Doctor-Patient Relationship: Trust
🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩
Doctors are not killers... but the medical profession is slowly being killed!
In today’s world, surge pricing applies to almost everything.
The moment it rains, a ₹300 cab ride becomes ₹1,200.
During festive seasons, a ₹6,000 flight ticket jumps to ₹28,000.
Hotel tariffs go up.
Movie tickets get expensive.
No one calls this wrong.
Everyone simply says—"It's the law of demand and supply."
But when it comes to doctors, the rules change.
Whether a patient is stable or extremely critical...
Whether it's 2:00 PM or 2:00 AM...
Whether it's a 5-minute consultation or a 50-minute explanation...
People expect the doctor's fee to remain unchanged.
Whether it's a routine procedure or a life-threatening, complex surgery...
Both are viewed with the exact same lens.
But the reality is different.
As complexity increases—
Responsibility increases.
Risk increases.
Time increases.
Mental stress increases.
And the risk of litigation increases too.
Lawyers charge higher fees for complex cases.
Chartered accountants charge more for intricate work.
Engineers, architects, and consultants—everyone determines their fees based on the difficulty of the task.
No one objects to this.
Then why is a different standard expected only from doctors?
Patients want—
The best doctor,
The best hospital,
The most advanced technology,
The best ICU,
The maximum time,
The utmost attention...
But zero change in fees!
An even greater truth is that
Most doctors begin treatment in emergencies without asking for money first.
They stay up all night trying to save someone's life.
They sacrifice their own time, family, and health just to save a life.
Yet, no doctor can guarantee that every single patient will recover without fail.
Because doctors fight against nature...
They do not rule over nature.
Doctors are not gods.
Doctors are not machines.
Doctors are not servants.
They are professionals who use their higher education, skill, experience, and honest efforts to save human lives.
Society must realize one thing—
Complexity comes at a price.
A society that fails to respect skill, time, and responsibility...
Will not be able to retain exceptional doctors.
And in the end, all that remains is a weak and broken healthcare system.
Doctors are not killers.
However, unrealistic expectations, distrust, violence, and the demand for perfection in every single situation—all of these are slowly destroying the medical profession.
Respect doctors, because behind every successful treatment lie years of knowledge, experience, sacrifice, and countless sleepless nights.
