The decision to ward a person stems from the hypocritical oath;
a patient experiencing real pain has to be checked-in and diagnosed
regardless of whether the symptoms are real or not.
The best equipment in the world cannot tell a doctor whether a
patient is malingering, but to err on the side of caution is always
the safest move.
The bane of hospitals is when too many of these kind of patients
floods hospitals. Patients who are probably PERFECTLY FINE still
demand to be kept overnight for examination...just to be on the
safe side. Relatives demand medicine for non-existent illness; it's
call psychological illnesses- gaining confidence in the form of
treatment and medicine must be administered to re-assure the
patient that he/she is FINE, when in truth, most were PROBABLY FINE
in the first place.
The worst thing is that these are the people who take up the class
C wards meant for the lower-income group.
