Aggression, Violence Against Doctors- How to Avoid Confronting Situation? by Dr Vidushi Sharma Pandey, Director, SuVi Eye Institute Lasik Laser Center, Kota India



Dear All, In today's world, sadly doctors do not hold the same place of respect as they did during the time of Dr. B C Roy and there is a steadily declining mutual trust and erosion of the doctor patient relationship. While patients often complain that doctors are proud, indifferent, do not give them expected care, take hefty fees, are dominating and confuse them with a lot of medical jargon; doctors are also bitter about the increasingly aggressive attitude of patients, who are willing to fight at the drop of a hat, do not respect doctors or their work, always blame doctors for everything without understanding the disease and its consequences. This scenario is not good for society at all as hospitals and clinics are supposed to be safe havens for the treatment and care of the sick and diseased, and we can't afford to let them turn into battlegrounds.

Violence against doctors is becoming global phenomenon. Of late incidence of violence against doctors has increased. Very often we hear doctors being molested, thrashed and abused by lay public for a trivial fault, or no fault of theirs. At least in one instance, a doctor was shot dead by angry relatives.
