"Today, in the name of 'Advanced Technology', we are only diverting our mind from our pain and suffering. 'Scopes' have increased the scope a lot. When something is used excessively, it becomes the cause of disaster.
Knee pain has become very common among women in their 50s. People are busy with their lives, using ointments or oils.

Through a compelling plea for change, 'First do no harm' envisions a future where patient safety stands at the forefront, ensuring that every life entrusted to the hands of modern medicine is protected with the utmost dedication, compassion, and integrity."
