Violence against doctors have been reported widely in Indian media and this public anger is largely a result of lack of comprehension of intricacies of the field by the public at large.
Top doctors from different hospitals debated on various aspects of trust deficit between the doctor and patients and also on issues of end of life care and graceful death in a health event in the Capital on Sunday. In recent years the reports of violence against doctors have been reported widely in Indian media and this public anger is largely a result of lack of comprehension of intricacies of the field by the public at large.
Dr Naresh Trehan, CMD Medanta Medicity said "One of the most important and satisfying aspects of a doctors jobs is the relationships and the bonding they have with their patients. Scientifically it has been proven strong doctor-patient relationships favourably impact the health outcomes, patient satisfaction, patient commitment to self-management. Patient attendants tend to gather a lot of unstructured information about the treatment, protocol etc from various unreliable sources, which lead to a lot of confusion, doubts and queries. This can be addressed by Doctors if they are compassionate, communicative and address concerns as and when they surface."
More than 500 leading doctors, key opinion makers in the healthcare and medico-legal experts from the national capital region, Mathura, Agra and the adjoining areas of the smart city congregated at a health conclave organized by QRG Health City. 'Illumina', discussed the issue of changing dynamics of the doctor-patient relationship in current times and on issues of dealing with critically ill patients. There was concern expressed on the impatience and anger directed towards the medical fraternity without realising the serious harm this was doing to the profession in the long run. "Less number of students today opt for medicine as a career because of the long-time a doctor needs to get established. Finally, the few who end up as doctors try and find opportunities abroad as the environment of medical practice in India not conducive. This is going to severely impact the society" said Dr Prabal Roy, Director, Dept of Surgery at QRG Healthcity, Faridabad.
