wherever a doctor is
employed, there should not be misuse,
abuse and mistreatment of their position.
The rights assigned by the law should
apply in private and public sectors. In
forensic medicine, for example, the
testimony of the forensic surgeon must be
prioritized over eye witness reports.
Although, they are the providers of health
and life, doctors too are human beings
which means they can fall sick like anyone.
It starts from home where they can be
taken care of by other family member and
not left to fend or themselves just because
they are doctors and must know how to
take care of themselves. The place of
employment could take up the task of
regularly offering checkups of its doctors
and provide them with facilities such as
healthy food products to make sure they
are on a healthier track and therefore
working productively. 
This means that first and foremost they
should be secure in their workplaces
whether rural or urban; secure socially,
physically, emotionally and spiritually. If
they are safe then they will be more
efficient and comfortable in treating the
people. Secondly, their privacy should not
be invaded nor should their opinions be
misused and manipulated for personal
gains and this harms the society as a
whole by deteriorating the repuation of all
doctors; especially in religious affairs
where two views clash, doctors are
targetted for having a different mindset.
They should be safe from threats.

To privacy
To freedom of religion, belief and opinion
To freedom of expression and participation
Doctors are regularly surrounded by
people: patients, colleagues, family and
students so privacy can become an alien
concept. But, it does not mean that
doctors do not need privacy. Their privacy
should not be snatched in the sense that
when they are off-duty then it should be
respected unless there is a valid reason.
This can take the shape of knocking on
their door before entering into their room.
It can be especially rude to hunt down a
doctor on their social media accounts or
messaging them everywhere; emails or
office phone numbers should be used
wisely.
Doctors cannot be forced into the molds
created by us, they are their own person
and hence deserve to follow and believe in
whatever they like. They can also voice
their concerns in any way they think to be
best. We are no one to control such
private matters. If a doctor needs to pray
at a certain time then it should be
respected and allowed with proper
arrangements.
Doctors are highly knowledgable and
intellectual scientists and their minds are
constantly evolving. They should be
faciliated in researches and conferences.
Ample opportunities should be available
for doctors to explore their field and other
ones. Doctors can be given this freedom
by being allowed to carry out a lecture
according to their style. They should be
able to use whatever valid resource to
teach, for example. In meetings all faculty
should be given chance to share ideas
whether they are junior doctors or senior
surgeons.

To freedom of labour practice
To an environment
. To education and further knowledge
Doctors are laborers but that does not
mean they have an infinite capacity to
work. Their rights to leave for holidays for
example should not be revoked except
when exceptionally necessary. Their work
load should also be divided fairly with
respect to night shifts especially.
A safe, secure, friendly and sterile
environment where their health, social
well-being and property is not in
danger.They should be given a proper
office to sit in with the basic supplies such
as comfortable chairs and tables, heaters
and air conditioners.
Doctors are not masters of their field in
the sense that medicine is an ever growing
field. This means that passionate doctors
might be interested in exploring
developments in various fields or even
introduce their own. They should be
facilitated in this and not discouraged by
demoralizing comments. Even if they wish
to change the field of work entirely and
are sincere in doing so, that should be
encouraged as well. Lady doctors are
usually confined to their homes after
mbbs/bds but if they want to pursue fcps
then that should be allowed.

A doctor-patient relationship is built on trust
because people are exposing areas and parts
of their lives that no one knows. Patients
deserve utmost privacy because if that is
violated they will immediately hesitate to
proceed with treatment and will be reluctant
to seek further help. This privacy can be
achieved by closing the door when a patient
is with a doctor or drawing the curtains if
there is no door. Patients even have the right
to request for a lady doctor and vice versa.
Patients come from a wide variety of belief
systems and it is not possible that each will
hold correct or logical beliefs. That factor
should be taken intoo account. If a jewish

know what their situation is therefore it is
required that they feel able to express
themselves sufficiently. Patients can be given
a role in improving the healthcare system by
having a strong feedback system where
patients can write or send their feedback
through websites, emails or letters.
This is extremely important because patients are
literally and figuratively exposing themselves to
a doctor; nobody is privileged enough to be
entrusted with such a level of trust and secrecy
than a doctor. Patients' files, records and any
information they share during history taking
must be preserved. During examinations,
sufficient seclusion must be arranged where
unauthorized personnel cannot take unfair
advantage of someone's privacy. Doctors should
make sure they follow the principle of
confidentiality with all aspects of a patient's
information.
Doctors are to ensure that they provide a safe
environment for people to openly discuss
reservations regarding clashes between their
religious ways and the treatment process. If a
patient requests that a particular treatment
method be verified by a religous scholar as
lawful then these arrangments are to made by
the doctor by properly following a procedure
which satisfies the patient.

impact. Senior surgeouns should give sufficient

that could put the patient at risk of being

AIDs or any other contagious disease as this

Doctors should know what their duties are and
complete the shift which is alloted to them. Also
they should educate their patients about
controlling the spread of their contagious

making the patient aware of the correct ways to

Every patient has the responsibility of: Every student has the right to: _x000D_
_x000D_

