We are starting a new day with hopes and excitement. There are things to be done, people to be seen, responsibilities to be taken, lives to be touched, lives to be embraced rather than held by the end. Then we see that a doctor has become a victim of violence again.
I even read a news report and learn that the doctor who was subjected to violence continues his duty and postpones getting help until after his surgery. In our society, where we witness all kinds of violence, there was violence against physicians in the past, it is present today, and one cannot help but think about what the future will be like. Moreover, this situation seems to be getting worse as the years go by. Violence against doctors has become fashionable. Is it a victory to be won, a revenge to be taken, or is it an intense loss of belief in righteousness, sensitivity, and respect that gives rise to this violence?
However, the doctor wants to do his job. While doing this, he acts not like a machine, but by adding his humanity, emotions and conscience to what he knows, no matter how professional he is. In short, being a doctor is a guilty conscience. Hours pass from the evening to the morning of a vital surgery that lasts fifteen hours... He shares the anxiety of the patient's relatives after the treatment applied to calm a patient suffering from a psychotic exacerbation. She gives birth, witnesses a miracle, and reunites the parents, who have been waiting for their baby for months, laboring, and suffering, with their baby. It is the hospital smell that many people are used to, and the owner of this smell, which is bad for most people, is in the doctor's house, day and night, he does not complain.
When he recommends the appropriate treatment, his struggle may be insufficient when he encounters the sentences "I think this method is not right, I did not read that on the internet...". We have had many patients refuse drug treatment, claiming that antidepressants are addictive and damage the liver and kidneys. We responded to these without getting tired, we were able to convince some patients, some were not. While being able to consult a psychiatrist with the fear of being judged and labeled, and sharing that you are getting help for mental health has only recently become a current issue and has become at least partially easier for our society, the rejection of our treatment suggestions upsets us and makes it difficult for us to do our job. Stigma itself is an example of violence, and people become victims of violence before they even reach a doctor. Woman victim of violence u, doctor is a victim of violence, human being is a victim of violence, nature is a victim of violence, why…?
Anger is a natural emotion, like other emotions. Not every time we get angry results in violence. In situations where violence occurs, a punitive aspect prevails... This punitive aspect is planted in us like a seed when we are still young. If you cannot notice this side as it branches and branches over the years, this side works both for yourself and for your environment. When a mistake is made, he does not forgive it, criticizes it mercilessly, belittles and devalues it, and exhibits a derogatory attitude. Moreover, he thinks that he is right in this attitude. So to speak, it kills people. When you look at society, you will see an intense punitive environment. You can watch this in movies and TV series, you can notice it while reading the news of a doctor who was beaten by his patient, or you can understand it when a woman who was raped is thinking about what she was doing outside "at that hour, wearing such and such clothes". In other words, the punishing side is within us, every second…
All kinds of violence are not normal and there is no justifiable explanation. There are so many victims of violence in our society that it may seem normal. Today a doctor is exposed to violence, tomorrow you may be exposed to violence anywhere, while waiting in line, while eating, on the bus. Let's raise our voice then, let's not ignore what is happening. For example, let's love more, forgive more, be understanding, and learn patience, as impatience is perhaps one of the most important problems we have encountered in recent years. Lives without self-control are doomed to failure, let's be patient. Best regards…
