Letters to the editor dated May 25, 2021 | Updated on Unfair, unwarranted At a time when India has lost 1,100 doctors fighting a battle against Covid-19, without adequate personal protective equipment, should a yoga guru deride allopathy and its practitioners as useless and prescriptions of death? Even though the country has a qualified medical doctor heading the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, it has served as little deterrence for Baba Ramdev to make such accusations. The Indian Medical Association has lodged a strong protest, but it is unlikely to have any effect on Baba Ramdev, who appears to have all the right political and bureaucratic connections. It is indeed galling for medical professionals, who are losing their colleagues daily as they soldier on in the fight against this virus. With an abysmally-low doctor-patient ratio, doctors (and other healthcare staff) are not even getting a quarantine break. Yet, they have to face such accusations. Should the medical profession, battling an unseen enemy, endure such indignities?
