An Apple a day keeps The Doctor Away?

Hi to my blog after a considerable break again. May be I got some time from Viaan again or maybe I got too emotional today to feel like writing.

Just finished watching 'Ankur Arora Murder case'. For those of you who haven't watched this movie, its about a surgical error by a renowned doctor which leads to death of a child. Well, I don't know if death of a child invokes more emotions in all parents but it did in my case. I found myself crying with the characters in the movie almost every time.

Apart from the usual anger which welled on the doctors making such careless mistakes, I also tried to logically think about the life of a doctor working round the clock in a hospital. I can't imagine myself looking at and treating hurt/helpless people day in and day out without getting proper sleep/ rest or peace. It might be the most job-satisfaction giving profession but it takes a toll on one both physically and emotionally.

I have often felt offended/upset with the doctors who were pretty rude and unemotional to talk to. But then I would try to reason that I probably would be the 100th patient the doctor is talking to that day. It would be unfair to have such high expectations of them. If you have read the novel 'Doctors', you would understand a doctor's life better. Even they are human beings, as confused and scared as others with atleast 50% of their work involving guess work! Unfortunately they can't even be open about their feelings to the world. Why can't they make mistakes? It's only because they deal with peoples' lives which makes the cost of an error a precious human life.

Why can't I be more tolerant towards a doctor who makes a mistake in diagnosing a health problem in me or my loved one? It sure is difficult.
