Doctors` strike claims 44 lives in Rajasthan

Zeenews Bureau

Jaipur: The indefinite strike of government doctors, demanding a hike in salary, entered the fifth day on Sunday and paralysed medical services in parts of Rajasthan.

Due to unavailability of medical assistance 44 people have died in different parts of Rajasthan. Patients in several district hospitals, primary health centers and dispensaries are suffering due to non-availability of doctors.

The authorities have so far suspended 41 striking doctors while 379 have been arrested under the Rajasthan Essential Services Maintenance Act (RESMA).

Of the total of 8,503 doctors in government services, 5,600 are on strike, throwing the system out of gear.

Meanwhile, the state government has handed over three hospitals to Border Security Force (BSF) in Barmer, Jaisalmer and Bikaner.

The government has also published a list of private hospitals where the patients can get treated free of cost.

The Government and the Doctors should be punished for the deaths occurring due to the rude behavior of governemtn and doctors. This is literacy in India by doing the unjustice to the innocent patients. The Government always created such a kind of situation hence the same is fully respon sible for these lapses on the part of doctors. God help the innocent patien ts. Government never thinks about the patient. Jago Patients Jago P.C. SHARMA, RTI & SOCIAL ACTIVIST

doctors go to school for 9 years to get that degree and what they get 16000 , and mba gets 50000 , i think doctors should leave india and then government should beg them to come back

Its very sad to see plight of doctors and common man too. People think that doctors are criminals and doctors cannot feed there families, My advice to the current physicians is to think critically as going to strike will only harm the common man. People think that doctors have lots of money and are greedy and that perception will never change. My advice is that docs in India have three options.1. leave profesion, start any other profession and you will earn good money. 2. The physicians who want to serve should go back to work and should not complain about salary as you did not enter it for money. Keep working for ~ 100 hous per week, dare not demand any money 3. Leave India go to any western country, earn good money and miss India for the rest of your life. 4. There is no fourth choice, if some one has fourth choice, please let me know as I still want to treat patients in India,,

The govt system had become useless by these politicians. Doctors had given time to govt.but it could nt get into its deaf ear. Had the govt and public taken s met their genuine demand the situation could have been avoided. When patient die people accused doctors angle turn in to demons bt its the society which had tagged them business man by bringing them under conumer protection act.This is hypocrasy. My point hav any one seen the working conditions in govt. Hospital? Their demands are genuine. How many poltician go to govt. Hospital for treatment? They r simple playing cruel game with public. Public should ask 4m these netas who r actually reponsible. Dont make the drS soft target.

These doctors who are in strike are criminal, murderer and i request Judiciaries to take strong action against them. In this Profession, Doctors have no right of strike. If they are not happy with government or their plan and policy they can demonstrate or show their agitation by other ways also, like: 1. Work without payment (Boycotting salary),. 2. Wearing Black tags.....Doctors did unlawful act and they must get their punishment. request Judiciary to take against responsible government for this.

Keep wearing Black Tags..the deaf and dumb beaurocrats & politicians pay no heed.Doctors had been protesting by wearing black ribbons..nothing happened.What is wrong in demanding a decent salary?How can you run a home in Rs 16000, in Delhi even nursing staff gets better salary than a Doctor in Rajasthan.And no promotions..you keep on working on the same post you joined service for more than 15 to 20 years.Things have to be changed.We are more humane than anyone else in the society..we don`t want to go on strike..but the congress government out here wants to do what they are doing to Anna hazare & Baba ramdev..cheat & opress..arrest doctors on false charges,putting them in jail, spread propoganda against doctors through some news channels & press..

Doctos are divine angles placed between life and death. Asking for hike in salary sitting on the heap of dead bodies of untreated patients, will surely severly condemned by God who made them His angles to save patients.
