Medics' wrath on journalists

Medics' wrath on journalists

We have learnt from newspapers about the recent incidents of assaulting journalists by doctors. Some Rajshahi Medical College doctors refused to give treatment to a journalist. Everybody knows how much suffering the patients had to undergo during the recent strikes by DMCH doctors. Recently a Prothom Alo reporter has fallen victim to the wrath of a Sikder Medical College doctor who swooped on him with his cohorts simply because the reporter went to the physician's office to verify an allegation that the medic, despite being a government employee, has been working at the private medical college fulltime.
Every medical student, at the very beginning of his/her medical profession, has to take oath of serving people, whoever it is. So assaulting and refusing to give treatments to the journalists are incompatible with the oath they take.
