Doctor is God! If you are born in India, you are sure to have heard this at least once in your lifetime. I’m not sure if any of the religious scriptures have influenced such a belief and even if they haven’t, it’s not difficult for anyone to arrive at it logically. When we think of God, we also think of virtues that defines “God”. These virtues make us have a blind faith that God can take away our misery & heal our problems. And we all have stories in every religion where Gods have taken away pain, sickness and restored health. Well, as doctors we are trained to remove pain & sickness.
So aren’t we the “qualified Gods” albeit mortals? If you are a doctor, I can guess what you must be thinking right now. Don’t we read so many cases of outburst or violence against doctors by patients? How could someone do such things to their God? Has something changed drastically? Like their relation…
