But recently some black sheep have entered this noble profession. A person who is bent upon making more and more money out of disease and misery of a helpless patient is not fit to be called a doctor.


He is worse than a butcher. A doctor leads a very busy life. He has to devote some time for the study of latest medical literature in order to update his professional skill and knowledge. For this purpose he has to buy new books and medical journals. He has to attend medical seminars arranged by government or private sector.

In this respect, he is a scholar and a teacher.


A doctor has to spend most of his time among patients in the hospital or in his private clinic. He can spare very little time for his wife and children. Meeting his old friends and visiting his relatives is out of question. They all complain of his busy life. If anyone of them has to see him, he can see him in the hospital or in his clinic. He has no social .contacts and he cannot enjoy social life. He is expected to be available to the good and to the evil. His profession demands that he should have no ill-will towards anyone. Even if an enemy is brought to him for treatment, he shows sympathy to him and gives him right sort of treatment. Even at night, he has to get up and visit patients who need immediate help.

He prescribes some painkiller, anti-biotic, tonic and some sleep-inducing drug. This is professional mis-conduct.


In the end, we can say a doctor's life is an angelic life provided he is not greedy and immoral, A doctor's life is a series of opportunities of serving and helping his fellow-men. His life is a blessing for the human race and for the other animals. He deserves great respect and honour because of his sincere services. A true doctor gets satisfaction out of his work and never runs after money.
