 Re: Doctors have no right to strike (Re: omer osman)

It must also be said that the gripes made by the junior doctors in Bihar demanding a higher salary may also deserve some consideration. It is reported that the junior doctors in Bihar are paid much less than their counterparts in other states. If this is true, they obviously have every reason to be unhappy and to blame the health department. But junior doctors should not resort to a “doctors’ strike” and deny therapy to the ailing citizens even to settle their legitimate demands from the government. Whether or not their strike is able to cause any anxiety for the debauched political leaders sitting in the health department, it can certainly devastate many innocent families who cannot afford to take their loved one to the expensive private medical clinics and would have no choice but to see them dying without any treatment. The Hippocratic Oath preaches that any financial reward should only be a subordinate consideration for everybody in the noble profession of medicine. The modern day doctors in India should not become totally oblivious of the oath from the father of modern medicine and they should at least ponder once about the pain of the innocent patient left untreated at the hospital doorstep before taking decision to abandon their hospital duty and join a “doctors’ strike”. Public trust in our healers has been plummeting in the recent years for more reasons than one. Further erosion of the doctor-patient relationship is likely to occur from frequent “doctors’ strikes” in India which only upset the essential hospital services that are already substandard and bring added miseries for the poor patients in India. The trade-union mindset of our medical leaders has no place in modern day medical science.
