People of lower classes, according to Dr.Thakre more often than not don’t have the vocabulary or the aptitude to understand the changes happening to the woman as they have other life-altering choices to make. But nevertheless she states that people from lower classes often go for full body checkups and ensure that the partner is healthy. Dr. Thakre quotes an article that she had once read in a leading newspaper where a wife put her husband and children through great misery before committing suicide. The husband, later stated that he was happy about the actions of his wife since it caused a great deal of sorrow and misery for his children and himself. Dr. Thakre goes on to say that she feels that such patients, as the wife mentioned in the article require the most assistance from medical professionals so that the patient and the family does not have to go through such tragic times. Dr. Thakre feels that government is doing a lot for the welfare of the poor but not enough for the middle class. She feels that government should provide more towards the urban classes by providing them subsidies as it does for the poor because they have better capacity to grasp what is happening to the patient. She also states that the existing welfare plans provided to the poor are well put and implemented. According to the doctor another solution in tackling the problem is to setup more women health care centers, across the country and social classes so that more patients are treated and more issues are resolved quicker.
