The future of medical practitioners in Bengal seems to be dark.
The people of Bengal are having good number of complaints against the physicians and they had no platform for remedial measures . They were compelled to digest all the allegations. Presently the relationship between the physicians and the patients has deteriorated very fast and the same happened through a long time.
Though there is one medical Association where complaints can be lodged but the number of action taken seems to be very poor .Of late the Govt of west Bengal has prepared a law to protect the interest of the patients in respect of private hospitals , Nursing homes and doctors attached to those places.
The patients have various complaintsagainst Doctors like wrong treatment , unnecessary a good number of tests , unlimited fees which are gradually getting out of capacity of the patients, Misbehaving with the patients and its very difficult to get them in case of emergency. In case of surgery the fees are claimed at most exorbitant rate etc.
Recently a dangerous trend has been noticed.In many cases the doctors have been physically assaulted. All these may lead to unwillingness for medical studies of the brilliant students.
If this happens in future there will be an acute shortage of the Doctors against requirements and the same will lead to acute mismanagement in heath sector.
These allegations are not applicable in respect of all doctors. It is my humble prayers to all appropriate Authorities kindly to do the needful to avoid any crisis in future in health sector.
