Question

Ram had taken an appointment in a hospital at a particular time for a minor ailment. When he arrived on time at the hospital, he was denied immediate treatment as the doctors were busy attending to Rahul, who was in a major accident. Ram was asked to reschedule the appointment or wait.

What do you think Ram should do?

• A. He should sue the hospital.
• B. He should sue Rahul.
• C. He should wait or reschedule.
• D. He should launch a protest on violation of human rights.

Answer 1

The correct option is C He should wait or reschedule.

It is not reasonable to ask for treatment for a minor ailment when another patient might die. You have to be fair when you demand rights. A right is an entitlement or claim of a person recognised by society and sanctioned by law. The situation that Ram faced violates the rules, but humanity precedes rights, so attending to an emergency was more important than merely following rules.
