Delayed Deduction Tactics HDFC bank build their customer base by roping in corporate/salary account holders.

Pregnant Women in Kerala get more medicines

This post is just a comparison and not to be taken as medical advice. The below comparison is made with a pregnant woman in Kerala with another pregnant woman from Kerala who is residing at UK. Does this mean hospital management/ doctors/ medical reps/ pharma companies are fooling people in Kerala? Or Are they giving this to boost our confidence ? To make it appear as if they are caring ? I talked about this to some of my friends and here are some of the replies These tablets are cheap and you get reimbursements, have it. If you check different sources from Internet (though this data is not gathered from internet) you will get different results. I was too like this initially but blah blah blah. You are mad. If you think like this you can't live. Another reply I got is that if fluid is less in scan then the doctor will prescribe scan every week.
