15: Munnabhai MBBS

  Kartavya: Duty with Dedication

Chapter 15:  Munnabhai MBBS

           
Is it possible for a patient to die not of a disease but of a drug? Seems strange. Medicines are meant to save lives. How can they kill the patient? What would be the scenario, suppose if an illiterate person examines a patient, administers drugs, injects and bottles? Yes, sickeningly, many illiterate Munnabhai MBBS’ are found in medical practices in remote villages.

            Once there was a flare-up of deceptive doctors gulling money by tampering with the health of uneducated and ignorant people in the distant villages of Aravalli district. The ineligible doctors without obtaining any required degree certificate used to treat people with conventional medicine. And so forth they were messing with people's health and committing unforgivable crimes at the cost of patients’ lives. Even a few of compounders were also carrying bags of medicine on bikes and going door-to-door delivering death in the name of medical treatment.

            When such cases came to the light, it became necessary for the police to act with strict hands and to teach lessons to such bogus doctors. Several informants collected details from different areas of the Aravalli district. The district SOG team got determined to set an example in the society by nabbing the bogus doctors. The police hatched a conspiracy to trap these so-called rogue doctors. They seized about fourteen fake medical practitioners along with a large quantity of medicines. Many other addas of such false doctors disappeared overnight as the police took action. People also came to know the truth by whom they were given medicine.


            There were many doctors practicing medicine without a degree. Such bogus bones disappeared overnight as the police took action.
People also came to know the truth that the rogues who gave them the medicines were actually Munnabhai MBBS.

            “No one has ever seen the God Almighty, but we consider the doctors as the envoys of the God. Inflicting physical and financial harm to patients suffering from poverty and illiteracy by giving them false hope is a serious matter. This matter has become grave serious in the post-corona period.

            The district police’s words reflect his determination:

“Maintaining peace in the society is the first responsibility of the police. We have also been vigilant about health matters and have taken strict action against the bogus doctors who are tampering with it. The district police have done commendable work. Police have played an important role in building ‘a bogus doctor free society’.”
