Last week I had to contact hospital for an emergency case. The person who picked the call hung up abruptly asking me to contact after 5 p.m.He was not even bothered to ask what the call was about. I was really upset and had to search another hospital where the case was even worse. They didn’t even pick up the call. And all the hospitals I contacted were supposed to work 24x7.

                   I saw a hospital’s advertisement on television recently. The ad portrayed that they are good in hospitality. It is really crazy. Is hospitalization an advertising thing? It is a mandatory thing which should be incorporated in every hospital activities. I have witnessed doctors in rural areas smoking in and around the hospital zone thereby making the healthy ones also sick (passive smoking).

                   I am not placing an impractical point that doctors should serve for free but they should treat the patients with patience. Let the fee be anything but the patients should feel comfortable as the doctors are the only hope. Only when this hope loses, the term of God comes into play. It is said that the patients’ will power  itself cures most of the diseases. This will power actually is powered by the doctor and his hospitalization. So I say the entire patient’s health depends on the doctor. But the saddest part is that the lack of this hospitalization.

                  Patients should be considered as human body only inside the operation theatres as they do have a soul before and after the operation or treatment.
