Doctors’ Day or Money Makers’ Day

Today is Doctors' Day and everyone must be thanking their doctors for keeping them healthy and curing their diseases. But all I would like to say is 'Wake up and See the Reality'.
What Doctors' are doing is just their job, the way you are doing yours. In fact they are exactly like fake pundits who generate fear of god, death or misfortune (some big disease) and send us to different temples for some 'Totkas' (pathologies for Tests).  It is nothing but the chain of money makers who suggest one after other to keep the profit flow consistent in their pockets. This profession is no more a noble profession and doctors do not deserve respect for what they are doing, especially in India.
Being a daughter of pharmacist I have always been close to doctor fraternity and know all their fake practices & money making schemes. They not only threaten the patients but also pharmacists and medical representatives and take handsome commissions (or rather bribes). Specialist Doctors take jaanlewa fees for surgery & also on their every visit to patient's ward and jhola chhaap doctors give jaanlewa medicines that are higher dose to give temporary relief in any disease or infection. These days going to doctor is not saving life, it is almost risking a life and pocket too. Gone are the days when doctors had kind heart and respectful image. It is not just the fault of doctors; it is the fault of system. Becoming doctor is not easy at all; one has to invest atleast 10years of his life in studying and lakhs of money. With the burden of this heavy investment one has to earn back the returns and it is possible with these immoral practices only. This issue was raised in Satyamev Jayate also but got forgotten in a day or so.
So today on the occasion of National Doctors' Day, I request the government to bring a change in the system for a healthy nation. And please all of you just take doctors as professionals and not as god on earth. Though all doctors are not the same, there are exceptions too but you please try to have awareness about the general diseases and medicines, to cross check the treatment given by doctor.
Happy Doctors' Day to the kind doctors who are still existing somewhere.

  1. True.. doctors shud not be considered as almighty or a mahatma.. after all its their job and they aren't doing it for free. Clinics and hospitals are just moneymaking ventures, but we have to believe them and their totkas(test). But not all those test are meant for burning holes in our pockets, who knows, if many of those test saved so many lives too.
