    Shehzad Roy wants to hold unethical doctors accountable in Pakistan

    The internet’s favourite celebrity, Shehzad Roy, wants that doctors in Pakistan are no longer allowed to get away with medical malpractice or unprofessional behavior.

    In a viral tweet, the singer and philanthropist has encouraged social media users to come forward with their own experiences.

    The singer and philanthropist had wrote: “We need to hold doctors accountable for how they speak to their patients. Ive heard so many stories about how even renowned doctors humiliate their patients. Docs, please remember that a kind word sometimes goes much further than any pill u can prescribe”

    His viral tweet got many other users to share their experience of interacting with unprofessional doctors. One user wrote:

    “2 weeks ago a doc gave my children 1 min each after a wait of almost 2 hours (confirmed appointment). She didn’t check their throat or ear or chest, even though they were complaining of inflammation. My turn she was looking at the wrong file. Some doctors just don’t care.”

    Twitter already prohibited the publication of private information such as a person’s phone number or address, but there are “growing concerns” about the use of content to “harass, intimidate and reveal the identities of individuals,” said the company.

    Twitter also noted a “disproportionate effect on women, activists, dissidents, and members of minority communities.”
