Most doctors are unsuitable to the profession in Sri Lanka
Posted on April 16th, 2010

Chinthana Helagama, England.

Medical service, Education and Transport should be non profit based services in a country. Profiteering in all services brought about by the Western governance concept is truly inhuman and inferior. Heladiva (SL) as a country which has givenƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  priority to humanity is exceptionally noble in the world. Although, we too were caught up in the Western degradation; the noble Hela concept is not fully disappeared.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ To write about doctors cropped up due to the very sad loss of my brother in lawƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s life by money grabbing parasites masquerading as doctors and who will continue their barbaric extortion to so many other citizens, should deserve to be exposed as a matter of duty.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ My BIL was a regular visitor to doctors. When he visits his regular doctor very often he is sent to her other colleague doctors for various tests of some sort at extra cost. Even this went on for years, none of the doctors had discovered he had heart problems. During a recent telephone conversation between my bil and his daughter living in Australia; she suspected that all is not well with her father and decided to come home immediately to get her fatherƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s health checked and attend to any problems. A few days before she arrived the doctor has asked my bil to get himself admitted immediately to Navaloka private hospital in Colombo. Without any discussion with his family he rushed himself from Kandy to get admitted to Navaloka in Colombo. There the local doctors had diagnosed to be acute arterial blockage but refused to offer surgical treatment. Yet an eager Indian doctor has grabbed the opportunity to operate for four and half lakhs. Family was told that the operation was successful but later he was not allowed to regain consciousness apparently for the patientƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s own good and put him on a machine at further high costs. During this time patientƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s daughter arrived and spoken to the Indian surgeon. His abrupt response was that the machine can be switched off if she wished. She suspected if her father even had undergone proper surgery or a cover up for making more money.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ In summing up this tragic death, questions arise of extreme inhumanity in the behaviour of doctors.

  • So many doctors and tests over a number of years could not diagnose heart complaint, shows that these doctors are unsuitable for the noble profession. Many parents force their children towards the medical profession for glory and social status than the noble service it demands. They should have been more suitable to have let them become profit making traders.
  • The instruction given by the doctor to go to the private hospital Navaloka is quite improper arousing suspicion of a partnership for commission!
  • To become a doctor the prime qualification is dedication to the service of humanity. Having misfit doctors is very harmful to the nation and country.
  • These bogus doctors are one of the main gangs of the society who are hell bent on exploiting innocent citizens even to the extent of causing untimely death. They know even the poorest people will not hesitate to find the money at any cost to save the patient.
  • These labelled doctors live in self glorified world that they know it all and rarely communicate with the patient to discover the illness. Instead, they immediately resort to writing long prescriptions for more money with the focus on quickly getting in the next patient for more money.
  • Although, this ghastly high handed attitude of the doctors are rampant, the patient or relatives dare not talk to them in fear. To expose these barbaric individuals masquerading as doctors is timely, justifiable and a sense of duty.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Suggestions to stop producing misfit doctorsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 

  • Education department should prepare a talent tapping system at early age. The naturally inherent skills of children are discovered and channelled them towards their individual skills producing good professionals, like within the Russian educational system.
  • One vital need is to prepare a new subject called Humanism and make it compulsory. To teach at an early age good and bad right and wrong and for the children to grow with moral nutrition throughout their life. Presently, this vital service is not offered to the children through the temples and Dhamma classes. Hence, a subject like Humanism should be compulsory from early education right up to higher studies, enabling to produce good citizens as well as good doctors.

    Why cannot SL follow Canadian way to the medical profession?

    In Canada those who want to be DOCTORS must have involved in SOCIAL SERVICE programs before following medical degree. No one can go to Medical Fuculty right away from school. First they must study their “degree”course for three years while they must show their skills in social service.

    A very pertinent article and wish the title is extended to cover more people claiming to be professionals. Having seen how people become doctors and practice what they parroted, I have no doubt about your story.

    There are many who are yet to understand that the system of governance, that essentially decides all aspects of life including health is a superimposed English model that retains full control over every natural need for life to continue (eg: water, food, health, shelter, security etc.) further diluted to guarantee that we go nowhere. If not for Sinhala influences that you mentioned, our whole country could have been a large hospital full of sick and dying people like the west. Having lived in Lanka and in an English colony, I find the system in Lanka is more English (outdated) than in English colonies where changes have taken place due to influence of migrants. So what your BIL went through is just another example.

    I wonder why we trust western medicine as the conduct of some doctors are publicly identified in the west as similar to that of butchers. If I took the prescriptions I received over the years from my family doctor, I could have been a chemical storage facility by now. Unfortunately, we are the best to diagnose our own health condition if we could enhance our own self-consciousness. Never trust any doctor, but check with another if you have doubts about your health. If they tell two different stories either go for a third or just ignore. Having abandoned the best known treatments for our ills devised to extend life ( Ayu wadana = Ayuweda) that came free from the well-respected member of the society, now in the hands of snake oil vendors, we are paying a heavy price. Since the government is more English than English, any useful effort to get rid of this tragic situation requires concerted effort by capable people to revive and overtake the challenge posed by bogus western propaganda targeting the gullible people.

    If people know what they consume as medicine and how they are manufactured and quality assured, they would prefer to consume something that ends life (this happens in the west) quickly than a slow painful death that will turn the kith and kin to become penniless in the process. We know how well English governments take every penny that we earn. I can not reveal more details, but can confirm that almost every parent feeds ‘formalin” mixed with a cocktail of other chemicals to even the infants as part of a popular over-the-counter drug to treat a natural discomfort under the belief that it is a disease. How much money do they make by labelling natural human responses as diseases? The more you try to stop those responses, more severe the body responses. So the health industry makes more money by selling more and more chemicals as medicines. Some actually kill even the healthy if consumed. I see many of my fellow Sinhala speaking migrants cursing upon themselves for not listening to people like us, who enjoy the horrible pain of life as side effects of chemicals they consumed over time believing butchers.

    Your proposals are a very good starter. But, if we chose the desire to live a normal life as a human longer, there are many other essential parameters that have to be addressed. As I understand, those in power are aware of the need to come up with solutions, may be due to people like us who see the futility of following a dysfunctional and suicidal system alien to us. But, they have no clue to do anything as they are nose dip in the same s….

    Though I believe a virtual human life is not just feasible, but practical, having done nothing in that direction by any of our predecessors, embracing death (considered as inevitable by the vast majority of defeatists) under certain circumstances would be more helpful to the living than trying to delay (the inevitable). I hope, we could see a change in this gullible thinking for the better as anticipated by you. Every human has a natural right to good health as one unhealthy person involved in reproductive process can contribute to the extinction of a whole community over time.

    Lawyers are the biggest crooks in Sri Lanka. Government is scared to take action against the rogue professionals, so innocent people suffer
