<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->LAST Saturday's report by Mr Andy Ho ('Flu: Docs need not swallow bitter pill') makes me feel that doctors are nothing but cowards. They have no compassion, moral obligations and certainly no passion in their profession.
Mr Ho indicates that doctors are not obliged to treat patients during a flu pandemic because 'under common law, no one is legally obliged to rescue another from danger'.
Fortunately, this is not the case. People choose to be doctors because it is their calling. They are passionate in wanting to heal the sick. There is a Chinese saying that goes, 'to heal the sick, one has the heart of a parent', so they are definitely compassionate and high in moral obligations.
The law spells out a lot of things, but moral obligation overrides the law.
Take this example. In a major road accident, the first to stop and help the injured before an ambulance arrives would be other motorcyclists. Parking their vehicles along a highway or expressway is breaking the law, but it is still done. Why? Because it is a humane act, a moral obligation...not because the law says so.

Ronald Lee is a fool. "Moral obligation" is an illusion made up by weak human minds like Ronald's. There is no such thing as "morality", there is only ethics (do unto others as you would like others to do unto you; the more evolved the soul, the higher the degree of ethics) and cosmoethics (degrees of cosmoethicality - highest degee being the path of action(s) or decision(s) which results in the greatest good/benefit/service for all beings involved, for the entire universe). There is no such thing as "obligation", there is only karma (action and consequences), which works with the soul across lifetimes.

If Ronald Lee offered the doctor $10k to treat the flu, he will find out how uncowardly the doctor is.
