Attacking Doctors
There have been a spate of newspaper articles , where real or imagined deficiency in medical services provided, delay in the waiting rooms and other factors have resulted in the death of patients.

Human beings respond to this with
frustration and anger, often looking with disbelief at the Godly human being
who let them down so badly.
The solution "Attack,
Attack!"
Overcrowding and human error do
not help. Nor do mute spectators.
The doctors who are attacked are
inured and hospitalized. The ones who escaped smugly feel “this cannot happen
to me”.
(It can and it might)
(It can and it might)
It is all very well to talk about
inculcating empathy and training in human relationships as part of the already
overloaded medical curriculum. I doubt it will help.
A soft answer will turn away
wrath, only if there is time to give it!
There is another practical
solution to this Catch-22 situation.
People who learn martial arts are
physically fit, mentally alert, slow to anger, in control of their emotions and
quick to react. Their stance and responses are swift and SCARY.
This is often enough.
Training in Krav Maga, karate,
Kung Fu and silambam will incorporate all these traits.
Remember age is no bar to
learning martial arts.
The look, confident walk and reaction of the medical professional will deter would be assailants. (Speaking from practical experience, having stoically and staunckly stood my ground a couple of times).

A well articulated loud “Hai, ”
with a warrior stance usually stops would be assailants in their tracks.
A couple of years of training and
you will know how to use the nearest article as a weapon, stand your ground and
take on 5-6 attackers ( even armed with cricket bats) provided they do not have
guns. You need to hold your ground till help arrives.
