As A Counsellor, I Am Fortunate (?) To Experience A Varied Gamut Of Human Relationships Through The Cases That Come To Me For Therapy.one Such Case Was That Of A Young Adolescent Boy, Who Was Referred To Me For Academics, As Well As Behavioural Issues. On Meeting The Boy, He Seemed Compliant Enough For The Questions And Answered Them Willingly, But I Could Sense Intense Rage Within Him. On Probing, I Found That His Primary Anger Was Directed Against His Mother. Reason? She Insults Him In Front Of His Uncle And The Servant! The Mother Looked Surprised That This Was A Topic Of Dissent With The Boy. Her Logic Was That If He Is Scolded In Front Of Someone Else, Then He Would Learn To Behave Better. When I Asked Her What Her Expectations Were She Had Only One Thing To Say: I Want Him To Respect Elders.i Found Her Need To Be Very Amusing… Considering She Was Using Humiliation As A Tool To Discipline Her Son.everybody Has This Need In Them To Be Respected, Whether Young Or Old. How Could The Mother Expect The Child To Develop A Sense Of Respect And Reverence, When Everytime She Would Deride And Belittle Him Not Only In The Privacy Of Their Home But Also In Public? It Is, According To Me, The Lowest Form Of Disciplining Tactics, Which Would Have The Person At The Receiving End Seething Inside With Humiliation. I Remember, When I Was Working In A Publication Firm, We Would Have This Monthly Meetings, Which Were Called “hall Of Shame”. The Names Of All Those Editors Who Had Not Met Their Targets Would Be Written On The Board, And They Would Be Asked For Detailed Feedbacks And Explanations. This Could Also Be Done In The Cabins Of The Senior Professionals, But I Think They All Got A Perverse Pleasure, Seeing Them Squirm In Front Of An Audience. What Irreparable Damage Was Being Done To The Psyche Of The Person, I Dread To Think. A Personal Memo Calling The Person Filthy Names Is So Much Better Than This Public Flogging. Coming Back To The Case, When I Started Handling The Issues With The Mother, I Could Understand Where She Was Coming From. She Was A Perfectionist, And Theirs Was The Most Passive Marriage I Have Ever Seen! When Asked If She Expected Others To Respect Her As A Person And Her Opinions, She Wanted To Know What I Was Talking About! For The Husband, She Was Just A Wife; One Who Took Care Of His Physical And Biological Needs. He Could Not Describe The Person That She Was: Her Identity Was That She Was His Wife. She Was Labelled A Bad Mother Because Her Son Did Not Behave ‘properly’. So To Get Social Approval She Was Being Punitive With The Son. Her Life Revolved On Social Approvals. She Could No Longer Establish Her Own Identity, And Establishing The Importance Of Being Herself Became The Focus Of Counselling. She Was Gradually Able To Understand That You Do Not Demand Respect; You Command It. And You Can Only Teach How To Respect If You Practise It. The Point Took A While To Sink In; But When She Was Able To Withdraw From The Controlling Relationship, And Also Refused To Take Responsibility For Her Son’s Misbehaviour, And Refuse To Accept The Label Of Being A ‘bad Mother’ Simply Because He Misbehaved, Things Started Turning Around. When People Around Realised That She Was Not Accepting The Blame For His Behaviour, They Started Handling The Boy Differently; And He Too, In Subsequent Sessions Was Able To Understand The Scenario. Sessions Are Still On; The Husband Continues To Be Passive, Though He Is Beginning To Think There Is More To A Marriage Than Just Staying Together, And Is Slowly Willing To Enrich The Relationship.it Is Not ‘all Is Well’ As Yet…. But I Hope It Would Be.mohana Narayanan

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. Interactive Patient Communication Widgets And Electronic Health Records Can Add An Entirely New Dimension To The Concept Of Medical Websites.
