New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has demanded an apology from Aamir Khan for what they termed as sending wrong message about the medical community in his programme Satyamev Jayate.
The episode about medical wrong doing on Star TV network has angered the doctors who said Aamir Khan sent all the wrong messages and undermined the doctor-patient relationship.
"Satyamev Jayate is a good programme, but Aamir Khan in the last episode presented doctors in a totally wrong way. He should have invited the doctors against whom allegations were brought concerned or the representatives of the medical association for a balanced picture," Dr DR Rai, honorary secretary, Indian Medical Association told IBNS.
Dr Rai said he was hurt that Aamir Khan sent such a wrong message to the country. "We only want an apology from him," he said.
Dr Rai denied arguments that doctors get away scot-free in India after medical malpractices. "At least 14 doctors' licences were cancelled in recent times in Delhi alone," he claimed.
According to Aamir's last episode theme, while people trust medical practitioners, believing that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their health, this knowledge is misused to exploit this trust and medical care becomes a nightmare.
"The profession is riddled with unscrupulous doctors and hospitals out to make big bucks at the cost of patients, but there are still medical practitioners who stand up for the Hippocratic Oath, and those who want to clean up the profession," according to the summary of the show that Aamir presented last month.
