YDA strike violates Hippocratic oath, Constitution, says LHC judge

Below is the Excerpt of Modern Hippocratic Oath and decide on your own that they are violating it or not???

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow;

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.

I will not be ashamed to say “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body, as well as the infirm.

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection hereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

Is there a limit to the extant these courts can support Sharifs
THIS OATH HAS NO LEGAL VALUE IT IS JUST AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL
TRYING TO SUBJUGATE DOCTRS WILL NOT WORK
JUDGES MUST REMEBER THEIR OATH TO CONSTITUTION WHICH THEY ARE FAILING TO KEEP

Down with Petition Mafia!!!!
The easiest way to handle the situation now-a-days is negociations

when did the judiciary become immune to all sorts of criticism? contempt of court? seems like everything thing is contempt of court these days. the judiciary has become a decadent and toothless body exercising authority on the weak while nudging and winking at the elite.
although the concept is essential and noble but implementation and actual power of getting things done is lacking. why did the court not take action when punjab govt failed to fulfill their promises to the YDA? who authorized the arrests of young doctors which set alight a fire in the chest of every young doctor in the country leading them to close opds in kpk and balochistan? do these lawyers and judges know anything about the plight of a young Doc? can they take care of patients by themselves? thier job is much easier than the job of a doc and i must say much less important aswell. and if that qualifies as contempt of court them i am guilty. they forget that when they will one day get sick or be on their deathbed they will also remember those docs that they once condemned.

you must give priority and allocate sufficient funds to the healthcare sector if u really care about poor patients not arrest underpaid and overworked young doctors who were protesting against their work environment. they are not your slaves. why would anyone want to become a doctor in pakistan or stay in pakistan after becoming a doctor after seeing the contempt of the medical profession conducted by the govt and the courts.

This is the future of all students in a country run by Sharifs. If you want change, reject these tyrants who operate under the garb of democracy. Vote for change!

I dont know whether all the doctors are miles away from logical reasoning or it is just the YDA members ???? You violate your oath and say that you are doing so because politicians or judges are not following their oath ??? What a point really …

Now coming to your demands

You want induction in BPS 18 , does any country or any institution therein give such an offer ??? In which scale are doctors of sindh , balochistan , Kpk or any indian province inducted ???
What if they accept your illogical and illegal demand and you go to strike to get 20th or 22nd grade ??? I am sorry to say that YDA has made doctors equal to clerks … Have you ever seen any officer of any deportment going for strike ???? It is really disgusting to see out massihas behavi in this manner …

And coming to your point of forced labour , who has stopped you from resigning ??? None of your follows resigned , rather you decided to hijack the system and risk the lives of innocents to get more perks … Isn’t it cruel ???

And you receive 60,000 + each month . Does any BPS 17 officer of any department get that much pay ??? What about the Army officers , csp officers , pms officers and others ??? Dont you thinlk you have already taken far more than you really deserve ???

I wish the.honourable court canceles your licences and makes you a lesson for the doctors to come ;)Recommend

@Obaid: not all doctors are towing the line of YDA. They are a disgrace to our profession, and should have their licenses revoked. If money were such a HUGE matter, they should have joined private practice. Killing patients is what they are doing. I cannot understand how a doctor can stand that?? How can you ever call yourselves doctors?? You are disgracing our profession! Your reasoning infuriates me and all sane people… Utterly disgusting!

This is utter misgovernance and state terrorism! Any sane mind, any unbiased observer would deem the demands of young doctors right. What they are demanding is a protected job and future and is this wrong? As for strike, it should not have happened but I think they have been pushed to wall after several deceptions by the nincompoop people at helm of affairs in Punjab government. Even in UK, just 2 weeks ago more than 100 thousand doctors threatened strike and UK government has to accept their rightful demands. Those who are criticizing the young doctors have not understood their plight and those quoting Hippocrates’s oath not know a word about it.
Very sad that the top cream of nation, the young professionals are being treated as captives of war! Another shameful chapter for the shameless added to history!

No one is trying to force doctors into forced labour. If they don’t like the pay they can change their profession. So the others can take their place. If they want to stay within their profession then they have an obligation to save lives and help sick and needy.There are other methods they can use to achieve the pay rise other than letting people die.
These doctors should be ashamed of their action. They are behaving like butchers.
They should be held responsible if anyone dies because of their selfish actions.
This society pays for their education. They have an obligation to pay back by treating the sick.

@ babar khan & other Doctor brothers & sisters; : how can you say that your demands are right ???? you already have a well protected job and a huge salary. you enjoy the service protection under “civil servants rules “. you already have a well to do service structure. your pay is far more than the Army officers, CSP officers and other executive officers. Still you cry and demand MORE !!!!! You have developed a habit of playing with lives of people. If the government of Punjab accepts your demands, you would go for another strike next year, asking for more perks and privileges. I know most of you are sorry for this idiotic step of yda but when you play with the people, you have to listen the music…. ;-)

People-authority and the so called literate and the intellectuals- tell us of the Hippocrates Oath to make us realize that we might be something more than a human while actually proving us less than a human. My advice is atleast try to be a human so that maybe then we might also treat you as one!

And where do we go when the courts break the law?
