YOU ARE A MURDERER!

 

YOU ARE A MURDERER!

You are a doctor, and yet you let someone die…just like that!

All you cared for was your fees… You were only bothered about your bloody fees…

You should be ashamed of yourself. Your degree should be torn and then burnt into the fire and your PMDC registration should be canceled right away and you should be hanged till death…because you were part of this murder!

I am a Pakistani and these above lines are wrenched from the bottom of my heart. I just found out that a woman died in a hit and run case yesterday, in Karachi, near Sea View. I am sure you all must be aware of this tragic incident; I am not going to focus on the mad driver who didn't stop his car and instead, ran all over her and didn't even stop for one second to look back at what he had done … He's a murderer and he will rot in hell…

I am not going to comment on that bloody desperate thief who came forward to see the severely injured woman on the road…And in the pretense of providing a helping hand, he STOLE her mobile phone…without even thinking for one second that her phone could have been used for locating her family…or her family would have died a thousand deaths when they would have tried to contact her and her phone would have been turned off because that's what thieves do, right? No… I am not commenting on this either…

I am commenting and condemning this DOCTOR who refused to treat her when the eye witnesses and some police constables took her to the nearest medical center. This DOCTOR had the audacity to refuse any kind of treatment because all she was worried about was the fact that the woman's family was not there and her main question was that "Who would pay my fees?" That patient was dying… I am sure no one could have saved her…but at least some HUMANITY could have been expected from that DOCTOR…right?

My hands are cold right now, my eyes blurry with tears…I am mourning the death of humanity in our nation… our nation has stooped to the lowest levels and I really don't know what to do now…my head is pounding with the images of this accident site and some flashbacks of the sanitary worker that died when THREE DOCTORS refused to treat him in Umerkot few months ago…but above all…my heart is HURT at the inhumanity of all these doctors… It's killing me because I am a Doctor myself and we take OATHS to protect people. We have pledged to keep people's safety and benefits before our own…and in cases of emergency…we are bound to come up front and take control…without thinking about money or any other superficial things!

It is my humble request to all, who read this post… Please do something… This nation is dying… Please please please become someone's light instead of prying it away from them…

To all the doctors out there, don't forget that YOU were bestowed with the power of healing… YOU were entrusted with the amanat of taking care of people before your own needs… YOU are going to be held accountable too!

Think a thousand times before you refuse treatment to any patient next time…
