Stop Violence against Hospitals
Abstract
Every disease has an inherent danger of death. That probability and possibility varies with different diseases. Medical science has over the time tried to take away or prolong the possibility of death by appropriately intervening in its course and complications of diseases. It had been successful in several areas but still there are situations where the science has no answer. In spite of powerful tools, research and technology in this era, the doctor’s task is much more challenging and gratifying than ever, as in the current scenario the diseases and their complications are aggravating day by day. In this situation doctor’s commitment and perseverance for the care and happiness of others has to be greatly appreciated. Medical service providers have to be given courage and support to deal with the unfortunate situation of disease and death, to save the patient.
The government should bring stringent laws to punish the miscreants and should make them compensate for the damages adequately. Such atrocities cannot be tolerated any more. Society should voice their concern against such organized crime so that patients can comfortably stay in the hospitals to get rid of their agony. The violence against the hospitals should be stopped at any cost.
