Would you like to be treated by a drunk doctor?




Recently we received this complaint from a patient having gone to the government hospital for check-up in the neighboring city. The patient complained that the doctor on duty who checked her up was drunk. It was shocking news. Healthcare provider community is regarded as the god in our society.

So, we headed towards that hospital to find out the truth. When we visited the doctor in question, he insisted being normal. But the signs and symptoms of his face and body revealed the truth. The smell coming out of his mouth was proving it.

On talking to other staff members of the hospital revealed that the doctor in question is alcoholic. And it is not the first time any patient has felt un-comfortable with getting treatment from him. This doctor was found having some relatives in the health ministry and other influential post saving his carrier despite the hospital authority trying to take action against him.

After having known all the facts, we are discussing what action should be taken against this doctor? On the other hand, while researching to decide the suitable action for this doctor, we found a similar news article in the Wall Street Journal & the same new article was found here as well.

Dental hygiene is vasty crucial to total health. Most individuals don't think of their oral hygiene as a part of their health, but many wellness associated issues stem from infections in the mouth. See your dentist twice a year and avoid any unecessary health complications that could have been avoided when you did your 2 yearly check ups.
