Riteish Deshmukh On Capitalism & Pharma: We Equate Doctors With God, Take Pills Without Questioning
In an unique interview with ETimes, the actor shared if he’s okay with popping drugs or if he restrains himself.He stated, “I’m not a pill-happy guy. I don’t usually pop pills, but if I compare myself to Genelia, then I’m a pill-happy guy because she doesn’t take a pill at all. Pills that are necessary for your body, like daily vitamins and D3 and B12, etc., we take religiously every morning. But, paracetamol and all, we tend to avoid it.”
Talking concerning the seriousness of his position and the true-life implications, he stated, “The kind of research that goes into finding a cure for a particular disease costs money. But the multitude of profit that the pharma seeks for the research they do is just too much. And it weighs too much on common people. They are not able to afford the medicines. There are so many people I see on video who say, ‘We’d rather die than pay for medicines because, anyway, this is eventual death by paying.’ So that affordability is something that needs to be checked.”
“And that goes into let’s do insurance coverage. But then, medical insurance coverage, medicines, hospitals, this complete nexus is one other ball recreation altogether. And in all probability that may be Pill half two. But once we discuss this sequence, Pill, we equate drugs and Mandir ka Prasad in the identical mild. We consume it without questioning. We do not even know what goes into a medication, whether or not the efficacy, the efficiency is right. We should not even too certain. I all the time say that the one factor we must always do is get a physician whom you’ll be able to belief blindly. At least he offers you the fitting drugs,” he added.
