GRATITUDE: Doctors and medical staff

GRATITUDE: Doctors and medical staff

As a police officer, I have seen in number of cases where doctors have been attacked. I don't want to go into the details and restrict my comments to the difficult situations like the one we are facing today.

Today, I find the doctor community and the health staff to be on the forefront. They are truly justifying, "The Hippocratic Oath."

The Hippocratic Oath is an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians. It is one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts. In its original form, it requires a new physician to swear, by a number of healing gods, to uphold specific ethical standards.

They are doing their best to save the life of patients in the best possible way. We are seeing this world wide. In many cases because of paucity of staff they have been working for hours together without even sleep. In some cases, doctors have lost their lives fighting the corona. There are instances where they have been asked to vacate the rented accommodations but their morale is not shaken. Because they believed the call of duty to be supreme. Today, they have only one agenda and that is to save the lives of people who are fighting against CORONA. They are over stretching themselves and doing their best.

Let us all salute them and express gratitude.
