Doctors = Lawyers?
April 7, 2009
I have been thinking long on this issue of doctors being seeing in the negative. I have had a few bad experiences with lawyers, but with doctors the experience has not always been so good. With lawyers we tend to give a blanket statement that they are bad and from what i see, a few “bad apple” lawyers make the whole lot rotten. But I see a worrying trend where a few doctors are putting the whole lot in disrepute. Is it that doctors are misunderstood? Is it that we do not understand them?Methinks that doctors, especially in urban areas have become accustomed to being demigods, who do not answer to anyone but themselves. That may be fine, but i believe it leads to a dangerous situation where the doctor cannot be brought to task when an error is made.Am I picking on doctors or are these issues that need to be addressed.I would not want ever to doubt my doctor, not for one second. What do you think?
