage. The Gentle Action Of A Small Dose Of Aloe, Podophyllum Or Mercurius Can Give An Instantaneous Relief. Rubella, Or German Measles If Acquired During Pregnancy, Especially During The First Four Months, May Have An Adverse Effect On The Unborn Child. In The Event Of Exposure To Infection During Pregnancy It Would Be Wise To Prescribe The Rubella Nosode. On The Mental Side The Effects Of Morbid States In The Mother Have A Very Definite Effect On The Foetus. The Morbid Depression Will Fade Away After The Judicious Administration Of Pulsatilla, Aurum, Or Sepia. Fears Lose Their Terror Under The Action Of Aconitum Napellus, Arsenicum Album, Argentum Nitricum, Ignatia Amara Or One Of The Dindred Drugs. Sleep Returns To The Weary Mother Helped By Aconitum Napellus, Belladonna, Coffea Cruda, Nux Vomica, Etc., And The Fright Loses Its Evil Effect Under The Sedative Influence Of Aconitum Napellus, Ignatia Amara, Opium, Phosphorus, Pulsatilla Nigricans, Etc. The Mother's Nervous System Has Not Been Dulled, Not Has The Unborn Infant Been Poisoned By Any Of These Drugs. The Next Factor Seriously Affecting The Well-being Of The Child Is Its Birth. Here There Are Great Possibilities Of Injury; Unavoidable Injury At The Hands Of The Most Skilful Attendant, Due To The Necessity For Manipulation Of Instruments, Or Injury Due To Prolonged And Difficult Labour, Without Any Outside Interference. These Injuries May Be To Limbs Or, Much More Serious, May Involve Intracranial Haemorrhages And Consequent Brain Damage. There Are Two Problems To Be Considered Here: How To Avoid The Risk, If Possible; And What Can Be Done For The Infant Who Is Suffering From The Effects Of A Difficult Labour. It Is An Experience Common To Homeopathic Doctors Everywhere, Who Are Conducting A General Practice, That Their Patients Do Not Suffer From Difficult Labour. That Does Not Prove Anything, But It Is A Fortunate Fact For The Patients. There Are Two Factors Which Have A Bearing On This Happy Experience: A Pregnant Woman Who Is Treated Throughout Her Pregnancy With Homoeopathic Medicine Will Approach Her Confinement Freed From The Physical And Mental Ailments Which So Often Are Factors In The Production Of An Unsatisfactory Confinement; And, There Is A Drug, Caulephyllum, Which Has The Power Of Regulating The Processes Of Labour, A Fact Which Was Known And Used By Homoeopaths Many Years Ago, And Is Equally True To-day.

Practicing Medicine In The Private Sector Is A Very Tough Proposition. It’s Not Enough To Be A Very Good Doctor. You Should Be Known To Be A Very Good Doctor. It’s Not Enough To Provide All The Latest Treatment Options And Services. Everyone Should Know (or Be Able To Find Out Easily) All The Services Provided At Your Clinic/ Hospital.traditional Healthcare Communication Meant Word-of-mouth Publicitytraditionally, Physicians And Medical Practices Have Relied On Word-of-mouth Publicity To Establish Themselves. A Patient Who Has Undergone An Event-free Angiography At The Local Cardiac Care Center Would Then Tell Five Others About His/her Wonderful Experience. So Now Five More People Know About The Latest Angiography Services At That Cardiac Center. Hopefully, This Positive Review Continues In A Geometric Progression As More And More People Visit The Medical Center. But Is That Enough? What About The High Tech Cardiac Catheterization And Latest Stenting Services Also Available At That Center? There Would Be Hundreds Of Bits Of Positive Details About Your Hospital Most Patients Don’t Even Get To Know Of. Hoping That All Visitors To A Medical Center Realize All Its Plus Points And Then Remember To Pass These Plus Points To Others Is So Optimistic, It’s Foolish. Thus Word-of-mouth Publicity Serves A Very Limited Role In Evangelizing Any Healthcare Services.challenges In Healthcare Communicationmedical Practices Can No Longer Rely Only On Word-of-mouth To Inform The World About Their Existence. But They Also Face A Big Handicap. They Need To Make Themselves And Their Quality Services Known Without Resorting To Overt Advertising. Clinics And Smaller Hospitals Face A Specially Forbidding Challenge In Breaking Through This Glass Ceiling Of ‘perceived Quality’. Sheer Size Has Allowed Larger Hospitals To Carry An Aura Of Quality, Irrespective Of The Services They Provide. In Contrast, Many Clinics Which Provide Top-of-the-line Services Are Just Not Accorded Due Respect Or Simply Remain Unknown.medical Websites In Healthcare Communicationdespite Providing The Best Services, Many Small Practices Are Labeled ‘poor Quality’ Simply Because Of Low Visibility. Technology Has Broken Down This Artificial Divide Between Small And Larger Medical Practices. A High Quality Website Has Become The Single Most Important Way To Establish Your Credibility, Authority And Niche Online. Websites And Social Media Channels Provide An Easy To Access Free Platform For Showcasing Your Expertise To Any Targeted/ Segmented Population.a Website Becomes The Way People Remember And Recall Your Clinic. A Website Creates A Visual Brand For Your Medical Practice, Allowing Strong Recall Value Even Among People Who May Never Have Visited Your Clinic. With The Help Of A High Quality Medical Website, A Niche Specialty Clinic Can Achieve The Same Recognition As Many Large Super-specialty Hospitals.beyond Branding, The Practical Utilities Medical Practices Can Provide The Patients Via Their Websites Are Plenty. Appointment Scheduling And Lab Reports Can Easily Be Accessed Via Medical Websites.
