Think before you blame the doctor


As a surgeon, nothing gives us more pleasure than seeing our patient go home hale and hearty, but while doing so, lot of time during our work/profession we get into a realm of unknown. There are times we take a professional call which at times can go wrong also. For these, people try to attack us but people don't understand what were the conditions in which we took the call. just think of the other side, how the patient would have been benefited from it, had it gone right. We don't take these calls just like this. The calls are taken only after thoroughly evaluating risks v/s benefits. There is a lot of time a person has been suffering from long unbearable pain which otherwise make the patient's life miserable. We try whatever is in our hands to give the patient relief from the pain. 

At times, some negligence can happen but 99.9% of the time this is not the case. And if we show any negligence among our patients it affects our profession too. As a doctor, it is our duty to cure the patient and we try our level best treatment which we can give to our patient. Our profession does not allow us to cheat our patients and we try to be friend with them so that they can feel comfortable and tell us what they are feeling.

So before we say or form any opinion about a doctor we should always try and see others point of view. Don't misinterpret the doctor always but try to think like them.
