It is very unfortunate that cream of the nation is ruled by the illiterate people.

By the way, which clause of constitution of Pakistan defends a judge to put penalty only on the surgeon?

Here is constitution of Pakistan:

Re: Missing gauze -whom to blame

you are right. i have already discussed and admitted about hostile behaviour of society against doctors in general and against surgeons in particular. Unfortuantely this is global phenomena. One reason for this negative attitude towards us as community may be disparities amongst our own ranks and since we never took any stand and convey our message across board as fraternity. EVen a merchants union seem better equipped and much more aware about their rights to get their demands acceeded to but we despite being much more needed and indispensable in the end, are just ignored. We perhaps never tried to be noticed. Look what is happening as a result. your legislature is absolutely oblivious of how quacks are shuffling with human lives but they along with those so called judges whose judgement can be moulded and modified at will of some power brokers, are quick to bring the most educated person of their intelligentia to book.This may be difficult and must be requiring lot many efforts for opening a general store or establishing a sugar mill but its easier for any body to claim himself a doctor and set up hospital and start looting community. No eyebrow is raised and your parliament remains lifeless.
See how we are reciprocating as a result, although may not be consciously. Do really we have any sympathy and good will left towards society. Is our behaviour over years not becoming more callous , rude and frustrated.ARe we not transforming into a sheer mercantile. Is today doctor not more insecured in his own hospital or clinic then ever.
You are also right on this account and this is lamentable that either we don't have any opinion or we failed to voice it effectively from some common platform. If such platforms already exist, they could never scale our genuine problems and represent us in true sense. And perhaps foremost problem amongst all others is our own security which is so nakedly and rather legally jeopardized so often and we remain just silent spectators.
anyways as a practising surgeon and being in field for quite some time, i reflected what i saw ,experienced and observed. Sooner or later we shall be in same shoes. I have seen my colleagues suffering and sometimes it really becomes very sad affair. One literally starts resenting the decision of joining this field in first place. If i am not able to convince this hung parliament or this judiciary then at least i should,or rather we should be raising our voices, individually if not collectively to make them all see flip side of coin.This also raises another one million dollar question, did we ever try to convince any body?
Doctors are not exploiter as they always assume to begin with or "guilty" untill proved otherwise. But you don't and can't call it fiction. If you are unable to fathom our problems , at least dont mock them. These problems ,we are hectically facing and all this is as real as your own self. Its just matter of time before you know it.

After missing the gauze, it is judge of the court (having the authority to put penalty on the surgeon) Who shold be convinced otherwise it requires two third majority in the parliament to defend the innocent surgeon. Opinion of just a few has no importance.
