Abstract:
Dr Thirunavukkarasu Arun Babu has written a very important and interesting reflection titled "Are doctors allowed to cry at work?" published online first in this journal on June 2, 2023 [1]. Reading this reflection brought back personal memories of several situations where I have struggled with my emotions while caring for patients. Having engaged with this very same question in the past, I would like to both agree with his perspective and share my thoughts on restoring the human element to the uncontrolled commercialism and dehumanisation in the field of medicine.
