VIOLENCE: IS IT JUSTIFIED?
Recently we have witnessed various incidences of violence against medical professionals all over country. Such news reached a hype in media followed by discussion if the violence was justified and who went wrong whether the doctor or common people. All said and done, we need to understand that this kind of incidences have multiple background factors rather than the triggering incidence itself.
This is the time for introspection as a young medical professional, if we need to improve certain domains of: clinical acumen, skills to handle difficult cases, skills to break bad news, confidence, communication skills, empathy, morality, and ethics on our parts? Or is it that we are being taken for granted for our Nobel profession to provide service and not to expect even respect?
Also, this is the time to certainly take action as to be assertive and stand united against the antisocial ailments who try to disturb the image of the doctors in society. We need to make a voice- ‘Violence is NOT justified!’
