Indian Medical Association, Andhra Pradesh chapter, has appealed to the people to refrain from blaming doctors when unforeseen situations arise during the treatment of patients.
IMA, AP chapter president C. Srinivasa Raju along with other members of the chapter here on Saturday paid tributes to Archana Sharma, who ended her life following alleged harassment by a local leader in Rajasthan following the death of a woman, who died during childbirth.
Dr. Raju said that doctors always strive to save the lives of their patients and want the latter to regain health, but in some unfortunate cases patients die due to various causes. It was unjust to wholly blame doctors for the death of patients and make them scapegoats, he said and added that taking advantage of such situations anti-social elements were resorting to physical attacks on doctors and hospitals.
