Chitkara School of Health Sciences: Strengthening the Backbone of the Healthcare Sector
Oh God, it hurts! I need to see a doctor!” this is a statement that most of us often say and sometimes hear others say Other than the profession of teacher, even a doctor’s profession is considered one of the noblest professions in the world. But what would happen if only doctors had to do everything?
From surgery to preparing for surgery, from medication to injecting essential fluids to dressing a wound, requires attention, time, dedication and care. Remove nurses from any hospital, and it would definitely be like an empty place with a handful of doctors catering to hundreds of patients. Doesn’t it sound unfair for the nurses who are the healthcare industry’s backbone?
