Patient has to be taken up for with proper care.  In the present day scenario, it has become a myth. Patients go for treatment to hospitals only after they consider it necessary since all the preventive measures followed does not give desired results. They go there with the confidence that they will get proper care and, of course, treatment. In medicine, every disease is not curable but in most cases, good care is more effective.