Patients tend to think that they have the

pass to misbehave with medical
professionals but they should keep in mind
that doctors are not products in a mall that
they can pick and choose according to their
liking. It is quite possible to get a doctor who
might be different in religion, social class or
race from the patient and that is completely
normal. A common example would be when
patients compare another colleague right in
front of the doctor, this can be embarrassing
and rude for the person trying their best to
attend to the patients’ needs.
Students also deserve to be treated fairly
without bias from any staff/faculty
members. Teachers should make sure rules
of class timings must be implemented over
all and no exceptions should be made for
the “apple of the eye” students.
Furthermore, in labs and other
demonstrations each student should be able
to take a look and experience the task and
students should not hesitate to request that
they are given a fair go.

everyone is human and deserves to have
their illness removed.

This refers to how patients should also play

an active role in maintaining the freedom
and security of others. They can do this by
simply offering to look after someone's child
or belongings in their absence or suggest an
alternative for them if someone needs to go
to the bathroom for example or get
something from the pharmacy. Such
inconspicuous deeds really help encourage
others in feeling more liberated and secure
while at the hospital and it even reduces
social anxiety faced by many in public
places.
Young adults are very outspoken, they need
their voices heard, therefore students must
be given platforms where they can be free
to talk about their concerns in general,
within limits of course. Also, students should
come to college with a sense of safety from
any kind of disaster or invasion. This can be
easily applied in classrooms where students
should feel confident enough to share their
thought and also practice a style of studying
that suits them.

Patients should try to maintain the privacy
of the doctor and fellow patients. If they are
mindful of it then they will recieve the same
treatment from others. They should be
especially careful when someone is talking
with a doctor not to eavesdrop on their
conversation. This way they are protecting
the privacy of both the patient and the
doctor. Also, they should not be perverted in
their thinking while a doctor is physically
dealing with them.
Students' privacy is often violated in college
and that is alarming because this can induce
anxiety among them and decrease their
performance, like anyone they also deserve
privacy in the sense that their results and
reports are confidential matters. What they
share with teachers regarding any issue is
also confidential. Sometimes jokingly
teachers reveal certain information

results.

Every student has the responsibility of: _x000D_
_x000D_

They should instill in their minds that their

peers, lecturers, technical staff and
maintenance staff are all human beings, and
just because they have paid for their
education does not allow them to disrespect
an individual directly or indirectly. Students
should be mature enough to understand
that teacher evaluation forms are not a
mockery so it is paramount that they are
filled without judgement of qualities that
play no role in improving their educational
experience; even not filling the evaluation
form is irresponsible.

Students of this day and age are getting

more and more aware of matters that used
to be less understood or taboo such as
mental health, this knowledge entrusts them
with the duty to share it with others and
utilise it wherever necessary to help
someone in need. It can even take the shape
of advising someone to drop an unhealthy
habit or on a bigger level, performing CPR if
needed. If they know something then they
must implement that knowledge to preserve
health and life of another.

Students are prone to neglecting those

around them and that is why it is neccesaay
that they learn how to accomodate for
others and let them experience freedom as
well. They should also avoid irrelevant
arguments that could turn into physical
abuse. Attacking someone's insecurities
should be avoided and if a mistake is made
then the apology should not be delayed.
Even if the other person is behaving violently
it is a student's responsibility to report the
incident instead of fighting back. The by-
standers should not aggravate the "phadda"
rather they should dissolve it. Ragging is the
biggest example of security being breached.
While they deserve privacy, they must also
give it to those around them, teachers and
students alike. They are to avoid prying into
other people's matters and this can be
achieved by not sliding into instructors'
rooms without permission. Going through
someone else's notebooks or bagpacks is
also ill-mannered. Such invasion of privacy
must be avoided at all costs.

In joking around, we tend to offend others,

so it is neccessary to learn where to draw
the line. This is important because offending
someone can negatively influence them and
initiate a chain reaction where the offended
person attacks another student. During
ragging many times seniors make first years
perform certain actions that are immoral for
people, if a student refuses to do those then
that must be upheld with respect.

Everyone wants to be known for their

smartness so students tend to swoop in at
any moment to give the right answer. This
especially happens right when someone
finally musters up enough courage to speak
in a lecture hall full of a hundred people.
Students must be careful not to speak too
much and reduce the chances for others to
add something meaningful during lectures.
As a sidenote, it is also necessary that we as
students encourage our timid friends to
open up about their thoughts as well.
Students should keep track of their leaves
and be mindful of being absent during group
tasks as this could harm the team's efforts.

Students should not indulge in activities that

harm the delicately intellectual nature of
classroom discussions. One irrelevant joke
can destroy the tempo of the teacher and
students alike. Distracting or playing tricks
can irritate others so that must be avoided
where it could potentially reduce the
effectiveness of a lecture.

They should spread awareness about

learning resources or websites or video
lectures they find or software they used to
help other students.
