I have seen a jolly doctor in my childhood.
He had unusual diagnostic and treatment method. His dispensary was always overcrowded.
He will catch the patient by collar and shake him and will ask him in a thunderous voice,"What have you done?"
Now in retrospect, I realise that he was in fact checking body resistance and mind alertness of patient before giving medicine.
Secondly, I had noticed an unusual method of treatment. He will write medicine in code words. The medicine was to be collected from compounder. The compounder was told to grind all tablets into a mixed powder and to prepare equal doses.
The patients were never told what was diagnose. They never knew which medicines were prescribed.
They felt recovered 25% the moment doctor caught them by caller and shook them up. In next 24 hours they used to feel completely or 90% recovered.
