Terming medicine as a noble profession, R.S. Mudhol, Vice-Chancellor of BLDE (deemed-to-be-university), said that doctors and hospitals deviating from their noble path would lead to the destruction of the profession’s dignity.
“Doctors are expected to demonstrate good conduct, kind behaviour, and sympathy towards patients. It is because of these qualities that society respects doctors. If you deviate from your path and start malpractice, the profession loses its dignity,” he said at the graduation day of S. Nijalingappa Institute of Dental Sciences and Research held at PDA Engineering College’s auditorium on Sunday.

Mr. Mudhol held that medical professionals from India were in great demand in the United States, Europe, and West Asia because they had good professional skills.
