Victim blaming is usually a simple logic of an issue and ignoring many hidden factors for the problem . Violence against doctor is currently seen from a tubular lenses of victim blaming . Therefore, I am writing this article from different perspectives

There is a striking similarity between the attitude towards girls molestation and violence against doctors
Usually, I prefer to write on difficult social issues.  However today I decide to write against a much controversial issue: violence against physicians. I can sense the attitude towards the problem of aggression against a medical practitioner is very close to the attitude towards female molestation. I agree reason of comparison is because of my gender and profession.  However, there are other pieces of evidence which can prove the point.
There is no argument that in our society young girls are often blamed for visiting places where they shouldn’t go. Similarly, doctors often criticised for choosing their location and area of practice. Just like molestation, violence towards doctor often labelled as health practitioners incompetence. In my opinion, it is not the fault of the victim, but the people who show disrespect are often anti-social.
How can a fearful doctor fully participate in society? Doctors are human beings and not merely a robot.  I can agree that there can be cases of violence against doctor as this is a public dealing profession. However, I cannot agree with the argument that professional need to sanction such brutality.
It is evident from current incidences that there is a rise in the cases of violence. However, current attitude of government, police and other higher society is not justifiable. Let one point must be clear, abuse of any sort with any gender and with any profession is not permissible. Any amount of argument cannot justify violence, and it needs protest or least raising the voice against anti-social elements of the society.

In the shadow of a glass and more

022 (3)

 

It all started with the habit of having one or two glasses of wine during my college days.

I was a go-getter and a smart young man with friends all around. I was proud to get my first salaried job after just completing my teens. Life was a blessing, and everything was near perfect. Going to the office, coming back with success stories, and chatting with friends was my daily routine. However, work pressure slowly crept in, and I started spending my evenings with a glass or two. Gradually, arguments with my friends increased, and I started using slang after drinking. After that, many people claimed to see me coming to the office after having a glass or two. I met an accident while drunk driving, and after using the randomized breath testing device, police found me more than three glasses of wine above the limit. In spite of repeated warnings, I couldn’t resist the urge to drink at the office. Thus, I lost my job. One glass was no longer enough for me, and I started drinking an entire bottle, and then more. The habit of drinking alcohol created new health problems for me. Accidents became more frequent, and I started complaining of abdominal pain. Some even notice that I do forget a thing or two. Sometimes, I see I look much older than my buddies of my age, but still, I don’t think all this is because of a glass of wine; it may be because I don’t eat healthy food. I agree I skip my meals to have more glasses of wine or say I forget to have my meals after drinking.

Secretly, I repent having my first glass of wine. If I go to my younger self for once and ask him to stop at that one glass, maybe I would never spend the rest of my life in the shadow of glass and more.
