As many as 300 patients breathed their last in Lahores hospitals owing to doctors strike that lasted for more than forty long days. The dead are beyond recall and the damage beyond repair. None else but the doctors alone are responsible for the deaths of helpless patients. Ironically, the doctors who are called the saviours became savage when they declined to attend the patients in emergency even. They even did not see the persons who were removed to the emergency after ghastly accidents with broken arms and legs and they were drenched with blood to their broken bones. For the kind information of those who still sympathise with the doctors, it is worth mentioning here that the doctors strike was against Emergency Services Ordinance 2002 besides being immoral and illegitimate. On the one hand the government is anxious to remove the stigma of murder on Zulfikar Ali Bhutto after 32 long years through a reference in the apex court but has conveniently ignored the murders the doctors have committed. I am afraid if ever in future the doctors will have certain demands, will they again resort to such apathy that claimed 300 lives of the poor wretched patients. Will the doctors again metamorphose into savage from saviours? MUBUSHAR ALI SULEHRIA,Wah Cantt.
