تو نےدیکھی ہےوہ پیشانی وہ رخسار وہ ہونٹ
زندگی جن کے تصور میں لٹا دی ہم نے
تجھ پہ اٹھی ہیں وہ کھوئی ہوئی ساحر آنکھیں
تجھ کو معلوم ہے کیوں عمر گنوا دی ہم نے

Every doctor should be aware of these laws and make use of them when needed.
Complaints can be managed if you’re not the one at fault, but your safety and protection should always come first.

[💁🏿‍♀️ @dbr9aa]

Sorry but i only support young doctors . If lady aitchison’s MS gets suspended so be it be. These boomers in govt set ups are the reason this is happening to young doctors today , they never stand with you , never raise voice to enhance drs salaries or reduce their working hours and have been silent whenever a young dr gets terminated / beaten up . I wont mind if maryam’s journalists drag her and health dept get her suspended. Also some these boomers go on funded haram trips by pharmaceutical companies and exploit patients and still the public’s wrath goes on young HOs or PGRs who are bearing both public and their seniors wrath

[Hassan 🍁 @Gotoxytop2]

There are quacks working left, right and centre in every other town of Punjab. LHVs running gynae clinics, doing all sorts of procedures. All of their complications land in govt hospitals, where real doctors got suspended because they tried to save one such patient. INSANE!

[Dr. Rafi @DrRafi_]

People ask why attendants do not create scenes in CMH, but violence happens again and again in public hospitals.

The answer is uncomfortable, but simple.

CMH works like a controlled system. Entry is controlled. Attendants are controlled. Patient load is filtered. Security is visible. Staff has administrative backing. There is discipline, hierarchy, and a clear chain of command. People know there are consequences.

Public hospitals work like the last open door of society.

They cannot filter the poor.
They cannot refuse the critical.
They cannot stop referrals from weak district hospitals.
They cannot magically create ICU beds.
They cannot ask a dying child to come tomorrow.

So one emergency receives what the entire failed health system throws at it: patients from villages, districts, private hospitals, road accidents, poisonings, premature babies, ventilator cases, late referrals, angry families, political calls, media pressure, all at once.

Then one doctor is expected to do the work of ten.
One nurse is expected to manage an entire ward.
One bed carries three children.
One ICU bed becomes the difference between life and death.

And when the system fails, the person standing closest to the family is blamed: the doctor.

This is the real root cause.

Not “bad doctors.”
Not “uncivilized attendants.”
Not “lack of sympathy.”

The root cause is a dangerous mismatch between public expectations and public hospital capacity.

People are told hospitals are built from their tax money, so they expect CMH-level care.

But they are given overcrowded wards, no ICU beds, exhausted staff, poor communication, weak security, and a broken referral system.

That gap creates anger.
Anger becomes mistrust.
Mistrust becomes violence.

The solution is not speeches after every attack.

The solution is to fix the system before the next attack happens.

Build functional district hospitals so every serious patient is not dumped into Peshawar. Increase ICU beds. Hire nurses and doctors. Create real emergency triage. Display live bed availability. Limit attendants. Provide hospital security. Make violence against healthcare workers a non-bailable offence. Create proper complaint desks so families don’t think violence is the only way to be heard. And most importantly, stop blaming frontline doctors for failures created by policy makers.

CMH is not peaceful because its patients are better human beings.

CMH is peaceful because the system protects both the patient and the doctor.

Public hospitals will become peaceful only when we give them the same structure, security, staffing, discipline, and respect.

Until then, every attack on a doctor is not just an attack on one person.

It is another warning that the health system is collapsing in front of us.

[Selenophile @__aeipathy]

Attendants would turn up in the ICU and ask patients with improved gcs that you are doing good you should go to ward and vacate the bed for our patient.

[USAMA @__bighappy__]

People would label drs as butchers but have you seen attendants of a patient behaving with other patients/attendants? They won't want to share beds when clearly there is a shortage of beds, they would want drs to check their patient with flu/GE before another serious patient.

[Selenophile @__aeipathy]

@tzash So they probably need better examples of professionalism from seniors and healthy working environment cause they are after all just interns and are there to learn.

[Selenophile @__aeipathy]

Boils my blood how unaware the public is about medicine as a profession and the bias they hold towards doctors. Inconceivable.

