An Opinion on the Art of Dealing with the Patient

Physicians are being honoured as the most honourable personalities in the society. To specify their position in the society it is said that, they are like the Gods "Vaidya Bhagawan". They are honoured not only by the common people but also by the kings. The tradition of appointing "ROYAL PHYSICIAN - RAJAVAIDYA" is being continued since time immemorial. Since a physician gives "life and freedom from suffering" to a diseased person he/she is considered to be the person earning the spiritual peace "DHARMA".

But, with all the honour and respect, the physicians have many precautions to be followed during their practice as simultaneously with the honour they are susceptible to dishonour and defamation. Hence the art of dealing with the patients should be earned by each and every physician.
