Doctor Essay for Class 7 Students

A Doctor is a person who helps to keep human health in healthy condition. Doctors help patients to get relief from their pain. Doctors play a very essential role in human life. We can say Doctors are the incarnation of the god. In India, we celebrate National Doctor’s Day on July of 1st to thank physicians and doctors for their dedicated services to patients. 

Becoming a doctor is not an easy task. Educationally, it's a very challenging part to earn a degree with good knowledge and marks. A doctor’s routing life is not as easy as normal people. They don't have a fixed lifestyle like five days of working or only an 8 hours time slot and so on. They have to be available any seconds of the emergency. There will be any type of emergencies such as an accident, any unbearable pain in any organ or any other reason relating to the patient. A doctor should keep calm and help patients. Doctors build friendly relations with patients to make them comfortable. Doctors always have to be alert on their duty. Doctors cannot afford to make any single mistake, because one of their mistakes can lose patient life. 

A stressful life and changes in the environment can be detrimental to our health. Unhealthy and chaotic nutrition is adopted by people who work around the clock. Being too busy involves a high level of stress, a cause for multiple diseases. In such a situation doctors become an indispensable part of our life. There are different doctors for different patient problems. For dental problems, we have to visit the dentist. Similarly, Orthopedic, Gynecologic, Pediatrician, Veterinarian, etc. In Pandemic situations like COVID 19, doctors play a very vital role. Without their support, it's impossible to fight against it. In such scenarios, doctors play roles like soldiers who help us to fight against COVID 19 compromising their life too.

Nowadays, the medical field has changed. Due to some greedy people, the entire system has changed. The expense of medical education is much higher than other education. Hence some doctors start to recover from Patients by misleading them. Many corporate hospitals decide the treatment of patients as per their income source. On the other hand, most of the time some doctors prescribes medicine which has a higher cost because such brands provide some gifts or tours to doctors. Some time on the power of money, underserved students also get a degree. Such incompetent doctor’s treatment adversely affects the patient’s life. Even though in India many students get degrees with good knowledge, most of these doctors prefer to fly to other countries with good income sources. On the other hand in India, most of the rural areas, poor patients deprived of better medical treatment.

As we know, every coin has two sides. Some good examples are also available in society; these doctors can earn good money and can enjoy a good, comfortable life. But they can’t because they believe in humanity. Dr. Prakash Baba Amate is one of the best examples of such a great doctor.

Improving healthcare for the underprivileged has been the focus for many doctors. Most of us live in urban India, where the healthcare facilities are relatively better (you would know if you ever visit a village or rural area, where one has to travel miles to meet a doctor). There are plenty of doctors, nurses and assisting medical staff. Private hospitals charge more than the government hospitals, but the former also provide us with timely, best quality healthcare. 

The scenario is however not hopeful among the rural regions of India. A large population of India still resides in villages, and it is concerning to know that they struggle to find affordable health care options. This prevents them, coupled with the lack of overall knowledge and acceptance of modern medical facilities, to approach a doctor. This can and often does give rise to endemic diseases such as malaria, polio, etc. The spread is rampant due to unhygienic conditions and non-treatment of the affected individuals. The situation further deteriorates when the system fails to acknowledge these shortcomings or turn a blind eye to their suffering. Deaths often go under reported and the disposal of dead bodies in fresh water bodies create a whole different set of deadly consequences. The privileged sections of the society must therefore unite and stand for these people and create remedies on both institutional and social level for change.

Conclusion

Through this essay, we learned that doctors are an invaluable gift to our society, especially as we are reeling through the COVID-19 pandemic. Their years worth of preparation, practice and resilience is definitely worth our respect and admiration. While they sometimes overwork to compensate for our weak infrastructure and growing health needs, we can personally contribute in other ways such as assisting through NGOs and spreading more digital and social awareness. And lastly, we must value and respect our doctors who have been a boon to our society for centuries now.
