My take on this viral video:
When a patient presents with an altered level of consciousness, doctors routinely assess responsiveness using painful stimuli, including a sternal rub. Based on the video, it appears the doctor was examining the patient in the presence of her relatives. Only Allah knows what was in his heart, but from a clinical perspective, this looks far more like a medical examination than harassment.
The bigger questions are: Why are cameras allowed inside hospitals? How can someone record and publicly share a video of a doctor without consent? The Punjab government has restricted doctors from using mobile phones during duty hours, but what about patients and attendants recording healthcare workers without permission?
The level of hatred and hostility being directed at doctors in Pakistan has reached alarming proportions. Young doctors are already working exhausting hours under immense pressure, yet every incident is instantly turned into a social media trial without waiting for facts.
The government, private medical college and hospital mafia, and years of neglect of the healthcare system have all contributed to this toxic environment. Some responsibility also lies with prominent doctor influencers who have large platforms but often remain silent when doctors face public vilification.
If the video proves wrongdoing, action should be taken. But if it shows a legitimate clinical examination, then the character assassination of a healthcare worker is equally unacceptable. Facts must matter more than viral outrage.
The deeply concerning reports from MCPS interviews at Independent Medical College Faisalabad where MS openly offered unpaid training while the CPSP Regional Director remained silent sitting in the board.We condemn this exploitation.CPSP must hold accredited institutes accountable
Tf? every unconscious patient lands in emergency, i immediately pinch them to see response to painful stimulus, another lesson someone might be secretly recording you
Omar Suleiman in one of his Ramadan series episode said;
If Allah can be patient, waiting for you to return to Him and doesnโt punish you immediately after you commit a sin, why canโt you be patient with His plans and trust Him over your own desires?
Eid preparations are at their peak, but we are proud of all the doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers who continue serving humanity from hospital wards and emergency rooms while the world celebrates. Their dedication, sacrifice, and commitment deserve immense respect.
