Doctors do not recommend a whole-body checkup. But why this practice is popular in Nepal? ­

Whenever you feel uneasy and weak, what comes to your mind first? For many, it’s instinctive to find relief by visiting a nearby pharmacy and obtaining medication recommended by a pharmacist, even without a doctor’s prescription. It is only when the medicines do not work that we go see a doctor. Sometimes people even prefer to undergo a whole-body checkup before seeing a doctor know what is wrong with them. This trend has gained popularity in recent times.

With easy access to the internet, it has become evident that anyone is tempted to find solutions to every physical problem on their own. They become so blindly devoted to every content found on the internet that they do not even consider it necessary to consult a doctor for any health problem.
