Physicians are not devils or villains

 M A Hossain
There are hundreds of categories of professions, where only few are service oriented while rest are mere profit making. Journalism always is considered as noble profession and for that reason,press is considered as one of the pillars of democracy. But this brief article is about those people, who select the profession of a physician. There is no argument that most of the doctors dedicate themselves towards service to the humanity while may be a small fractions indulge into mere money making.In Bangladesh, every doctor is required to spend at least three years in the rural areas. This is a mandatory provision, failing which ,license issued to the doctors would be revoked.While the government has to imposed this serious provisions, the ground reality is - there even are no housing or accommodation facility for this doctors to stay in the rural areas. It must be reciprocal from government's side to provide services into root level. If government thinks doctors must follow this rules as they have chosen a noble profession, we may ask - is choosing a service oriented profession a crime.
