[Status Epilepticus]

My point here is that in a country like Nepal where people can't afford to eat nutritious food what is the point prescribing a selective COX-2 inhibitor instead of prescribing some nutritious food. After all these new drugs are very expensive and they are out of reach of the General Public.

A similar thing happened when i was discussing about the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis. One of my teachers asked me the question "What is the relevance of demonstrating M tuberculosis using a PCR machine instead of going on a therapeutic trial on the basis of the signs and symptoms?"

As all of us know here in Nepal we spend almost 90% we earn on food. The remaining 10% for everything else. So is it better to send our children to private schools instead of using drugs like selective COX-2 inhibitors?
