Gosh i don't wanna say this and i know that exceptions are always there, but Pakistani doctors are very unprofessional and incompetent. In Pakistan the profession of medical is more of a money minting industry and even when you pay well, chances are you still wont get the treatment you deserve.

OMG! I don't know how to react.

 

[Humble Analyst]

Probably one of those young doctors who go on strike every now and then to increase the salaries.

Who gave this doctor degree?

WTF?????????????

What the...

 

[American Pakistani]

Medical negligence or fake doctor?

Many compounders and medical assistants after working for long time in a doctor's office start considering themselves as doctors. There should be strict monitoring of it.

 

[Dubious]

The heck? Someone take away that doc's license and NEVER allow him/her to practice...if they cant differentiate right side up of a finger.....no telling what other mess up they can commit!

Just one innocent question:
How can anyone on earth reattach a completely severed body without a team of highly professional and expert doctors raging from Anesthetist, Surgical Splst, Orthopadic, Neuro surgeon etc and there is no such team available even in near vicinity of Batagram. A quake doctor's work forsure. For this i wud not blame Pakistani Doctors, nor wud point fingers at their competence. We have likes of Dr Taj who practices in a Govt Hospital to name a few.
