It is rightly said that “Health is wealth”. Health is one of the greatest gift given by God to man. But human beings do not bother to take care for gifts. It is a human psychology that people only care for those things for which they have to pay. The more precious the thing is the more people care. May be this is the reason we see peoples playing with health of others or even with their own.
The role of a doctor is very crucial in our society. He is well-educated person of the society who pays attention to the health issues and also act as a main body in controlling transmission of diseases. Our society mainly consists of poor peoples who don’t have knowledge about diseases and other common health problems. So it is duty of a doctor to look after them. But unfortunately this does not happen, many doctors in villages and small towns use this noble profession as business and consider their patients as customers. They are, in sense, playing with lives of innocent people who come to them with some hope.
Those doctors use same syringes on many patients and play major role in transmitting diseases like Hepatitis B and C which have become much common in our country and even most dangerous disease, AIDS, can be transmitted through this route. Doctors also perform circumcision but they don’t care for hygiene. They don’t have any special room for this type of minor surgical procedures. And they perform procedures on a couch placed within their clinic or if there is little space in clinic they even do not hesitate to do on bench placed outside the clinic where there is so much dust, vehicles running besides etc. On the other side they even don’t bother to sterilize their instruments. These all conditions may cause infections or many other life threatening diseases like tetanus and sepsis. Nowadays a new trend is seen that is competition among doctors. it looks strange but its true. They are giving high dose antibiotics and cortisol to each patient, that can give immediate relief to patients but there are long term hazards of using these drugs. that is why these should be reserved for critical patients.
On the other side, people themselves are also careless for their health. Many people go to quacks or homeopaths for their treatment. Some even don’t bother to go for any treatment. They take medicines from a person running a medical store who is just matric pass or may be even less educated.
Such doctors are using their degree to earn money and government should take some step against them and they shouldn't be allowed to practice and take lives of innocent people.
