It took 31 deaths over three days for the Rajasthan government to accept four demands of agitating doctors,who called off their strike on Tuesday. The doctors resumed their work immediately.
I have read some of the comments saying that doctors are human beings, they have to do strike for getting all things they need. Yes! they are human beings. BUT the patients who died were also Human Beings, And the relatives who lost them are also human beings. People lost their children, wives, husbands,fathers, mothers….
Lets take another scenario, The army commandos who serve our nation, 24hours, 365 days on borders have all the facilities they need? Do they have proper communication facility, proper support for their life? They live the tough life so that we the people of INDIA can sleep peacefully. They are also human beings, so to fulfill their needs should they also go on strike.. ???? Would it be a perfect solution for them, to leave the border for the terrorists and sit on strike, to fulfill there needs.?
Doctors take Hippocratic oath at the time of starting there service, ” ….. I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone..…” The line says they will not harm anyone, but they have KILLED 31 innocent people… Either live by the oath or do not take it to take lives.
According to sources,while 17 people,including seven kids,died on Sunday,14 deaths were reported on Monday.A young woman,Asha,who got pneumonia,died at Mathur hospital in Jodhpur on Sunday as she could not be put on a ventilator.Maghraj (32),of Falodi in Jodhpur,died due to head injury as there was none at the trauma center to treat him.
According to me, Rajasthan Government should cancel the licences of such doctors.
See the happy faces of the KILLERS (Image on Left), These doctors have killed 31 people. Now the first step of the Government should be to file murder case against all these doctors and cancel their licences.
Junior residents in Jodhpur struck work on Saturday night protesting against the alleged police lathicharge on their colleagues.The police
action took place after junior residents tried to disrupt patients treatment at Mathura Das hospital following a brawl between
attendants of a patient and a few doctors. We have four demands and we wont resume work until these are met, said Dr Krishnakant Sahu,president of Jaipur Association of Resident Doctors.The demands are: termination of cops responsible for lathicharge;proper security to doctors;withdrawal of cases against 33 resident doctors;and compensation to students injured in police action. But, seriously i don’t think any of these demands are so serious that they should result into the killing of 31 innocent people.
Government is also responsible for these deaths, the police also has its share in this crime, Government should also take strict action against all culprits including the doctors, police and patient’s attendants. Police beat one of the resident doctors till death, that caused this chaos..
Doctors are looked upon as Gods, they should not behave like DEVILS. They might had a genuine problem but their method of protest was not correct.

Doctors are no longer angels! With some exceptions all doctors are businessmen just like any other to earn money.
They earn money from patients as well as medicine companies…

An Apple a Day keeps Doctor away, I would rather eat 2 to make sure they are definitely away!
On a serious note, its a shame on this profession but life is cheap for them. They see many of us suffering and dying everyday so really the emotions are drained.
