Irresponsible doctors
In my life I have seen many physicians who help the helpless and poor people considering it their noble duty. I have great respect for them. But what I have seen tonight (April 20) on ntv is horrible. It showed that a ward boy was performing an eye operation and another lay person was performing operation in the microsurgery department at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. They did so because the doctors were absent. If I had the authority I would have cancelled the MBBS certificates of those physicians. In fact, those physicians are the worst enemies of the honest and dedicated physicians. This is very clear that those doctors committed a terrible wrong and they must be brought to justice even if they belong to the 'government party'. We are looking forward to the action the DMCH authorities (if it really has any authority) in this regard. Many poor patients go to the DMCH and in many cases they are not treated well. Before ignoring them the DMCH authorities and the section of physicians who ignore them must not forget that the poor people of this country have enormous contribution to our economy which helps us to survive.
Finally, I thank the ntv reporter for his bold reporting.
