Since time immemorial, doctors have been revered, for their ability to save lives. Well, its not exactly an exalted profession, but certainly a prestigious one.

Most doctors offer a specialised service no other can. If you happen to know a seasoned surgeon, ask him or her, how many lives he had saved. Countless of course, that we probably already know.

What we may not have realised, is that somehow, should the doctor seemed to falters, a.k.a perceived to have made a mistake, hell ensues. People seem to suddenly forget, how much good the doctor had already done.

People seem to forget the doctor once helped changed their lives for the better.

For those of you who do not know, doctors don't earn alot. No idiot goes into medicine to earn money. Most of them began (whether how they became is another issue) with the purest of intentions.

We don't blame a roadsweeper for failing to sweep up some debris do we? Why then, do we levy such great expectations on a doctor? These 2 professions are in completely different leagues, yes I know. They are both humans, are they not? Susceptible to the same pain and anguish we feel.

Let's not be selfish bastards. Try not to ignore the white expanse of paper which bears the little black dot.
