Please read this and advise your friends and family! You may SAVE others' lives as advised by Dr. (Mrs.) Chandra Kanta Gosain! Incident One: A little boy died because surgeons found ants in his brain! Apparently this boy fell asleep with some sweets in his mouth or with some sweet stuff beside him. Ants soon got to him and some ants in fact crawled into his ear which somehow managed to go to his brain. When he woke up, he did not realize that ants had gone to his head. After that, he constantly complained about itchiness around his face. His mother brought him to a doctor, but the doctor could not figure out what was wrong with him. He took an X-ray of the boy and to his horror, he found a group of live ants in his skull. Since the ants were still alive, the doctor could not operate on him because the ants were constantly moving around. The boy finally died. So please be careful when leaving food stuff near your bed or when eating in bed. This might attract ants. Most importantly, NEVER you or your child eat sweets before going to bed. You or your child might attract ants while you are asleep. Incident Two: Another similar incident happened in a hospital in Taiwan . This man was warded in the hospital and was constantly warned by the nurses not to leave food stuff by his bedside because there were ants about. He did not heed their advice. Ants finally got to him. His family members said that the man constantly complained about headaches. He died and a post mortem or autopsy was done on him. Doctors found a group of live ants in his head. Apparently, the ants had been eating bits of his brain. So friends, better be safe than sorry. Never leave food stuff beside your bed you when you go to sleep. IF U Care for Someone......thenfrwrd My request. Pl forward to all groups.... more

Dear Sir, *Not only the ** Malpractices are in the **Medical Lab* while the total 90% Health Department is indulged and based at the malpractices Specially the U.P. Medical Health Department where so Manny scans had taken place and number of Chief medical Medical Officer had lost their lives. I am also the victim of the malpractices. Since I had not paid bribe so called commission against ther submitted medical Bills. My two medical bills had not been paid and lying outstanding since 2004 for Rs 11817/- and since 2005 for Rs 7880/=. the U.P. Chief Minister and the Departmental Heads are helpless and unable to take any action against the malpractitioners. V.P. Misra *76 +) Mobile No 9871501490 E-Mail ID : vpmisra@gmail.com more
