Many years back family physicians gave all advices and also visited the patients home when required. However, this system is not available now, except in a case where a relative or close friend is a doctor. Now people need to visit private clinics or hospital OPD for any health advice which is time consuming and costly, as the person will have to pay for each visit to the clinic irrespective of the gravity of concern. In order to avoid this hassle people practice self-medication or take advice from local pharmacy stores, which has its negative repercussions.
