Now that is a serious impact if you talk about the blow that last episode of Satyamev Jayate made. Now it is the most elite and professionals that have come forward against the actor. The last episode of Satyamev Jayate discussed the malpractices in medical profession and how the doctors were making money all through illegal trade and equipment sales. The story was true to the core as there has been many incidents and stories that were portrayed, with the cheif of IMC coming in to clarify the cases. There were also testimonials given out by the doctors themselves about how some doctors were practicing illegally and gambling with patient's health.
Everyone with a minimal knowledge on the profession would understand that at one point or the other they may have encountered one such doctor. So its not rare, and if we remember right, the accusation was not generalized, he said that there were still good doctors who helped poor and did consider the profession divine rather than a business. But it seems that the final note did not reach the association for doctors. Medscape, an association of 21 medical institutions have asked an apology from the actor for disgracing the profession.
"It is rather sad that doctors should be made the object of such shameless, unilateral scrutiny," Himanshu Mehta, co-founder and advisor to Medscape India, said.
"Aamir Khan is my favourite actor and he should stick to making films," said another doctor, Sunita Dube, president of Medscape.
"Surprisingly, no doctors' body has spoken against Aamir yet. We need to stand united against such blatant lies. We are going to write a scathing letter demanding an apology from him," Dube said.
We are wondering why medscape is coming in with rage as again, the accusation was not generalized. It does show in a publicity stunt by the association, but we would know only when time passes. Medscape pointed out that doctors were subjected to assault without any fault and many people didn't understand the pressures of the profession.
"Where is Aamir Khan when doctors are assaulted? Where is he when we give free treatment to the needy?" asked Kishore Taori, president of the Maharashtra Medical Council that is associated with Medscape.
But then, were there no innocent victims in the previous topics that was discussed by Satyamev Jayate? It breaks our common sense why Medscape is reacting to this, as its an open secret what medical representatives and pharma mafia does at hospitals!
Again, we are not generalizing the corruption but at least 1 out of 5 doctors do know how to make the profession a business, and a serious one!
