Doctors : Victims of new form of Untouchability ?

Doctors :  Victims of new form of Untouchability ?

At one hand we are applauding Medicos as Corona Warriors, flower petals ae being showered on them, but at the other hand, Doctors are atiat some places are being treated as if they are untouchables. 

The decease of Untouchability was removed legally, thanks to our Constitution Makers. However in reality it erupts with new faces.
Let's see few examples.

A) I came across recently a post of a Doctor. He visited a patient's place to check the patient. The Doctor demanded torch and when Doctor returned back, the wife of patient refused to touch it !!. 

B) There are many examples where Doctors have been refused to enter thier own clinic and Society said no entry for Doctors, as members may get infected with Corona.

C) Few news were more  disheartening where Doctors were not allowed to enter the Society where they reside !!
These are the same doctors to whom others go for treatment as that time thier neighbour is a Doctor.. 

D) In a recent post which got viral, it has been revealed that in Mumbai more Interns Doctors alleged to  have been qurantined due to exposure, if they found violating Covid-19 discipline, then such person will require to repeat internship for the qurantine period. !

There might be similar other situations which many of the Medicos must have come across. Incidents of violence against   Doctors are reduced (may I say so ? ) . Otherwise Corona Warriors had to practically shed thier blood. 

Exceptions too..
Still, there are good elements in the Society who are helping Medicos in current situation. In some Societies neighbours are bringing vegetables, milk etc for thier Doctor Neighbour  Every thing is not rotten.  However the percentage is less.

But after watching over all scenario a question may come to your mind, where are we heading ? Let's hope people will realise that a time is not far where you will have to rely on search engines for treatment...
