In the health care milieu, all
the medical professionals are supposed to follow a certain set of ethics to be
able to render their duties without any bias; however, in the present context,
I seldom come across cases which can blatantly be termed as breach of the same.
It disturbs me to realize that most of these cases go unnoticed, leaving the
general public at lurch.
Late night commercials about
medical products that claim to work better than the standard options of medical
sciences evoke a lot of interest in general public. I fail to understand how a
mixture, which is supposed to be applied topically, can bring about changes in
the mal-aligned bones, ligaments and tissues; and this is what is portrayed
every night over prominent channels by various animations and grand talks. Do
you think putting a disclaimer for less than 5 seconds prior to the start of
program can help the viewer come to an enlightened choice?
We get to see a lot of dubious medical
claims in newspapers everyday, ranging from solutions to achieve incredible increase
in height to permanent solutions for a range of seemingly notorious medical
ailments. We see a lot of doctors, belonging to an array of diverse health care
systems, practicing allopathy; medical ethics involve all the streams of health
care sciences – why shouldn’t we simply introspect and follow the right path?
A small hole near the bottom of
the ship can derelict its survival in the sea; our healthcare system is
witnessing a farrago of such holes. Healthcare system is based on mutual trust
and display of ethics without fail; and I believe that by not contributing
actively to curb the menace, we are betraying the common people. It’s time to
keep aside the sympathy nerve and listen to the call of the soul.
