Why are doctor losing their resprct?
(Shaheena Naeem, Karachi)
Doctors with uniform
Doctors and patients have a lif-long relationship.people need doctors when they become sick. Doctors treat them till they get better or they die,depending on the severity of the illness,complications of their ailments,or in the case of failure of treatment and intervention. In the majority of cases, patients and their families are always thankful to doctors and their medical team.
The medical profession enjoys this unique relationship where you get paid service and at the same time are treated like a god and goddess.unfortunately,during the current Covid -19 crisis ,this type of situation seems to be getting worse . patients and the public lost their confidence to doctors .Rumours are rife that doctors are killing patients, wrongly diagnosing Covid -19 and even selling human organs to make money.
Some doctors because involved in taking commission,a practice in which a doctor expects a commission after referring a patient to surgeon or physicians.There are surgeond and physicians who charge hefty fees from patients .in a country where 50 percent of people living below the poverty line.
We are producing technician-dependent surgeons and physicians who are guided by pharmaceutical-industry representatives who are partners in medical crime. These prescriptions of multiple drug therapy have no scientific basis not pharmacological justification and doctors who make such prescriptions are nothing but glorified quacks with postgraduate diplomas and appointment as faculty members at Public or private medical colleges.
In the past few decades,many private hospital owners have established medical colleges without fulfilling the basic criteria of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) and hence,these medical colleges are producing doctors who are good for nothing
Many MBBS doctors have joined the civil services , politics and the electronic media as TV anchors.its very unfortunate that qualified MBBS doctors are serving as members of industry , agriculture excise , taxation,police etc.They use the title of doctor with their name..
Recently,a doctor become a victim for a callousness of her fellow doctors. A female physician died in Hyderabad in her third pregnancy because of unhelpful health care system.
The medical profession should review the practice of medicine and unethical conduct of doctors.Every doctor should question his or her practice and try to understand why people begun to hate doctors.
