RE:Stop calling such names as Dr Horror
by Sameer Bhagwat on Feb 10, 2008 12:22 AM

Samudra blr,

Do you know the whole story, or read the head lines and thought of putting a message? This is not simply a transplant, or a trade. This is a trade where the patient did NOT know that his/her kidney was removed (under a false diagnosis, of course) and sold to someone in a black-market. Think of it this way - you go to a doc with a complaint of stomach pain. The doctor (falsely) tells you that you have a kidney failure and needs to be removed, when all you had was a mild gastronomic problem. Then he opens you up, removes your kidney, lets you live on one kidney, and sells your kidney to someone (illegaly) at a very high price - as much as Rs. 5 to 7 lacs. How would you feel if you found out? Even worse, how would you feel if your health deteriorates? And finally, how would your wife and kids would feel if you die?

The profession of a doctor is highly respected - and a doc is the closest thing to God that humans have. If a doctor betrays his profession and his oath to make money what do you call him, but Dr. Horror??

Hope this helps clearing your mind.
