Two view are prevalent about the medical profession that a doctor is a social servant and that he is public enemy.WE
can say much on either side .But first of all ,let us consider a doctor
as a social servant .Sickness or deathis the most helpless at all time
.A doctor,if he wished ,could exploit people.But he can be great solace
and heaven-sent angle at the time ofsickness .He can offer his
servicesfree to some hospital and thus serve public .WE also find
manydoctors so kind-hearted as not to charge anything to the poor and
even visit them free of charge .A doctor is the guardian of public health.
A doctor's profession offer the greatest and the best opportunities of serving the poor .Service of the poor is the service of GOD .Of course a doctor cannot live on air and water .He must also fill his belly and maintain his family.If he does not run after money ,but becomes a little -spirited,he is , no doubt ,a social servant worth his weight in gold .It is a very common saying ,that God cures the patients and doctor gets the fee.This mean thatthe doctor does absolutely nothing except to receive the fee.But another view is that all doctors are quacks and they only experiment upon human life as they do on catsa and dogs .They have no value of humanlife.A surgeon has a selfish interset in operations ...the more he cuts ,the higher in his fee.They are not men of science at all .They know as muchof cure as a blind man know about the sun over his head .They have nothing like honour or conacience .They waste human life .The doctor would be starved and therefore it is in there best interests to prolong illness.He is public enemy .If the patient is cured ,it is an accident and GOD be thanked for that .If he dies,his widow weeps.They have no mercy of ordinart himanity in them after a few years of paractice.The wounder is,there are so many persons living in the world inspite of the doctors
Having examind both sides, it is not so easy to say outright who is right and who is wrong .The truth probably lies so me where between the two .There are some doctors who are the real servants of society and again there are some who can be called enemies of the public .A doctors profession is capable of beign either of the two.With a little more idealism ,a doctor has better chances for social service than any one else,but if a doctor runs after money and exploits helpless people he would be an enemy
