Doctors Politicians Bureaucrats People And Private Practice

Governments' banning the private practice of doctors has a history of 50 years, exactly as old as the abandonment of health and welfare of people by them. Wherever there are uneducated politicians and jealous bureaucrats, they share this common animosity and jealousy towards doctors. Bureaucrats retire at an age and politicians stop when party men stop following them. This hatred and jealousy stems from the right of doctors to practice medicine till the end of their days. We can understand a doctor punished for not looking patients but how can we not understand the madness in punishing him for looking patients? That is what is going on in the world. Doctors who look patients at homes in their spare time are raided, suspended or dismissed by politicians and bureaucrats, on the hope that there won't be anyone left to look patients in government hospitals and all will go to costly private hospitals run by these politicians' and bureaucrats' sons and daughters and sons-in-law. When this madness continues in the largest democracy of the world that is India and millions of people who have no other place than free government hospitals to go are left uncared for and dying, world's nations' conscience is not turned to responding to this injustice.
