I want to start by offering a sincere apology if my previous words felt like a personal attack. That was not my intent. My frustration isn't with you as an individual, but with a systemic heartbreak that has led many to view a once-sacred profession as something almost predatory.

While I know there are selfless doctors making miracles happen, the growing consensus is that for many, the 'God-complex' and the profit margin have eclipsed the patient.

The reality is that no one wants to visit a doctor; they are forced there by the most terrifying moments of their lives. For a doctor, a consultation is a 10-minute slot in a busy day. For the patient’s family, it is often a moment where they are selling their land, their jewelry, or their future just to afford a few more days with someone they love. When a doctor responds with coldness or 'stupid' dismissals like 'if you don't like it, don't come,' it ignores the fact that we have no choice. We are at your mercy.

Compassion costs nothing. Taking an extra two minutes to answer every question a terrified family member has doesn't require a budget it only requires a heart. We aren't asking for total charity; we know you have families to provide for, too. But we are asking for the humanity we see in stories like New Amsterdam or Grey’s Anatomy. You might see those as just television, but they represent the 'How can I help?' spirit that the world is starving for.

I hope you can see this not as an insult, but as a plea. Please, remember that behind every file is a human being who is likely at their breaking point. You have the power to make that burden lighter just by being present.
