Question Description
Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.During the last two decades physicians and mental health professionals have begun to discover the limitations of the western allopathic medicine.The focus on pathology and disease rather than on prevention, the destructiveness of so many pharmaceutical and surgical remedies, the separation of physical and emotional problems, the assumption of an asymmetrical relationship between an all powerful physician and a submissive patient have led clinicians and researchers to look for answers in other traditions and cultures.It is indeed disappointing, in this context, that in India with its long tradition of the body mind continuum health efforts are so largely dependent on the allopathic system which is now being increasingly rejected by western medical scientists. However, any wide open, fuzzy field like holistic health offers abundant opportunity for fraud and overpromise. The new paradigm of health is not a license for quackery. Holistic health is a perspective, not a specialization or a discipline.The body-mind is a process, so is disease a process, so is healing or making whole.It was discovered that it is not a simple physical change but rather the state of mind that is the key to health. This state has been called restful alertness, passive volition, deliberate letting. Cumulative stresses seem to melt under this seemingly paradoxical state, restoring natural flow to the body mind whirlpool.Clearly, health services, as we know them, are essential but equally clearly, they are not enough. There is an urgent need to blend the ancient traditional ways with some of the discoveries of modern medicine to make for a truly healthy society. The first and most important area deserving urgent attention is Child Health Care.Conventionally, it is the doctor and the hospitals that are seen today as the center of all health care; the mother and the child are at the periphery. It is perhaps necessary to see the mother as the center of Child Health Care. It is she who is the highest level health worker not by training or in qualifications but in time and love, in the special knowledge of her own children, in the breadth of integrated services she provides and in the permanent presence she brings to her child's life. This indeed was the basis of the ancient Child Care Practices and it is well that, it is being rediscovered. The implications of this are rather manifold: Mother must impart the knowledge, skills and techniques required for her to do the job well. The old civilizations did this through word of mouth from one generation to another. Modern civilizations can improve on this but the essence will remain the same.Q. The passage brings out the difference in all of the following cases excepta)modern and ancient role of mother in Child Health Careb)ancient Indian and modern western system of medicinec)treatment of body alone and of body and mind togetherd)treatment of the patient and of the doctorCorrect answer is option 'D'.
