SYLHET, Bangladesh — Good lessons are hardly practiced in the national life of Bangladesh. The conscience of the nation appears to be perpetually sleeping--a national stupor that unfortunately affects the health of the nation's people.Take the example of 50-year-old Rahima Begum, who went to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) in Dhaka--the largest public orthopedic hospital of the country--in mid-June for treatment to her elbow after falling from the roof of a one-storey building. The doctors at the hospital ignored her when admitted and the following morning, Rahima was released. After four days, she went back to the same hospital due to her unrelenting pain. Staff members at the hospital discouraged her attendants from admitting her, frightened them about further deterioration to her condition because of the public doctors' negligence, and instead, the brokers encouraged her and her relatives to visit a private clinic nearby, assuring her of better treatment there at the cost of 10,000 takas (US$142).
