Expectations from a noble profession

01 Nov, 2008

It seems professionalism is almost dead everywhere while craze for money has overwhelmed all of us. During my illness I found how reputable hospitals are fleecing innocent people. Due to wrong medical treatment, many patients are suffering. Physicians should be healers and not greedy people. I was very worried due to my illness.
I went to an emergency section of a medical centre where I was given some medicines which were not available easily. In fact some pharmacies had advised me not to purchase such medicines to avoid side effects. These medicines are not useful for health, they added. After taking an appointment with a specialist I was told that I had just a minor swelling on my liver. Moreover, he had also told me that the earlier prescribed medicine was harmful.
I had also undergone my medical check-up at a medical complex in Naseerabad, where doctors are trying to harass patients by giving them false diagnosis. After inspection yet with another doctor, he found some serious illness ie typhoid, urine infection and kidney problem and he advised me to stay in the clinic for observation. Another option he had given to me was injection twice a day after every 10 hours.
The above condition was very much worrying for me. Anyhow, after being advised by some friends and relatives, I am now being treated by a philosopher, since my husband had also been treated well by this doctor. God grant him more ability to cure and restore the health of the patients suffering from liver ailments.
