Healthcare thoughts

Health is wealth and good health is a requirement to live a happy and peaceful life. In the case of health, the healthcare system of a country plays a very important role in each country, and depending on it many good and bad impacts can be created. Good and best quality healthcare ensures the best facility for the patient where in the opposite case the life of a patient can be threatened. So naturally in my country because of the healthcare system, there are some good facilities but at the same time, there exist some negative impacts also.

At first, I am going to talk about negativity. In a healthcare system, the life of a patient should be the first priority. And at any cost, it's the responsibility of a doctor to give the best treatment to a patient. A few years ago I went to the hospital because one of my relatives was admitted to the hospital. I stayed in the hospital for two days. During those days my experience was much worse. In the two days, I have seen some people died because of lack of treatment. It was a government hospital and the treatment facility should be the best quality. In the case of treatment quality I don't have any doubt but what is the benefit of having the best doctor and best instrument medical facilities if the doctors is not available in the hospital for 24 hours? In the two days, I got the schedule of doctors in that hospital. I have seen that a senior doctor used to visit two times a day in the hospital. Once in the morning time and another in the evening time. Except for two times, the senior doctors were unavailable in the hospital. That means in between morning and evening time if any patient comes or any patients feel bad then there exists no senior doctor to handle the situation. And I have seen some critical patients died without any treatment. I was able to know that those doctors used to go to private Chambers or private hospitals to earn extra. In fact, I heard they give the visiting card to the patient and tell them to meet them in their private chamber. It seems the doctors became greedy and because of their greatness they almost forget that they came to this profession to serve the nation and save the life of patients but unfortunately, they are doing nothing more than a business. I was really very disappointed to realise the truth for the first time. That kind of scenario is not the same in every government hospital but it's very common for those hospitals which situated in village and so village people are not getting enough treatment facilities in my opinion.

Let's talk about the incident which really impressed me. It was the time of covid-19 situation and many people were struggling with the deadly virus. My mother also suffered from it and for that reason, we admitted her to the hospital. She was facing difficulties in taking a breath. If I am not wrong my mother was admitted to hospital almost at the time of 1:00 a.m. I was really worried thinking about if any doctor was available there or not. Besides I fear some doctors refused to treat COVID-19 patients and they also closed the chambers also because of it. The good thing was the doctor was available in the hospital and immediately treatment started. After the treatment, the doctor told me and my father to stay calm and everything would be fine. Although we were nervous but the word of the doctor gave us relief and negative thoughts reduced a lot. At that time I stayed in hospital for 12 days if I am not wrong. In these 12 days, I have seen how doctors are fighting to keep humans alive. They are treating the patient taking the risk of their own life. It seemed like they became a wall between life and death. I also have seen many poor people receive the best treatment from there. Even I have seen some doctors helping patients by providing the money for medicine. To be honest, my respect for the doctors has been increased a lot from that time. I really felt very proud of doctors and still, I have the same feelings in my heart for doctors.

It's true many doctors have chosen the profession to make money but at the same time, it's also true that many doctors make their best effort and give everything to keep us alive and give us a better life.
