@WikkiWhite @saadqureshi @DrMShujat تو بھائی کل کو کسی خاتون کو گولی لگتی ھے۔۔ اور ایمرجنسی ھے تو بیٹھے رہنا خاتون ڈاکٹر کے انتظار میں۔۔۔

کون لوگ او تسی!

[Dr Ahmad Rehan Khan @AhmadRehanKhan]

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.

A young doctor requested just one thing.

“Sir, I got married recently. Can I spend my first Eid with my family?”

The answer was no.

While millions of people travel home for Eid, many doctors report for duty. They miss family gatherings, weddings, birthdays, funerals, and the moments they can never get back. Not because they want to, but because hospitals never close.

The irony is painful.

When a shop closes on a holiday, people understand.
When a plumber charges extra on a holiday, people understand.
When offices shut down for Eid, people understand.

But when doctors ask for fair pay, better working conditions, or even the chance to spend an Eid with their loved ones, many act as if doctors are not human.

A doctor in Pakistan may work 24-36 hour shifts, treat hundreds of patients, face violence from attendants, work in overcrowded wards, and sacrifice family time yet often receives no special allowance for public holidays and earns far less than many professionals carrying far less responsibility.

Every exhausted doctor standing in an emergency ward on Eid is missing a family waiting at home.

Every doctor treating your loved one on a holiday is someone else's loved one too.

If society wants safe hospitals and better patient care, it must also care about the people providing that care.

Respect for doctors is not a privilege.

It is an investment in healthcare itself.

Sir @BilalQutab Shb, this video was taken from one of your Facebook social media accounts and has received millions of views, in which you invited a fake hakeem on your platform. He is openly advising the public to stop taking antihypertensive medicines, and unfortunately, you are supporting him.

Can you honestly swear that if you yourself had even a severe headache, you would avoid going to PIMS or a qualified doctor and instead visit a hakeem? If someone in your own family developed CKD, would you take them to a hakeem instead of a nephrologist?

If your answer is no, then this is intellectual dishonesty and public misinformation. Through this platform, millions of people may be misled regarding serious conditions like hypertension, CKD, and diabetes.

You should invite qualified nephrologists and physicians to discuss such sensitive medical issues instead of promoting fake hakeems who spread dangerous advice.

[Dr M Shujat Rasool @DrMShujat]

Just got to know that the doctor is from Services Hospital and has completed his training in Neurology. To put things into perspective for people: 5 years of MBBS, 1 year of house job, probably around 2 years working in peripheral setups, and then 5 years of Neurology training — nearly 13 years of relentless hard work, sleepless nights, sacrifices, and dedication… only to receive this kind of “respect” from society.

[Dr Ahmad Rehan Khan @AhmadRehanKhan]

In this video, it is clearly visible that after examining the patient, the doctor calmly asks the attendant to bring the slip so he can prescribe medication. Instead of cooperating, the attendant becomes rude, raises his voice, and disrupts doctors who were already busy attending to other patients. Despite the unnecessary aggression, both duty doctors remained respectful and professional throughout the interaction.

Such behavior towards healthcare workers must be condemned. Young doctors are already working under extreme pressure, often exceeding 100 hours per week, including exhausting 48 hour shifts, while receiving minimal salaries and little institutional protection. Unfortunately, certain government policies and narratives are fueling hostility and dehumanization against doctors instead of addressing the real problems within the healthcare system.

If this continuous disrespect, abuse, and burnout of young doctors is not stopped, the healthcare system itself risks complete collapse.

@AhmadRehanKhan Dr Ahmed!
Really appreciate your stance and respect towards community.
Standing for rights. Otherwise people go abroad and never look back.
May ALLAH bless you.

Never question govt that why there is no vein detector in NICU for neonates but yes blame the staff who were trying their best.

[Dr. Rafi @DrRafi_]

Pakistan’s current health spending per person in 2021–22 was only:

PKR 8,526 per year
= about PKR 710 per month
= about PKR 24 per day

Now ask honestly:

Can Rs 24 per day cover medicines, beds, equipment, staff, emergency care and doctors?

No.

This is why hospitals are overloaded and doctors are expected to cover system failure with sacrifice.

You cannot run healthcare on Rs 24 per person per day.

@Saminakhan4000 Same like Karachi's budget.

Btw health budget is just 0.9% of Gdp.

is it ethical to not pay people good who are supposed to save your lives and work 80+ hrs and have a family to provide ??

[Jesse Ozone @Jessseglee]

Is it ethical for doctors not to be paid well knowing they have families?

[Dr Javaid Iqbal @DrJavaidIqbal10]

Doctors are the backbone of the healthcare system, yet many in Pakistan are underpaid, overworked and exhausted.We demand at least a 50% salary raise along with proper allowances for doctors working day and night for patient care #payRaiseForDoctors #PayRaiseForDoctors #foryou

[Bahar Shah @drbaharshah]

International doctors checking flight deals. Pakistani doctors checking dal prices.
Pakistani doctors deserve Olympic medals for surviving on these salaries.
Doctor abroad: “I bought property.”
Pakistani doctor: “I bought extra fries today.”

5 years MBBS + house job + residency = enough salary for one family pizza night.
Pakistani doctors working 30-hour shifts for the financial reward of a mid-range smartphone EMI.
The only thing growing faster than a Pakistani doctor’s experience is inflation.

[Dr. Rafi @DrRafi_]

Now look at health spending:

Pakistan spends about 2.9% of GDP on health.

UK spends about 10.9% of GDP.

Australia spends about 10.4% of GDP.

So Pakistan has:

low health spending

fewer doctors
low doctor pay

And still expects high-quality care?

That is not logic.

You cannot strengthen healthcare while weakening its frontline.

At the end of the day, Doctor gets hate from Govt, Patient, family, No money, Exams, No social events.

The patients lose too but in delusion of Govt's blanket.
