Doctors Need To Be More Careful About Their Patients

- Advertisement -

Doctors are respected across the world because they save lives. It is an ignorant act in which Doctors treat their patients carelessly and due to their carelessness patients reach to the stage of death and sometimes they even die. There are many cases in which patient becomes handicap just because they are not able to pay their bill and also of the ignorance/carelessness of doctors in treating the patients. Doctors cannot afford to be complacent. Public awareness of medical negligence is growing. There is hardly any control over the drugs used by doctors today. There are many who freely prescribe a variety of drugs, often going beyond the maximum dose recommended by the drug manufacturer. Medical stores too do not have qualified pharmacists to evaluate the prescriptions. Hospital managements are increasingly facing complaints regarding the facilities, standards of professional competence, and the appropriateness of their therapeutic and diagnostic methods. We are all human and no human being can be accurate all the time. Doctors who are negligent & irresponsible to their duty can be prosecuted if they do not exercise an ordinary degree of professional skill and competence.
