Is this left of our Nobel profession?

Gradual degeneration of professional values in almost every walk of life does not surprise any more. High  priests, doctors, judges, lawyers, leaders,  teachers or administrators name any profession or vocation where we don't see  a rapid fall of all those values which the very same person is supposed to behold! The least said the best.

This case of PGI Chandigarh's cardiac surgeon who was also heading his department is probably the first of its kind in the world where the "supposed life giver" was operating and minting money even from dead bodies! Shame, shame shame.

What do I read in this episode?

It was not possible for this scandalous practice to go on for several years without the knowledge of many who were around the accused surgeon Dhaliwal! But look at the irony, no one dared to bring this to the notice to the public at large!

Why?

Afraid of being persecuted? why bother? nothing will happen? and some similar sounding voices will come up.

Let us ask ourselves, how many of us are also aware of rampant scandalous practices of different nature perpetuated in our profession? and what do we do about it? Most of us do nothing about it!

This instance of successful prosecution of a senior heart surgeon Dhaliwal from a reputed institution of national prestige must help to repose some faith in the scared or unconcerned minds (all is not dead), so that more such corrupt and dirty weed can be eradicated from the Nobel profession of medicine.
