Ordinary dealings, there will be cheating. That is stated in the Bhāgavata, mayaiva vyavahari. The sooner you get out of this scene is better. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Prabhupāda: That is my opinion. But as soon as you go to a medical man, especially in your country, first of all you have to give blood. Immediately. (laughter) One ounce of blood immediately. First business. And then other injection. Because I underwent so many medical examination, I have got experience. For my immigration.

I think, three or four times I was under health examination, and blood-taking, and injection. Of course, it is not very painful. (chuckles) That arrangement is there. But the business is like that, "First of all give your blood, then talk of other things." Better to die without a doctor. (laughter) That's the best principle. Don't call any doctor. Simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and die peacefully.

Revatīnandana: But what about when you're not going to die? What about when you have some problems that's not fatal. Then who do you call?

Prabhupāda: Then go take injection. What can be done? (laughter) There is no alternative.

Devotee (1): (indistinct) . . . body. How long will you be feeling bad from the injection?

Prabhupāda: If it remains simply for a while, that is sufficient to kill you. There is no question of how long.

Devotee (1): It's just that you don't look very . . . you don't look like your normal self. There's no . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Sometimes they do business, simply water they inject. Yes. Simply water and take fee. They know there is no necessity of medicine; still, they will inject some water, distilled water, and take the fees.

Devotee (1): There are some people, doctors . . .

Prabhupāda: I have seen the doctors and some, I mean to say, ordinary man, illiterate: "What kind of treatment you want? Injection or medicine?" So naturally, he will say: "The best one. I want to . . ." "Then you have to take injection."

Revatīnandana: Or both. You might get both.

Prabhupāda: Yes. I have seen, they have spoken like that. Because the patient will think, "Oh, if I take injection, I'll be very nicely . . . very quickly cured." He will canvass like that. Because if he gives a bottle of medicine, that will not be very costly. But injection in his hand, he'll at least five rupees, that much. So he'll canvass like that, "What kind of treatment you want, injection or ordinary medicine?" So he'll say: "Sir, best medicine I want." "Then you take injection." That's all.

It is a fact that the whole human civilization is a society of cheaters and cheated. That's all. Any field. Māyaiva vyāvahārike (SB 12.2.3). The whole world in this Kali-yuga: māyaiva vyāvahārike. Vyāvahārike means ordinary dealings, there will be cheating. Ordinarily, there will be cheating. Daily affairs. Not to speak of very great things. Ordinary dealings, there will be cheating. That is stated in the Bhāgavata, māyaiva vyāvahārike.

The sooner you get out of this scene is better. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So long you live, you simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and preach Kṛṣṇa's glories, and that's all. Otherwise, you should know that this is dangerous place. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ (SB 10.14.58). In every step there is danger.
