The word DOCTOR reminds me of the days when my father argued with me to opt for Pre-Medical subjects in FSc. His strongest point to convince me was that the doctor earns a great RESPECT in the society. But I was never born to be a Doctor rather an Engineer. The line was drawn long time back in my childhood when I de-assembled my battery operated toy to discover its inner world and found it interesting. Finally, he let me go my way.
His words "the doctor earns a great RESPECT in the society " always remained in my mind and urge me to ask many questions to myself like would I be able to earn the same respect in the society or not...how can I achieve that…and list goes on and most of the time I failed to satisfy myself against this claim.
Imagine a situation when you or your loved one’s life is at stake and the DOCTOR comes to your survival...The RESPECT for a DOCTOR is unavoidable in this case. Now think of the situation when you or your loved one’s life is at stake and the DOCTOR goes on STRIKE...just to get more MONEY as their livelihood. Would a DOCTOR earn a GREAT respect in the society.?
The recent strike by Young Doctors Association of Punjab that lasted for couple of days has left many patients unattended in the hours of sufferings and eventually few of them died due to lack of treatment as a result of their STRIKE. Now many questions come in my mind that had the moral values of their profession changed now..? Can a DOCTOR really let somebody die for the sake of a pay rise and few perks..?
