Two professions

In any profession there is a clearly defined customer-vendor relationship. The customer pays and the vendor is supposed to try their best in satisfying the customer with their product or service.

Have you ever heard of a vendor who accepts the customers’ money, behaves badly with the customer and yet the customer has to feel obliged that he has been given a service?

Well there are indeed two professions followers of which believe that they are exempt from this accepted social decorum.

Doctors and teachers.

Many doctor suffers from a repugnant superiority complex and more often than not talks to you in a condescending tone.

“I don’t have much time…pay attention.”, “Don’t use your brains…I’m the doctor here”, “You better listen to me...you don’t know much.”

I also suspect that they get some sadistic pleasure when strike the good food off the diet charts.

And some teachers are even worse. They not only make the students feel bad but they also feel it is their right to insult the parents.

Every time a teacher asks a parent, “Your ward is faring very poorly…why?” the parent should immediately answer “I’m paying you to take care of that and I should be the one asking “why” ”

The logic by which doctors and teachers justify their rudeness is that they “SAVE” lives.

So non-doctor and non-teacher people are basically ruining lives???

I believe that any person putting in an honest amount of effort to earn his/her money deserves respect. Why do we have to classify professions in a hierarchical manner?

Now tell me how would a doctor/teacher feel if a team of vengeful software engineers decide to set the amount in their bank account to zero?

Yes I agree that there are well mannered doctors and teachers and in past I have used their help and advice and in future too I would need that. This post is against the ones who show a certain amount of high handedness which I find intolerable. I’m just tired of the way our stratified society behaves and expects people to behave like a lesser mortal every time they visit a doctor/teacher.
