Sharing and caring
This is with regard to “When doctors assume that they know what a patient wants” by Prof BM Hegde. Thank you, Dr Hegde, for creating awareness about the grey areas in healthcare. The gradual disappearance of the concept of ‘family doctor’ in India and the transfer of healthcare responsibilities to machines and specialists are causing avoidable agony to those who approach hospitals for medical attention. The medical profession and pharma industry are becoming parasites on the ill-health of patients. Some self-regulation and some amount of sharing and caring from the government can reduce the agony.
