Dear Doctor, Sorry we failed you: Happy Doctors day

Because we don't value the sacrifices that you are making everyday, just to keep each one of us alive & healthy.

Recently alot of people celebrated the Doctors Day, & as a part of this community myself, i felt like contributing too. I wanted to write a thankyou note to all my fellowmates, while they risk their life & still go out of their way to treat their patients. But, somewhere deep down, a heavy feeling of sadness pulled me down.

'There was no need to charge this much for such a small procedure!!!'

'Oh, Ye doctors bhi na, they just know how to fill their own pockets!!'

'Dont listen to THAT doctor, he is just trying to scare you'

By now, every medical professional must have realised what i am trying to say. Because we all have heard these things more than once in our lives. If this pandemic has made everyone realise this one thing, then it is the fact that nothing is more valuable than our good health. Everyone, apart from essential workers & practising doctors, get the choice to stay at home & be safe! knowing that a doctor is going to be there for them, if they get sick.

But still, the habit of taking them for granted is widely prevalent. 

We fail at being good humans, when we follow such practices. We fail as a society.

A society that does not know how to cherish the only people who can save us in these tough times!

This doctors day, i want to apologize. 

Dear Dr, sorry we are failing you, whenever we act careless or blame you.

Sorry, we are failing you.
