Health is one such important thing, without which nothing can move forward in life. So people would be ready to spend bomb on it. This attitude of the public is making the doctor profession significant and the hospital business demanding. 

If there are people who are losing the lives, unable to afford the money in the big hospitals, there are even people, who are losing life, just because of the negligence of the doctors.

To get into detail with the second category with few incidents took place in the recent times, a popular hospital in Delhi has operated a guy’s left leg, instead of the injured right leg. A few days before, another popular hospital in Hyderabad operated a youth, assuring him to increase his height. The operation was failure, resulting in the guy losing both of his legs. 

While there is an opinion that all these failures happen in the big hospitals itself, to prove it wrong, a charitable eye hospital in Mehdipatnam, Hyderabad, today, left 13 patients in the threat of losing the eye sight, as the operation witnessed the failure.

Who should be blamed for this? Are the private hospitals concerned of money and nothing else? If so, why they could not treat the rich patients well? Be it big or charitable hospitals, one common thing is, the doctors are negligent, the analysts opine, adding that, is resulting in questioning the lives of many.

“We have done our best, but could not save the patient”, is the one simple escape the doctors can say, even if they kill the patients due to their negligence. This great loophole is making the doctors survive without any troubles, opine the analysts.

So where is the justice and what should be the solution to save the patients who believe in the hospitals, expecting to get back to normal. The issue is taking its heat when it happened and cooling down later. Isn’t there any need of the government to react severely on such doctors, who is believed to be the god of the patients? Yes, there is definitely such need, only then, the other doctors would be aware of what they are doing and what they should do.
