Its been so long that people have thought of doctors as saviours, as the men of god who have the magical power to win over the demons of death. They have worshipped him by offering their bodies and souls, not to mention the worldly goods. They have created his image as the most respected of the today's society.
It has been a myth that a doctor is one of the most healthiest and the fittest of the humans walking on this planet but as they say most myths are from the demon's mouth this one's too.
I have discovered doctors to be the most vulnerable of the human beings. Their suicide rates are around eight times that of the normal population. Their drug addiction frequency at around 100 times the normal. Why is this paradox?
Why is that the doctors who are fully aware of the strains of insomnia on the body put in 48 hours continous duty?
The body's efficiency goes down as their is lack of sleep yet the doctors dealing with human lives continue to work despite the lack of efficiency. Is it coz of lack of doctors? no, i dont think so.
What is the value of a human live that a doctors puts? Ask an intern who has just returned from 72 hours marathon duty and he will surely tell you the most fascinating of the answer.
Well the answer is that the doctors are painfully aware that they cannot live upto the expections of people. they cannot save every life that they are expected too.
It is not easy to face death everyday and doctors do it every day.
it is not thus amazing that they are sufferers of the mental agony.
Their agony is unquantifiably intense......
They have been aptly called as the " Wounded Healers"
The Pain Of Being A Doctor.....Yes Sir......
