Says Paoli “Doctors are the noblest profession amongst all professions, but immoral & unethical practices should be brought to the fore. Doctors must follow medical protocol for treating patients. Medical practitioners’ community need to fix ethics and accountability. They should have the authority to take disciplinary action against delinquent physicians. And since India does not have the healthcare facilities like the west, the poor are the most affected. India should have its own medical malpractice reforms bills. So when Vikram Bhatt offered me the film based on the Ankur Arora murder case, I just had to do it”
But according to her, it is not only “average” people that are hurt and affected by medical malpractice, but involves all strata of society and even celebrities. So imagine high profile celebrity cases like Michael Jackson, whose doctor was imprisoned for medical negligence, so the chances of the poor are even less. I greatly admire Aamir Khan for bringing the issue to the fore in Satyamev Jayate”
