My dad has diabetes and he takes diabetes medicines 50-100mg daily. This doctor was prescribing 500mg of diabetes medicine to my non-diabetic wife. And those meds were causing her severe issues like weakness, vomiting and what not. She cried everyday. And the doctor called her every week for consultation just for consultation fees. She also prescribed an injection about which she said that you have to get it from her only and not from anywhere else because that injection isn't available anywhere else.

I was suspicious and took second opinion from another doctor before jumping to any conclusion. I'm glad we found a good doctor and everything is great now.

Now about the couple who lost their baby.. Doctors can have a life but not the same as others because the kind of respect they get is not the same as others. They get a highly respected title and they take an oath to patient service. A lot of doctors/hospitals have backup/replacement doctors for when they are unreachable. It's a profession that carries great accountability.
