We are sorry…

“She took care of you when you were ill

To make you fit she moved moutain and hill 

Then how could a human be so evil oh my…

Could you not hear her scream or see her cry…”

This Independence day all I feel is intense sadness

A young promising doctor at the end of a 36 hour shift is raped and killed in her own hospital and there is no voice from anyone else apart from doctors and select few…

In all my medico groups I saw the support and understanding to her plight and anger and sadness but everywhere else it was just another independence day with a message with our flag. 

As a Bharatiya I am glad that we have reached this position in the world that we are treated well and especially Indian doctors are respected all over the world! but…

But there is no one to feel sad about the poor young doctor who was treated worse than an animal and I am sure that if one day if a big mob is coming for any one of us, no one will come to rescue you. 

I have understood in the life with a thousands of friends in social media, a doctor has only his or her own family and close friends. In most aspects he or she is alone…

He or she may feel bad when you are not well or do not respond to his or her treatment, he or she will suffer with you, be happy when you are happy but when he or she himself is sad, he or she must put up a smiling face and take care of your troubles.

If he or she cannot contain or control his or her emotions then he or she is known to have attitude or the common comment would come in the Google review, “He or she did not talk or behave with me properly”

With conditions of the duty room worse than a pigsty and absolute worst restrooms which is the norm for any great duty room; I am surprised that humans who are going to be doctors still carry on…

With all these I am amazed at the mental and physical strength which my juniors who are interns still have to do their job everyday with a smile and hope…

Remember that those who did this to the poor young doctor are wicked men; as Chanakya used to say, “There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly and the sting of the scorpion but the wicked man is saturated with it”
