like the Taj Mahal, Yoga, crowded country with a large population and the land
of Hindus and sadhus. Contrary to the popular belief India is much more, and
most people are not even aware of the progress and development India has made
in the last couple of decades; which has made India the fifth largest economy
and soon may become the third largest economy in the world. India’s catapult to
success is not only due to the development in the present, but it was started
years ago by various governments and was helped by our age-old legacy of
centuries back.

the hard work and put together a list of unique facts of India you probably

Family Doctor
The concept of a family doctor is mainly unique to India. Else-where they are a vanishing breed. The family doctor is a friendly neighborhood general practitioner. The family doctor is not only a physician, but a friend, philosopher and guide to his patients. More often like a family member, as he is familiar and treats all the members of the family, from grandparents to their children and grandchildren. He knows them all by name and is also familiar with the health history of each of his regular patients. He has a calming influence on the patient and makes him feel better and confident. And most importantly, he is affordable and can be trusted. In most cases, patients feel much better by just visiting and talking to him.
In many instances, he advices and also guides
patient’s regarding health, education and even personal matters of the
patient’s relatives and friends, and their children, sometimes even advises
them on matrimonial matters and even counsels them in personal issues of his
patients. One truly realizes the importance of your friendly family doctor when
you are out, in India or abroad. You miss his advice and words of wisdom. He
knows your body and case history. He knows the medicines that suit you and what
is allergic or if it has any side effects on his patients. You miss him, his
comforting words, simple medicine and above all, the confidence to treat you
back to normal health. I am sure many will vouch for their family doctor who is
also a good friend.
