Today I introduced The Healthcare Personnel and Healthcare Institutions (Prohibition of Violence and Damage to Property) Bill, 2023 in the LokSabha.

On May 10, 2023, Dr Vandana Das, a young doctor driven by a commitment to serve humanity, tragically lost her life at the hands of a patient she was caring for in the emergency room. While recognising that nothing would bring back their only child, I had pledged to her parents that her death would not be in vain. She is not alone: It is currently estimated that 75% of doctors face physical &verbal abuse during their service. No doctor should have to fear for their safety while fulfilling their duty.

As promised, I have thus moved a private member’s bill in Parliament to protect medical personnel. It makes acts of violence against healthcare personnel, including paramedical students &workers, administrative staff & ASHA workers, a cognisable and non-bailable offence. It requires speedy investigation and sentencing within a specified time frame & the establishment of designated special courts in every district.

If passed, my Bill should be known as the Vandana Das Act, in honour of the brave young medical martyr. @mansukhmandviya

Consultants forget the basic dictum of medical education:

“You have to train them before you blame them.”

[Dr. Praveen Tripathi @drpraveenpsy]

A patient of mine who quit cannabis almost a year back after developing depressive symptoms reported that he still struggles with the craving.
The problem with him is that he no longer knows how to 'enjoy' without cannabis.
When you use a drug, gradually enjoyment becomes equivalent to the drug use, and the social circle too becomes limited to other users. It's a slippery slope.
Best is to avoid this journey.
