Editorial : Doctors are NOT
Divine gods
People , society
treated doctors as gods. Nowadays by their own unfair practices doctors
themselves have proved otherwise. Their governing bodies have failed to
punish their deviant colleagues. Doctors are frequently
violating their oath. It is high time to bell the cat.
Gone are the days when doctors used to treat
poor patients free of cost / subsidized rate ,
missionary doctors giving free
treatment to poor. There are many allegations
against doctors / hospitals about
cheating / improper service. When doctors / hospital managements are
running the MEDICAL PROFESSION as a business , they should be
brought under law just like other businesses. Hospitals &
doctors are accountable to their
customers / patients for the services given. They must give proper billing
with breakups not consolidated one. They must maintain proper profit & loss account and
must pay taxes to the government. For the violations of the above , doctors
& hospitals must be legally prosecuted. When doctors & hospitals endangers the life of a customer / patient
, they must be charged for homicide.
Few doctors & hospitals ,
who are actually doing noble service to
poor & needy shouldd be given tax
exemptions, government subsidies. Even such doctors / hospitals are accountable
to patients & government. Nobody is
above law. If a doctor & hospital
is complying with law , why they are afraid of it. Karnataka state doctors
& hospitals must explain to public.

1. Facts of the case:
Medical field is basically meant not
as a PROFESSION to earn profit but as a
SERVICE to humanity. Except for honest few doctors ,
honest few medical hospitals , Many doctors , Hospitals in india
are running the medical profession like greedy businessmen to make
quick bucks. They are grossly violating oath of DOCTOR.
Many doctors have utilized subsidized education by government
by way of preferential medical seat on the basis of caste , religion ,
etc , by way of scholarships , education loans , etc. Many hospitals have
utilized government subsidy while setting up hospitals. If at all doctors
are not inclined to serve humanity but only interested to
earn money , they should go to other professions.

OATH FORGOTTEN by Doctors
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability
and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of
those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is
mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all
measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment
and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine
as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh
the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know
not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another
are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for
their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially
must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save
a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this
awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my
own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever
chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the
person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these
related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for
prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of
society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of
mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life
and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I
always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long
experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
