Doctors in the drama versus real life doctors....?

I was watching a local drama. By local, I mean drama made in this country which I reside in.

Scene 1: The doctor is in a clinic, discussing about hypertension and diabetes to the patients. Then come another patient with asthma... I assume it is asthma because the patient told the doctor that she is having shortness of breath... and because the doctor told the patient that it's asthma... well a real life doctor would inquire about wheezing, duration, intensity and so on... before coming into a diagnosis of asthma. Funny. And the doctor gave the patient prescription for her illness...  so I assume that the doctor is an internist... or anybody specializing with medicine, internal medicine.

Scene 2: The same doctor received a call from his wife. He told her wife that he could not join her for dinner... because he would have to perform a surgery... yes surgery.

It's not a surprise that the laymen sees a doctor as super-human... because of the lies shown by the local drama. An Internist/Surgeon... a rare type of doctor, but not so rare in the telly. Drama doctors are cure-it-all specialist... a branch of medicine which is beyond reality yet very common in local dramas.

Scene 3: The same doctor rushed into a labour room. Apparently, his wife is in labour. He then donned a surgical mask and help the midwives. No cardiotocogram (CTG) machine seen, which is funny since it is a vital apparatus in the labour room... well at least in this region. Even if the baby is crowning, there's no way that the CTG machine would be removed from the suite. And he is not wearing any apron... funny.

If I were the doctor, I would wear an apron first... maybe two layers of apron, after an incident which I have to walk back home in a scrub because my trousers were wet from the gushing amniotic fluid. Surgical mask is not necessary considering that the mother to be is my own wife. So apron first then mask. Mask is important too because we may not know what the patient have; TB, flu etc.

I guess the doctors in the drama are superhuman since they can monitor the fetal heart rate without the CTG machine. Yes, we do use Pinard's stethoscope but to monitor one, you'll have to listen to it for the whole night... or day... and using a Pinard's stethoscope is not easy.

Now the big question, is the doctor an internist or surgeon or OB/GYN specialist?

Hate crime...

Hate crime is wrong at all level.

Example, the hate crime towards the Muslims in the America, could affect the non-Muslim in a Muslim majority country.

Those hate crimes could be an excuse to retaliate back, by committing hate crimes towards the local Christians, because the Western world is often associated with Christianity, however absurd it is like how the Western world would associate Arabs and Islam.

Crowd mentality is hard to curb with social medias nowadays. One silly, absurd post on Facebook or Twitter could provoke anger... which then leads to irrational actions, such as mobs and of course hate crime.

People would be paranoid, felt threatened. The Muslim in the other part of the world would feel threatened by those Islamophobic actions, and if one clown provoke their anger, God knows what would happened.

So, in lieu of the coming Christmas and Prophet's Birthday, let's make the world a peaceful one...
