Doctors, The God on earth..

I watched the episode of satyamev jayate on sunday and would praise the efforts put on by the aamir khan productions for raising some of the blunt issues of the society. but the discussion shown had many of the if's and but's left behind. the medical council knows whats going on and it has been open to all after the arrest of dr ketan who was alleged in the medical collages scam.
Earlier the doctors were the God on earth who saves our lives. but now it a big profession or a business with assured returns. from everything, the prescribed drugs, the lab tests, the recommendations and refrences, and even the humanity, everything is sold at a cut or a price of human life. from the birth to the death everything is a business for the doctors and the medical practiceners, the patient who could be a son to one or a husband to another, to somebody he could be a father, or a brother but for them he is a client who could just bring the business to them. whatever we are told we follow just for the sake of our beloveds. the test done are not always equired but just to get that cut from the lab, even sometimes the doctors deney the test recommended by the earlier doctors as they want their part.
The medicines have been sold on high prices just to earn the profits in many folds, because the pharmaceutical companies are giving some very lucrative offers to the doctors to recommend their products and recovering that money from the poor patients. why dont the government takee the responsibility of the citizens to provide the generic medicines on cheaper price to the people, as per the WHO the indian government is spending just 1.4% of their gdp on healthcare for the citizens and even the small countries are spending 6-8% for the same even this is far less for the country like india with such a big polulation. so how can we get the basic necesseties for ourselves while government is spending billions on their own and the money is been flowen to some countable accouunts only.
Everybody is now aware of the truth behind the business going on in the healthcare and even the ministery of health and the medical council of india too is aware of what is going on but why they all feel bound to take necessary steps and action? why we the citizens of india are so unprivilaged to get the basic need of food and healthcare? many more questions and still finding the answers..
but the people who are concerned are not committed to their duties and their job and we people are having a chalta hai attitude for ourselves...
