                      |  These men and women are 
                        brought in against their will and taken kicking and screaming 
                        to the wards, sometimes dragged by their hair or the scruff 
                        of their neck, in a most inhuman manner. |

                      | How a child grows varies from child 
                        to child as parents well know. While one five-year-old 
                        may be rather plump, well above the average weight for 
                        his/her age, another may be small and thin. And yet when 
                        it comes to medicine, they are both five-year-olds. |

                      | There are many different types of ear 
                        problems and there are also a corresponding number of 
                        root causes. Some are serious, while others are not; and 
                        since it may be difficult to tell, it always pays to have 
                        a doctor take a look, says Dr. Devanand Jha, a consultant 
                        ENT specialist. If left without treatment, it could lead 
                        to serious complications such as irreversible loss of 
                        hearing. |
