Many times patient’s do come in a critical state expecting doctors to do the near impossible. Seeing patients die also has its negative effect on our mental health as health professionals.
We must learn to control our rage in any difficult situation. Truly we all react to emotional pain differently, however, extreme actions as a response to emotional pain is a recipe for untoward retribution. And for sure, it will only add to the pain.
Doctors are not objects to vent systemic frustrations upon. We get sick like you too and many times we cannot even afford to get proper treatment within the same health system you so want to vent your anger upon. The doctor is not the health system!
sincerely appreciate the role of uch_association of resident doctors, President John Oladap and my seniors in the Neurology unit who ensured justice in this situation.
I have since made peace with the assailant and I sincerely hope that there would be an end to issues like this.
