💛 Doctors Are Human Too

Being a doctor doesn’t mean being available 24 hours a day.

We get tired.  

We need rest.  

We have families, homes, sleep, and a life outside the hospital.

Sharing my number with a patient is an act of trust 

not an invitation to call at midnight for non-urgent issues,  

and not a permission to cross personal boundaries.

If someone has been unwell for hours, it’s unfair to wait until 12 AM to call the doctor  and then refuse to visit the hospital. 

What meaningful medical help can be given over the phone at that time?

Respect goes both ways.

Every physician deserves:

• Clear working hours  

• Resting time  

• Privacy  

• And the basic courtesy of being contacted at reasonable hours  unless it's a true emergency

Being reachable does not mean being on call for the whole world.

Let’s remember: doctors are humans, not machines.  

Respecting a doctor’s boundaries is part of respecting their care.
