Should doctors be tried in Consumer Courts?

In India doctors were considered as God as they save lives of people. This is one of the professions which gives an internal satisfaction.

For
- If a patient suffers because of the mistake of a doctor then he should be dragged to the consumer court.
- Legal actions should be taken against the doctor who is trying to do any illegal work.
- If a doctor tries to help any patient with anything illegal then he should be punished for his actions.
- In today’s time doctors have forgotten the promise which they make to their profession while getting into this profession.
- For a small amount of money they put people’s life at risk.

Against
- A doctor is a human being and is bound to make mistakes.
- For mistakes which he has not made knowingly, he cannot be tried in consumer court.
- Doctors always try to protect lives of people and do their duties very well.
- Doctors practicing honestly and ethically should not be tried in consumer court.

Doctors are life saviors and like any other professionals who provide their services to the society. They need to be loyal to their profession as well as honest to their customers. In case they don’t fulfill their duties then consumer should have the right to take them to consumer courts.
