Why doctors are blamed?
Doctor considered to be god said to be a noble profession had lost its image over decades and finally ended up as a business man in the hands of corporate sector.public lost faith and respect on doctors and raging on doctors and manhandling and humiliating doctors became a common news in local news papers .
Half a centuary ago where medicine was not well advanced and huge number of deaths due to epidemics and plagues were common if death occurs public thought its their fate and the doctor had done his job.
In 1980 still doctors were respected there was rapid privatisation of health services. clinics and poly clinics were started . The ethics and moral values began to sank in doctor community. there was huge advancement in medicine and surgery . The literacy rates were increased in public . Epidemics and plagues were few and small pox was eradicated . Awareness of the public towards health and doctor wee increased and public started watching what the doctors were doing.
In mid ninties the attitude of the public began to change . They started blaming doctors if any untoward thing happens and the introduction of consumer protection act by Sri Rajiv Gandhi further enhanced the rage of public by bringing health services under this act.
Commercialisation of health services with coprorate hospitals ,five star hospitals or multi speciality hospitals boomed in the health sector and doctors were displaced from owners of the hospitals to the employees of the hospitals.PRO's appointed to improve the business . Advertisements were allowed to attract the public.Huge investment was made by business tycoons and health sector became a business hub and profit oriented.
Health services in corporate sector lost humanity ,lost sympathy and empathy to the patient.All that matters is money .Finally doctors became scape goats and profit made by business men but public were angry with doctors.
