New Delhi:
In India, doctors are often treated like demigods but a recent case at AIIMS once again brought to fore the ugly face of the ‘life saving’ profession.
Pawan Kumar, father of a 6-year-old, recently alleged that a Delhi AIIMS doctor removed both her girl’s kidney during a surgery. The girl has been on dialysis since March 14.
The case is following all thorough procedures but will justice prevail?
This is not the first time, several cases from time to time have found place in media reports but in vain.
Incidents of negligence leading to patients’ deaths have been reported again and again.
Who can forget the botched sterilisation surgery deaths in Chhattisgarh?
In the November incident, 12 women lost their lives after being wrongly operated in Chhattisgarh.
Later, the Bilaspur high court granted bail to Dr R K Gupta, the main accused in the Chhattisgarh sterilization surgery case.
In another exclusive news by a daily, it was reported that Delhi doctors are charging huge sum of money to cure homosexuality in the national capital. Really?
Then News Nation in its exclusive sting operations Jonk 1 and 2 exposed the bloodsuckers of healthcare sector in India!
The revelations also highlights the perils of a profession which if go wrong can affect the masses badly.
We showed a doctor who prescribes medicines or treatments they might not otherwise recommend, a test lab technician who directs you to a senior manager for commission, a pharma company which pays huge sum of money to doctors for bringing in patients- well, the entire episode is completely shocking and unjustified to those who blindly trust their doctors!
Anyways, medical profession is soon losing the streak but does it help as people have no other option to turn to but become victims at the hand of the ‘merciless’ killers.
