A society that loses its sense of sacredness begins to see every person and profession as merely transactional. When truth is replaced by the pursuit of happiness and consumption, trust erodes and cynicism becomes the norm. Doctors, teachers, and institutions are no longer respected but viewed with suspicion. The deeper crisis is not medical or social but philosophical: without self-understanding, people become consumers first and human beings second. True respect can return only when truth, integrity, and inner education become more important than personal gain.

Questioner: Namaskar Acharya Ji. Mera prashn bahut simple hai, but I am expecting a satisfactory answer for that because mujhe kanhi nahi mila hai.
Recently there has been an increased incidence of violence against doctors. An estimated around 75% increase was reported as per The Times of India. It takes your youth to become a doctor. It's not that easy. 12 plus years of experience, and after that you are also practicing. One of the reasons which I find is that hospitals today are acting as if they're businesses, and we as doctors are being portrayed as the selling agents. So is it one of the reasons for the violence against doctors? And if this is the case, then the same thing was happening years before also. This is not the first time. Hospitals were there, doctors were there, but why are the violence cases increasing nowadays? What's the reason for that?
And again, my point would be: it takes your youth to become a doctor, and still, if all these things are happening, why would anyone go to this stream? Especially, it's not just about earning money. I would say medicine, like, you can get better options, much more money, in other streams for the amount of hard work which you have to put in. You have to go for 72 hours of shifts, and even after that, if you are being a part of that violence, then what's the logic behind this? And why are people not understanding all these things?
