Long gone are times when a hospital was run by doctors.
if anyone has ever enterd a hospital nowadays, they'd know the reality of who actually runs the place, and in reality doc's have the minimum say in stuff happening there.
firstly, if they are talking about bringing "strict regulations" for patient safety (which is absolute bull btw, they dont unerstand the consequences of this change of law) it should be talked about someone who has been in the field or atleast knows about it
[on another note why is there no stricer regulations for doctor safety against patient violence, are'nt we humans of this country too? that deseve safe work place? ]
and secondly why are doctors only talking the fall for others mistakes too.
again hospital and patient management is a team work run by the perfect synchrony of multiple staffs like doctors, nurses, technicians, physician assistants, helpers, hospital administration etc.
in my opnion of having 6 years of experience in this field of "nobel profession", everyone should be held responsible for their shortcomings in their respective jobs. anyone in the team, not just doctors.
its human nature to feel like " anyway its going to be someone elses headache in the court, so why bother".... stricter laws focusing on allll and everyone in the field is more fair.
i'm sure most of you are aware of the recent trial that went against a nurse in the US about giving wrong drug to the patient, resulting in the unfortunate demise... the respective staff was held for trial in court and got their punishment, not the doctor.

"When you criminalize what health care workers do, it changes the whole ballgame."
cant even imagine that situation in india, if that had happened im pretty sure EVERYTHING is the doc's fault.
time to really think about all this in a different and more realistic view by qualified people.
