Negligent doctors
Zeenat Z. Syed, UPS eDeployment
Vigilance, reliability and excellence are among the many characteristics one desires in the physician they trust their well being to. As a person with multiple family members who have suffered cardiac attacks and were in need of emergency care I can tell you that diligence and accurate and careful treatment by the physicians have guaranteed speedy recovery of my near and dear ones. When we took my father to the hospital the doctors spent little to no time to find out if indeed he was having an attack. After they had concluded that it was the case they operated on his heart within hours. Because when it comes to the heart and attacks every minute is crucial for every minute wasted translates into heart muscle atrophy. To hear that a cardiologist made a patient suffering from an attack take part in a stress test is not only alarming but also equally appalling. If doctors are not aware of the first steps to ensuring proper future health of their patients they should not practice at all. Medicine has become a form of business all around the world specially in Bangladesh but it is important that all physicians remember the oath they take and part of that oath is to at least do no harm. This particular physician in question has actually done harm and the top medical association of Bangladesh should question his ability. The BMA should make it their duty to keep quacks, which make the medical profession a complete joke, out of the field.
