Professionaly we are killers!!

30 yr old female PLHA who is on treatment(STV+LMV+NVP) last 6 months in a ART centre came with complaints of breathlessness for the past 1 week came to ART centre referred to medicine department to rule out PCP(pneumonia) or lactic acidosis by a ART medical officer with notes in follow-up notebook. Notes contain RS-no crepts, no wheeze. The case was received by a post graduate student in the medicine department when he knows she is HIV positive she was sent back to home with the prescription of non-sense.
Prescription is
C.Doxycycline 100mg 1bd
T.Antacid 2 tds
T.Paracetamol 1 tds.
Yes I met the assistant professor, he asked me to admit the patient. But with the good counseling (“She is HIV patient she will die 200%”)by that post graduate, patient and attenders are absent in that place when I am back. EUTHANASIA without pain to the doctor.
YES, I MURDERED BY MY PROFESSION. We didn’t get back the patient.
STV&female-prone for lactic acidosis
Breathlessness- always rule out PCP in HIV clients.
Simply no use in getting any highly qualified degree without having professional ethics.
