With the arrival of physiotherapists in Stalin with You camps, people have started to become aware of this medical system.
Physiotherapist Dr. John Vincent said:
Stalin with You camps are being held in all places across Tamil Nadu. Many people go and get medicines for blood pressure, blood sugar levels and some diseases in the camps.
At the same time, the elderly people tell the physiotherapists there about their physical problems and find a solution. They cannot be treated in the camp. There is no facility for that. Therefore, they are asked to come to the Nalam Kakkum Stalin mega medical camp that is held every Saturday. Or they are advised to go to the nearest district or taluka hospitals. Currently, under the Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam Scheme, medicines for diabetes and high blood pressure are given directly by nurses to people of over 60 years in their houses. At that time, the physiotherapists visit homes under this program to treat those who have already suffer with paralyses due to high blood pressure.
They visit a house once a month and provide medical treatment to the affected people.
The people in that house record the video on their cell phones and continue to provide daily treatment to the affected people. This provides an opportunity for continued treatment at home. After a month, the doctor visits the house again and assesses the condition of the affected people. By then, their condition will have improved somewhat.
In this way, a doctor will visit 10 houses in 1 day.
He will stay in the hospital for 2 days. He will visit the patients' homes for 4 days in a week. Those who need treatment are called to the nearby district, taluka and local hospitals and treated.
Therefore, awareness is created at the Stalin with you camp on paralysis and how to prevent the disease. Usually, high blood pressure causes paralysis of the limbs. Or the nervous system is affected due to head injury.
Many people do not know that they have high blood pressure. When they come to the medical camps, they are given medicine for high blood pressure. They can get it regularly in the hospital or get the medicine at home under the Illam Thedi Maruthuvam scheme. If they take medicine for high blood pressure regularly, they can avoid paralysis. Generally, anxiety, anger, eating habits, lack of exercise, etc. are the causes of high blood pressure.
Therefore, keeping balanced mind, practicing exercise regularly and meditation can prevent high blood pressure, he said.
