Shaimaa Abu al - Khair Medical profession: when the magic turns on the magician!
Many health risks may affect citizens in a country and may lead to their lives. This is not strange, but it is strange that the patient's treating physician is the same person who is liable to die at any moment!
Violence against doctors in hospitals and health centers is no longer just an individual case, but it has spread and become a frightening phenomenon worthy of study. This is the lofty profession described by Shafei: "Do not live in a country where there is no world where there is no religion, no doctor tells you about your body, The forms of violence against doctors varied between verbal and physical violence, which can often result in premeditated murder. Violence is not confined to the doctor but extends to all workers in health centers, including workers, technicians, nurses and medical assistants.
Here we may ask about the motives for committing all forms of violence against the medical staff. To answer this question, let us look at some recent forms of violence in some hospitals and health centers of the Ministry of Health. Recently, there has been an increase in violence towards doctors. The most prominent of these facts were in the Heart Institute, as the doctor went out to the patient announcing the death of the patient after a catheterization until he was beaten by the patient's family and destroyed the medical equipment and the attack on medical staff inside the Institute, it is not only the destruction of equipment, but the risk is that the destruction of the structure a Infrastructure contributes to the destruction of the lives of patients and disabled doctors to play their role assigned to them, as well as how much frustration and psychological destruction of the medical staff because of their lack of the most important element in their professional lives, a safety.
In a deeper look, the most prominent psychological motives for committing the crimes of the parents against doctors are psychological trauma caused by the loss of life of a dear person or amputation of a member of the patient's body. All of these may have medical justification, but this justification does not concern the patient or his family. They ask the doctor to save their patients' lives. Otherwise, the punishment is serious. On the other hand, violence against a doctor is not limited to trauma, but may be caused by medical error or neglect. Doctors may only practice their profession for money, and the disaster is greater.
On the security side, the government must provide security and special protection for doctors not only to put some of the security personnel as guards at the entrances to hospitals, but for each unit and each department and each group of doctors should have a unit And the need to provide psychologists within each hospital and health center under the supervision of the Ministry of Health mission to talk to the patient and take into account the In the media, it is necessary to address the distortion campaigns of doctors, which cause the drawing of a bad mental image of the doctor or attempt to generalize some cases of medical negligence and make them the top of the medical scene in Egypt, and must raise awareness of schools and universities the seriousness of the attack on medical personnel and clarify the disadvantages that may arise from Violence against them, which may cause doctors to migrate or deliberately neglect in the performance of their duties, because it is very natural that the doctor when he finds himself at risk this will be reflected on his performance and the performance of his staff.
The only loser here is the citizen who wants to have the least right in his country, which is a hospital treatment that may sometimes lack the financial means as well. Hence, the psychological and professional pressures are the biggest motivation for the doctor to leave his country looking for a place where he is interested in providing resources Physical as well as providing psychological care and protection from risk.
