To Mr. santhemant 

I have come into contact with number of doctors who have dedicated their life for the service of poor people. They serve at in trust hospitals and serve without taking any fees. The Hospitals run by Satya Sai Trust is the best examples to see the devoted doctors working.

Thanks NL for being a shade in this dessert of criticism we docs face esp on our bills while we all know that hardly a small percentage of the total hospital bill is the docs fees! You know in a city hospital my hard working cardiac surgeon used to get 7500 rs per bypass surgery out of the 1 lac package which a ''trust'' hospital offerred!! Exploiting doics on all fronts is very common and they are kept as shiled for any mishap too.The wonderful thing is more are your efforts eg-asa surgeon who tries super human job of cutting out and repairing organs rather than just write medicines are the most sufferring community !! They are always blamed for the mishap and if they succeed THE GOD WHOM NOBODY HAS SEEN this unseen force gets the credit !! most of the times..we do not mind that too as we are happy that we have succeed yet another thousandth time to cut out a deadly disease or done something fruitful for the patient which no other  even docs would have done.!!

For the doctors I would say that if any group of men and women have the best opportunity to serve the mankind, that is the group of doctors.  And most of them are doing best they can do to keep the humans healthy.

please do noit be bitter about doctors.as in all professions there are some black sheep but here docs get blackened maligned very easily.Do not forget that he just recommends and you can get second opinion any time and leave him for good any time you may question him for the tests to be done .About kick backs and other things all the laws of the land while dealing with doctors are COMMERCIAL even admission is now so or based on CASTES reservations.So the society is going to rap what it has sown.The deals within doctors are within their own income  and they might be splitting it or what what we should look is whether inspite of such tremendous market forces and finacial burden of all high tech service that a doctor or his team has to provide with hanging sword of social and consumer laws over his her head ARE THEY doing the patients GOOD !!?? YES they are .older docs did not have so much know how and patient care set up Today we all are lucky to survive many deadly diseases ..many do not and many suffer even finacially ..but blame the malady NOT THOSE WHO WANT TO CURE YOU OF THEM..most of the docs are real good and professional only FOR THEIR OWN REPUTATION and even market value so most cannot bebalmed .HERE a single bad event gets magnified by us all and the media .as the burning HOT torch of all human goodness has to be acrried ONLY by doctors and Teachers type of profession--despite so much commercial forces kept against medical industry we do not have single window in any of the aspects of a hospital adminstration to be benefitted from the society laws..at all.

If we can purchase, I mean maintain, good health, it is cheap at any cost. Like any other services, the health services are also becoming costlier.

You have rightly observed that the medical care is being more and more coslty today; to the level of unreachable for the lower middle class, too.

Dear Naval Langa,
                                   It is surprising that you still enjoy a good health despite your frequent encounters with the white coats ! From the doctor who writes the prescription with out touching your body  and before you finish  relating him the symptoms of your sufferings, to the one who recommends an ultra scan and many other tests that the latest bio-medical instruments  are capable of  revealing for a fortune that only a millionaire can afford, the  legion is many. The kick backs in the trade of modern medical disgnostics and  prescription of  patented drugs of favourite companies, for a successful practitioner would be complementary to the one he earns out of a patient's consulting fees.  The noble profession once the call of learned and devoted members of society has gone to the extent of  even benefitting, by coming to the aid of criminals of the likes of  Abdul Kareem Telgi of stamp paper fame, by devious route.Not that the other competing professions that were once considered divine and noble have lagged behind ! But the doctor in our villages and  towns who once we Salammed and Namasthayed  irrespective of age, and invited to preside on all public occasions with great reverence, had become a commodity  extinct. From the Engineer who approves a road bridge constructed with lower specification to the Lawyer who chases the ambulance for their increased comforts in life, the community as a whole is infested with parasites that, to-day you have to find out your own illness and know some thing of the type of medication that is available before you go to a doctor. The exceptions are many but you have to be on guard before you choose to contact any professional. God bless us all from any serious ailment, and if it comes after 70, it is better that you fight it out and kick the bucket than make your relatives and off-springs  run from pillar to post. The Doctors require a good treatment to restore their health to pristine glory .

read my blog on doc patient relationship  three days back..medicine is a high tech high cost branch nowadyas and ''good'' doctors too believe their way of practice is over as patients want THAT type of doctors who impress and give better rooms etc. not easy diagnosis.another aspect is the balme of the misfortune of a event -a goal goes to the goal keeper who stives hard to prevent the goal-death an d  disease..other 10 are never blamed..
