Doctors' strike

Mistrusting, doubting and second guessing your doctor may have disastrous consequences, and accusing them of “wrong treatment” will only make matters worse by alienating your doctor further.

Both the issues of the violence against doctors and the poor management of the recent encephalitis outbreak are manifestations of the same deeply rooted systemic disease, i.e., the failure of our public health system.

Unfortunately, doctors are not a vote bank. They are perceived to have all made a fortune fleecing poor patients, and therefore beating them up somehow appears to be justice served.
