Doctors are considered as next to God. The reason is that it is the doctor who saves many lives. It is a fact that the doctors are doing the wonderful thing in treating people and sending them home after the treatment. However, considering the expectations of the people from a doctor, the role becomes wider and requires some more efforts from the doctor.
After treating the patient physically, the next treatment should be related to mental. If doctors can tell their patient how to lead a healthy life by following certain norms, the chance of compliance is very high. If a friend or family member tells someone to avoid any food, he may take it lightly, but if the doctor says the same, he will at least try to stay away from the same. Commercially for doctors, it doesn’t sound well because if the people don’t fall ill, why will they come back to the doctor and pay their fee. But on the ethical front, doctors can score well because they will contribute significantly to the well-being of the society. Who can deny that, only when the people in a society are healthy, the society can progress fast? In other words, the doctor’s role in the progress of society is dominant. There are certain numbers of credible doctors who are contributing their share but the bulk of others is yet to assume this role. The more such responsible doctors join the club of taking care of society, the better it is.
