Dear Diary
Today was a rather challenging day. A visibly rich patient came to the hospital. She was convinced that she had a major heart issue. A few tests later I was certain that it had nothing to do with the heart, but was a gas issue. However, she kept insisting on getting admitted. Though the hospital management would have loved to serve her, I couldn’t lie. I spent 20 minutes explaining everything to her. She was taken aback, since most hospitals these days do their best to come up with inflated patient bills. It is rather sad that the medical fraternity, which should ideally be saving lives, is actually playing with people’s lives by giving them unnecessary treatments. I wish individuals would wake up and make ethical decisions, at least in health care.

Diary Entry :
Dated 10 July 2021
Today was a different and tough day of my life. It was because of a different case that i had to face in my clinic. A pregnant women with his husband came to me and asked for abortion. When i took the women to the room, she requested me that she wanted this baby while his husband was forcing her. I took it as an ethical matter and went to husband to dig out the reason and somehow convinced him that i would not be doing this unethical practice when the mother wants to keep her baby.
