Short Essay On Doctors
A doctor is a person who is responsible to cure the world and helps people to live a healthy life. Doctors play a very important role in human life. The life and the profession of a doctor are not an easy one. It requires many years of study, training and experience. It’s very challenging to earn a degree with good marks and knowledge after studying for years and dedicating life to studying.
Doctors work day and night tirelessly to help and cure their patients. They don’t have a fixed time for working like a normal office goer person. They can’t give much time to their family and friends as they have to complete their work before leaving, be it checking up on their patients or surgery which might go one for hours. As surgery is very risky and should be done with a lot of patience and dedication. Even a single mistake can be very dangerous to the patient and cost the patient’s life. So the doctors can’t be impatient while doing a surgery and take every step cautiously as the life of the patient is in their hands. Sometimes, when there is an emergency case the doctors have to leave at midnight or while they are spending time with their family and friends. They have to be prepared for any emergency.
It can be an accident, a patient having cardiac arrest or an unbearable pain in any part of the body, etc. They work selflessly without thinking for once why they have to leave at midnight?, They can’t go to work now as they are with their family or they did not get any rest, etc. Even when they are pursuing for the profession be it during the school and after school they can’t devote much time to their friends or family and miss out a lot of things in their life such as attending a family function, meeting friends after a long time, birthdays of their friends or cousins or any relative, going to watch a movie as they have to study a lot and for hours so that they can become a doctor.
Doctors always have to be calm and treat the patient. To make the patient comfortable and to reduce their tension the doctors build a friendly relation with the patients and try their best to make them understand the problem they are having in the easiest way and what they can and will do to help and cure the patient.
Doctors don’t discriminate among their patients. They treat people belonging to any caste, religion, gender, creed, even prisoners when they need treatment. We trust doctors a lot as their knowledge in the field is huge. As they a great knowledge about their work and devices that help them to diagnose and treat the patients correctly.
The profession of a doctor is always in a high demand. Many parents want their child to become a doctor when they grow up as it is a very respectable, noble and high salary profession. Some parents even force their kids to become doctors which is very wrong as just by learning and giving exams cannot make a person doctor until and unless he/she really wants to become one from heart. Even done so, they might become doctors who will fail to treat the patients and might be diagnose them wrongly which can be very dangerous.
The importance of doctors in the society and in our life is unexplainable. Their work proves their importance. And they have always proved their importance time and again to us. With their experience and appropriate knowledge, they try to save as many lives as they can and are possible.

The field of medical professionals is vast, and every doctor specializes in a particular domain. It can be neurology, paediatrics, cardiology, general physicians, psychiatric, gynaecologist, orthopaedics, dermatologists, etc.
To become a doctor, rigorous training in the medical science field is a prerequisite. In India, to become a doctor, the students have to take up the subject science including biology in the grade XI and XII. They have to pursue their MBBS, which a course of five years. If a student wants to apply for medic universities or colleges in India then they have to take the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Those who want to pursue veterinary or dental can also take the NEET test. In India, Ayurveda is one of the oldest methods in the medical field. The doctors in this field treat their patients with the use of herbal medicines. Doctors who specialise in Homeopathy, Allopathy and Ayurveda also have clinics and practices.
Without medical intervention and doctors, many people would have suffered gravely. The advancement in the medical field and technology has helped the doctors to work efficiently and the medical technology is still growing so in the near future it will be helpful to the doctor’s a lot. With this growing technology the doctors and treat any illness which were not curable before. The doctors need to work around the clock to save the patients life. The doctors put their own life on the line to treat even the most life threatening diseases.
With our busy and stressful life, we often neglect our health. Eventually, we become unhealthy and adapt a stressful, chaotic nutrition and have multiple diseases. In such situations, doctors are our only saviours. However, the healthcare profession has faced many criticisms, mainly for the doctors who are connected with the monetary exploitation. In India, the healthcare system is very expensive. There are many private-sector hospitals but they are very expensive. Even a simple blood test in these privately hospitals costs a lot. Middle-class family or daily wage workers cannot afford to get treatment in these hospitals. Being compelled they have to go to the government hospitals which lack basic amenities, equipment, even doctors are unavailable sometimes which delays their proper treatment.
As every coin has two sides, the medical field and the profession of doctors also have two sides. One is bad and one is good. The bad side is, there are corruptions in the medical field due to some doctors who are greedy. They take the advantage of their patients by giving them false information as they lack knowledge about the problem and it’s treatment. They give extra tests which are not at all required to earn more money. They even tell the patients and their family members that the patient needs to stay for a month or for extra days so that the bill of the hospital will increase and they can earn money. They even specify certain extra medicines which are again not required.
In rural areas, this is a more serious issue. There are not many doctors in the rural areas, as the doctors do not wish to stay in rural areas and wish to reside only in the cities because in the cities they can earn more money which they cannot earn in the rural areas. Because of this, the rural people does not get the basic treatments. Some even make fake degrees to earn money which can be dangerous to the patient’s life. Sometimes some undeserved students also get the degree as they have the power of money. Hence, if people get treatment from them, it will affect their life adversely. Many hospitals treat their patients on the basis of their income source. The doctors profession is very sacred. Their role is to save the lives of the people and thus one should not compromise with its integrity.
But as it has a bad side, it also has a good side to it. There many doctors and medical students who team up with NGOs to work in the rural areas to provide them proper treatments. Some doctors try to help their patients as much as they can pay their bills or buy medicines. They get attached with the patients emotionally and never give up on the patients. They try their best to save their patients life, as it is their only goal in life. During the Covid-19 pandemic the doctors worldwide worked day and night with their own life risk to save the lives of the people. They were not able to go home for days, months so that their family can stay safe and as there was an emergency situation all the time.
They have to stay with the patients to help them get cured. Some doctors even died while working in this situation to save the lives of people. There were two doctors who were couple and they dies while working. They both were tested positive while saving the lives of people but they kept doing their work till their last breath. The world still believes in humanity and doctors because of such doctors who works selflessly, without thinking about their own life to help and save their patients. They played an important role, and they were like soldiers in this situation. The doctors are the warriors without them it was impossible to fight with such a deadly disease.
The doctors were with the patients in their happiness, sorrow, ups and downs like the patients own family members. They did not have up on their patients. The doctors give up on their own sleep, food and rest to cure their patients. While treating their patients, they always have a smile on their face and cheer up the patients. They always motivate the patients who are fighting with life risk diseases. Doctors are the roots of our hope, happiness and strength.
