Doctors Are Human too.

Have you ever been treated by a doctor who appears ill or has a physical impediment ? And did it make you feel less confident about his or her ability to help you get better? A lady l know who visited a Govt operated clinic told me that when she got there she saw a doctor on crutches. She wasn't sure what was his problem but she said her first thought was " l hope he isn't the one l get to see". Some people think of doctors as healthy human beings who are not supposed to get ill. The simple fact is that doctors are flesh and blood like any of us. During the covid pandemic people got more scared when they heard of doctors dying from the virus. Yes they wore the best protective gear while treating the sick, but most of them had families to go home to - they could have contracted the virus anywhere. The message here is that there is no super human . Regardless of status in life - rich poor, celebrity, non celebrity - we are all human and we all must die at some point. In the meantime we try our best to take care of ourselves and remain in reasonably good health. What are your thoughts? Pixabay image.
