Odd Spot Medics' powwow leads to bowwow An unusually large number of cross-labelled cars of recent vintage were sighted clustered in a parking lot at the BIA on Monday prompting wild speculation that medical personnel were at the ready at the airport to take charge of a large number of invalids and casualties of some calamity being flown in. It was found out on inquiry, however, that the platoon of medics and spouses that poured out of the terminal building were all returning from a trip over the weekend in an affluent South East Asian country where they had purportedly engaged in serious deliberation on how to, among other malaises suffered by children, alleviate conditions such as "nearly 14 per cent of children.... are stunted". When matters relating to the health of the nation are concerned let us be sporty and not make much of ethics and morality by probing into who sponsored the jaunt and the proportion of funding that went into it and, more so, how the sponsors had ensured for themselves quick returns for their investment from these known 'good prescribers' of (medicinal) drugs. |
