A letter to my dear Society!

A letter to my dear society!

I am just another heavy hearted doctor from your locality or your own family.

I see how you praise me and then ignore my advice once I'm gone (considering me as young or less experienced?).

But I also see how you search for the best physician (which is decided by the number of extra capital letters spaced out by dots after the name or whatsoever) around you or even travel inter-cities for them but avoid to listen to their advice as well.

I feel dejected when my colleagues ardently assure and then reassure you regarding any illness that you still prefer in believing the neighborhood priest more.

You never lift that butt of yours and visit the government set ups where there are free provisions available for various treatments because you don't have the patience to stand in a line and wait for your turn.

But I see how you complain after paying the medicine bills or costly treatments and cursing the government too.

I hope that you're wise enough to understand there is another group of people (the administration) that is always there between us.

I see how quickly you take out the phone, open Google and search for the medicines just as soon as you leave my clinic because that's how my knowledge is ultimately judged.

I see how easily you get aggressive and beat my colleagues to death when you lose someone but it's okay while you decided to 'wait’ until the time is right or there's an emergency to visit any doctor/hospital.

All this made me doubt my own community- what is it that we are doing wrong, where are we lacking the trust and what more should we do? What is the point of spending sleepless nights working and learning everyday for the rest of our lives?

I recently got all the answers to these questions.

Not everyone is like you and there still exist a small population that asks for our help, trusts us and follows them.

We all see this and stay silent.

Since you people think of me/my colleagues as selfish no matter what, so we have decided to stop wasting our efforts in giving explanations to the millions like you and focus a little more on the hundreds in need.(The word is focus here- because somehow we are also bound to an oath to serve every last one of you).

For the rest of your satisfaction there are enough 'B.A.B.A.s’ in this country!

We are not the leading actors (Gods) in the movie of your life. We are simply here to play the supporting role.

P.S. Again to my dear society & juniors craving to enter this profession, this is not a de-motivational letter but yes-

“May the Gods be with you during the odds”.

Auldrin...from the mountains😏
