Medical prescriptions
Millions of people fall sick in India. The medical industry caters to these people - yet prescriptions are still carried in hand while buying medicines. They should be computerised for convenience..
IN VIEW of much advanced computer know-how amongst masses, Medical Council of India should take steps so that medical practitioners may start issuing prescriptions direct from the computer after storing patients’ medical history in their computers. Likewise, medical-laboratories should assign a customer-number to each person going there for medical tests. Computerised data of all regular customers would then be readily available even for past medical history. Such a system will add to their regular clientele as well.

The chemist should follow mandatorily to write the number batch expiry date etc., of the medicine and as to how much quantitiy has been issued to patient, the bill number etc., which checks the across the counter sales of the medicines, without prescription, the chemist himself adorning the Doctor's character too.The Doctors also will then think of the ramifications of each drug cross interactions etc., for fear of reprimand, in case of irresponsible prescriptions,as a matter of fact, least realising the interacton of drugs though they are expected to be doubly sure about it as per their learning.
