Doctors need special treament for their ailing soul!!

The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.

One recent incident that has taken place in Bihar (India) where some bodyguards shot at some junior doctors in Gaya Medical College and Hospital. Reason is unknown. Who was at fault is still mysterious. Whatever the reason be prima facie shows that actions done by bodyguards were out of frustration. When you see the conditions of your ward worsening in a government hospital and doctors pay no heed to your repeated requests even the weakest can collect strength to do what the bodyguards did. I strongly support the courage shown by the bodyguards for I have also been a victim of the same circumstances. My one year niece was admitted in Patna Medical College and Hospital with a serious heart disease. When I went to the doctor on duty to request him to see the baby who was feeing breathless, the doctor over there treated so inhuman that anybody can shoot him provided he would have the guts. Had I been had a pistol I would have done the same what the bodyguards have done. I was with my niece for a week there praying each minute to get rid of these doctors. Meseems doctors nowadays enjoy watching dying people in hospitals. They are so insensitive that sometimes I feel they have no hearts. Doctors are criminals in the guise of white coats. My niece died after a few months but the wound still persists on my heart. Today , I hate the doctors most. Wherever you see you will find that doctors are quite insincere towards their duties. Either they are just passing time in government hospitals or they are making money in their own clinics. Medical services have become a business now. I wrote one letter to the Chief Minister of Bihar suggesting him a few measures he must take to improve the conditions in the hospitals but in vain. Mr. Nitish Kumar did not feel even to reply the letter to me. I had suggested him to introduce one paper of Moral Education in Medical Colleges. And those who show sensitiveness towards humanity should be given degrees only. I remember one famous quotation at this point of time of a great philosopher that universities are turning out educated barbarians is correct to its each letter. Today medical colleges are turning out only barbarians. Right from kids level those who wish to become doctors have desire to earn money , repute and nothing else. Nobody thinks of human services.

On a small issue doctors go on strike. They paralyze the entire medical system. I am shocked to see how people bear with these things. They really do not understand what is happening or they do not want to understand. They have closed their eyes or they are really blind. Doctors are demanding to bring some act for their protection. Is there no need to bring some act for protecting common man from these demons in white coats?

Today we are trying to touch the sky in the field of Science and Technology. We are going into the Space to explore new opportunities to let life exist. For whom? Humanity is wounded. It is crying. Scientists world over are researching on new remedies to cure ailments and diseases. Nobody is researching on how to heal souls, how to improve morality, how to put hearts into human beings. Environmentalists, social activists, reformers, feminists are making worldwide discussions on many issues. However, no social activist dares look into ailing hearts of humanity. This is high time to ponder over how we can be human first and then other things. This is the time of greatest moral conflict in human history. Beware !!
