Diary 402: Health talk by a medical doctor

One Saturday afternoon in October 2011, I was invited by a friend to attend a health talk on treatment of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

I thought it was organised by an NGO society as the speaker is the President of that society.

It was not. The organiser was a company promoting fruit juice for good health.

Each guest was asked to pay RM10 as entrance fee. Fair enough, one needs to rent the venue.

The speaker was a well-known medical doctor who is knowledgeable about cardiovascular disease and cancer.

His talk was entertaining with all his body languages as well as interesting oral presentation.

His talk provided knowledge to all laymen should know to maintain good health.

At time, he emphasized the importance of vitamin C.

He did not touch on the products promoted by the company, which happened to be rich in Vit C.

He left immediately after the talk.

This was followed by product promotion by the organising company.

I also left before the juice product promotion started.
