Once a highly regarded profession (still is) but now the ethics are questionable. What are the ultimate purposes of becoming a doctor? Passion in pursuing breakthrough in the medical/ science realm? For fame, status and wealth? Whatever it is, the patient's life is at stake and as a doctor, you should give your best in treating the patient no matter how poor/ wealthy he/she may be. Unfortunately, not many that we know of think that way and has a passion for curing the sick irregardless of race, age, status. Ridiculous and absurd remarks makes me wonder and worried for the less affordable. Aren't they human as well? Shouldn't they be given as much chance to live, to go for the same medical treatment in order to rectify whatever problem they had and then be able to embrace the beauty of life once more?
Does staying in specific classes of wards determine whether a specialist doctor should operate on a patient anot? You are the doctor, your job is to exercise your expertise and save lives. But it seems to me that things are not that simple nor noble anymore. As nurses and care-givers, you should make the patient as comfortable as possible and yet I do not see any professionalism at all. Totally disgusted and disappointed. Guilty do you not feel, conscience do you not have?
No wonder it was said that for the poor, they rather die than to be struck down by an illness...they will suffer not only mentally, emotionally but also financially.
May God bless my aunt who will be going for an operation tomorrow. May the Lord be there for her, give her strength and courage, and to keep her safe in His Hands. HE is the Healer of all. Speedy recovery, aunt. Take care.