[Selenophile @__aeipathy]

She was at the hospital which is her workplace. This is rooted in lack of security for doctors in ER/opd/ICU/IPD. Young doctors are subjected to violence, harassment, threats, murders and acid attacks and there's nothing being done for their protection. That is the root.

[Nakşidil @tropiicalhoe]

The acid attack on the female doctor was a hate crime against wom*n rooted in patriarchy and systematic misogyny. It's got very little to do with her being related to the field of medicine.

[Selenophile @__aeipathy]

The occupational hazard of being a doctor is getting contagious infections by treating infected patients or traumatic injurues while using equipment. Being subjected to murders and acid attacks is a crime against humanity not an occupational hazard. Have some common sense.

[moeed ahmed @moeedahmed]

All occupations have occupational hazards. Nobody forced you to become a doctor, an army officer, a babu, or anything else. You yourself subscribed to it and made an informed decision because of the incentives. Daily, WAPDA linemen die because of electric shocks, yet we never see an outcry over them. Attaining a piece of paper doesn’t make you a special human being. Get out of your bubble and drop the entitlement.

[Hadiqa Kiani @Hadiqa_Kiani]

What happened to Dr. Mahnoor Nasir should shake us all. It is heartbreaking, horrifying and absolutely unacceptable.

A woman serving others in a hospital, a place meant for healing, was attacked while on duty… Dr. Mahnoor is not an isolated case.

[Dr M Shujat Rasool @DrMShujat]

We still remember how Express News highlighted the male doctor’s issue and portrayed it as harassment. But where is the mainstream media now? Where are Hamid Mir, Mansoor Ali Khan, Talat Hussain, Waseem Badami, and Iqrar-ul-Hassan? Why is there no prime time discussion on this heartbreaking incident? Where are the human rights organizations now? Why this silence when a doctor’s life has been destroyed?

[Zayla Ahmed @ZaylaAhmed0]

Yes, Doctors ki hi galti thi Jo lerki ne Zehr kha Liya.
Tell me a joke funnier than this.

[Shahroz Baloch @shahroz_baloch_]

Underpaid positions for doctors should be a crime.

It would naturally deteriorate healthcare.

If you want doctors who work passionately and improve overall health in society, the least you can do is pay them well.

[ess @anneofpakcables]

we need a policy to ban attendants from mobile phone usage inside hospitals. Complaints should be brought through proper channel i.e. DMS/ MS. Only then will we able to curb this rising tide of violence against doctors

[Young Doctors Association Pakistan Official @OfficialYDAPak]

A doctor’s salary is not just a line in a budget it is a statement of how much a society values the people entrusted with protecting its health. Fair pay reflects that value. #PayRaiseForDoctors

[Selenophile @__aeipathy]

What the public doesn't understand is that this mania against doctors will force them into some one who would just care about saving themselves from any kind of mess.

[Dr.Muddasir @madworld30]

I can confidently say that doctors are perhaps the only government employees who still show genuine humanity. However, due to government policies and the public's behavior, people may soon be deprived of that humanity as well,and in the end it is the common man who will suffer.

[Dr Ahmad Rehan Khan @AhmadRehanKhan]

A simple policy could solve many of the challenges faced by doctors and patients in Pakistan: One Patient, One Attendant.

In most developed countries, including the United States, only one attendant, or at most two, is allowed with a patient, and visiting hours are often strictly regulated. In Pakistan, it is common to see 10 or more attendants accompanying a single patient into emergency departments and hospital wards.

This creates overcrowding, compromises patient privacy, obstructs healthcare workers, increases the risk of conflicts, and makes it harder for doctors and nurses to provide timely care. It also causes inconvenience and discomfort to other patients and their families.

Every medical organization should strongly advocate for a One Patient, One Attendant Policy. It is a practical, low cost reform that can improve hospital efficiency, enhance patient safety, reduce violence against healthcare workers, and create a more organized healthcare environment for everyone.

[Biya Ali Zaib. @BiyaAli9]

It's time that doctors stop being lenient and call the police immediately if any attendant starts filming or sparks any absuse in the hospitals because neither government nor puppet administration of the hospitals are keen to save you in any sort of dispute.
