Are doctors really that bad as portrayed by Indian media? Dr Prakash Dorai,

There are 100+ answers to your question. So I won't repeat what many other doctors have said. However I have to say one thing. If patients don't die in hospitals, then it reflects poorly on the health care of the region. If people don't die in hospital, then it means they are dying outside the hospital and are unable to reach the hospital. In such situation doctors won't be blamed at all for deaths but that is the one of the worst case scenarios for Healthcare. Patients have to die in hospitals and not in their homes or on the streets. Everyone dies someday and in the most developed health care in the world everyone dies in the hospital. If for every death doctors are going to be beaten up and bashed by the media then eventually everyone will start dying on the streets. You decide if you want to die in the hospital or on the street.
