Two professionals enjoy utmost respect in society. They are doctors and teachers. While one is a saviour of life, the other is a life-maker by imparting knowledge. ‘Vaidyo Narayano Harihi,’ which means that a doctor should be seen as a form of Lord Narayana, is the popular phrase used by people to show respect towards ‘Men in white coat’. But the doctor’s fraternity is very much disturbed over the recent deadly attacks on doctors in some parts of the country over death of COVID patients. On the occasion of National Doctors’ Day, SOM spoke to a few doctors to elicit their opinion on this day.
