If that is true your solution might work. But the TRUE problem is not what you say. Doctors are highly educated, highly intelligent, ethically trained humans (as a result their conscience should be clear enough to tell them what is wrong and what is right!). They forget the ethical demands of their job and behave like a greedy layman who doesn't have any conscience control. There are only two solutions to change this happening. 1) Severe punishment 2) When students are recruited to study medicine importance should be given not only for their intelligence level but also for their social and moral aptitude. Not all intelligent students are fit to be doctors!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10528990.post-36793567863902421432012-05-10T20:30:11.821+05:302012-05-10T20:30:11.821+05:30I am not justifying an unethical act.

We need to provide practical solutions - not just pontificate about the problem.<br /><br />My worldview is that most doctors <br />( like most humans ) are decent people, and would perform the right action , rather than the wrong one, when they have a choice.Dr Aniruddha Malpanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05693466221743076739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10528990.post-20354657742682931862012-05-10T18:01:07.835+05:302012-05-10T18:01:07.835+05:30Dr, when you say patients should properly reward t...Dr, when you say patients should properly reward their physician, you should not also forget that you live in a society where there is a Himalayan difference between the rich and the poor. The pay scale of any job depends not only on the talent of the employee but also on the financial capability of the employer. Majority of our Indian population could not afford medical expenses that are too high! Are you aware that medical expenses are one among the various factors which forces people to commit suicide in India?<br /><br />Modern version of Hippocratic oath has these lines in it ‘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 think doctors do not have to follow this SUPERHUMAN oath but at least let them kill their covetousness and strive hard to be humans. <br /><br />The solution you have given is really good but the ‘argument’ you have put forward to justify the unethical act of your medical community is too unhealthy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10528990.post-34844054526371881652012-05-10T18:00:35.539+05:302012-05-10T18:00:35.539+05:30Dear Dr,

Doctors are hum...Dear Dr,<br /><br />I do not get the logic.<br /><br />Doctors are humans - OK<br /><br />You have said something about superhumans - who are they a new sub-species?<br /><br />Dr, until now I have never seen a physician who is begging for his food or who is not able to satisfy his/her basic requirements. Do not justify the greediness of doctors or for that matter any human being! Policemen and politician taken bribes and what is wrong when a doctor does the same? You have a great point to justify an immoral act inorder to defend your medical community! The problem here is not the insufficient remuneration, the real problem is avarice!<br /><br />The article in Times of India says ‘What's worse, some of India's top medicine experts - some are even head of departments - from the country's most iconic medical institutes like PGI Chandigarh; CMC Vellore; AIIMS Delhi and St John's Medical College, Bangalore had signed these recommendations.’ – So as per your view all these India’s top medicine experts are lacking proper remuneration!!!!!! True, that is why they drive Mercedes Benz!<br /><br />Our society has come to a point where we argue that majority of people are immoral and that is the norm. Persons who strive hard to hold on to moral values are designated as super humans and kept aside as a separate species! True, a hungry person will only steal the food. If a doctor who is not paid enough can resort to illegal means to increase his income why not one-third of Indian population living under the poverty line loot and do gruesome murder to increase their survival? What is so wrong in it? They are not like financially gifted doctors; many do not have food to satisfy their hunger, a place to stay, health care or educationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
