Doctors got protection by Law…but not by Relatives of Patient.



Just few days back…the new law came with…
Provision of punishment…fine and imprisonment…
to a person or persons attacking a Doctor.
And this is recent news…
Relatives of patient after sad demise of patient…
became rowdy and they physically assaulted a Doctor.
Physically assault is the word to be used…
But the fact may be they must have literally bitten the Doctor or Doctors…as I am aware of the incidence taken place in Raigad District last year.
Doctors reacts on such issues…One day strike…Protest…meetings…discussion for few days…and silence.
My appeal to all concerned social associations including medical associations…think seriously on issue…and its various aspects…like public awareness…and implementation of Law.
If society accepts the accident of any type…as an unavoidable event…and starts treating the issue of attack on Doctors like an accident…then there is no further discussion on issue.
