Doctors, the gods of the hospital...
They drift about the building having access to every room.
They come and go as it pleases them.
As they enter a room, the lower class leave out of respect.
Their years of school seem to make them all knowing.
Those beneath them are ignorant.
Yet I see them laugh at patients, ignore precautions, disregard their co-workers.
And they believe they are immune.
The doctor's word is law when it comes to care.
They scribble down orders without caring if it is unreadable.
Does years of schooling make one a god?
I find the ignorance lies in putting such power into the hands of humans merely because the highly esteemed word "doctor" appears before their name.
Do we not all have the ability to think, to discern, to decide?
One - love the blog, glad you decided to get one started (I love blogs)
ReplyDeleteTwo - your powers of observation, and the ability to put them into words, are excellent. What you said about Doctors can so go for many professions that required extensive education and money output. Seems that once they have the "degree" they are above everyone else. Of course not all are this way but enough to make your words ring true. Thanks!
Very interesting way to describe the actions of Doctors. I like it. At least I know of one Doctor that is not like that, although he is a lord of sorts.....=P
ReplyDelete@Ladyquilt - Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Katie - Haha, yes not all doctors are bad, even in real life. I see the good and the bad when it comes to doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, the number of doctors I've seen display some of these attitudes are unnerving. I have had the pleasure of meeting some really nice ones though.
I really enjoyed this post. Very good observation.
