The unruly attack on a doctor at the civil hospital in Thane is one more case of such hooliganism taking place in a day light by the relatives of the patient. After a long time such a serious situation has arisen in Thane city and it is time to arrest the miscreants. After all, the doctors are serving humanity to survive and no one feel like ending the life of a patient. But strange thoughts and views make the people act in a very cruel manner and thereby causing ill feelings and attacking them mercilessly. This is not the first time that doctors in Thane are suffering. The doctors are soft targets in the past also and they suffered the same fate and hospitals were ransacked and equipment destroyed without valid reasons. Attacking the doctor or the hospitals is not going to help and find an end solution to the crux of the problem. The patient’s relatives should not pose problems and realise the reality of life before attacking the doctors.
