DDA PERSONAL DOCTOR-MR.R. DURGA GIVES PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO BE TAKEN DURING THE WINTER SEASON- DDA MEDICAL TEAM PROVIDES 24 HOURS MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS FACING HEALTH ISSUES ‘Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship’ BUDDHA In his online session, Mr.R.Durga-the personal doctor of DDA addressed the students of DDA to take all the necessary health precautions in order to keep them hale and hearty. He tells that there are two different ways in which the cold affects a person. He explains that the two different aspects are the dry cold and the wet cold which can adversely affect a person’s health. In the dry cold season, a person should be cautious to cover the body with warm clothes and he specifically tells that the use of loose woolen clothes is the best. He tells that very tight clothes should not be worn. Covering of ears with a muffler and the hands and feet with mittens and socks is therefore recommended by him. Taking Vitamin c and a nutritious diet are the most essential precautions. Warm water should be sipped from time to time to keep the throat moist and free of infections. He goes against smoking and drinking as he considers them injurious to health and has a bad impact on blood flow and the veins. He tells that the students come to him for the treatment of minor ailments but if after the diagnosis, there is a need for a specialist, he does refer to the students the names of the specialist who can treat them. DDA has a complete medical team to deal with the day-to-day health issues of the students. If he feels that the students are having major health issues, then, in that case, the names of hospitals are recommended to them. As far as wet cold is concerned which usually happens during the rainy winter seasons in the month of December and January, he recommends that moist or wet clothes should not be worn as they might cause cold and exposure of the nose, fingers, and toes to extreme cold might be penalized a person’s health as you might catch chill brain in which you might feel the redness on the skin of your hands or skin infection. You should take steam and warm water to cure yourself of this problem and nutritious food is essential to prevent such situations. Dry fruit and other such food nutrients which can keep our body warm are essentially recommended both as a precaution and as a cure. Vitamin C is very important to keep a person away from colds. Exercise and massage are two ways to keep blood circulation regular for good health. Other than that, one needs to take one’s food on time and not expose oneself to extremes of temperature to keep oneself in good shape. The students are specifically told that they need to take utmost care of their diet and clothes because a slight negligence on their part might really be very penalizing to them if, in case of sickness or cold, they might have to skip the exam for which they had been so keenly preparing. If the students still suffer from any such ailment, they need to immediately go and get themselves checked with a DDA doctor Mr.R.Durga who is there on the campus of DDA for the diagnosis and other small health issues for the DDA students. Another medical team member-Mr.Sachin Gupta tells how the students are treated here at DDA by the medical team for minor health problems but for major health issues, DDA has got its tie-up with the hospital –Healing Touch where the students are given full medical assistance. The parents need not worry as the medical team of DDA is vigilant enough to look after the students in all situations. They have a complete medical kit including the first aid kit to give first aid supervision at the time of an unfortunate or untoward incident.
