Where patients should call the shots Let me put this disclaimer first: doctors out there reading this post, please understand that the idea that I am about to explore is not some kind of patient revolt or Bolshevik-style insurrection on our health system. Let me also admit that at the ground level, you all are doing an excellent service treating patients in general and ophthalmic patients in particular. But I'm sure most of you would agree that the R&D system concerning health in this country is such a non-starter that there needs to be something done about it. We don't expect a medical boycott or a doctors' strike on lack of R&D opportunity in India, because most of you find research work elsewhere in the globe. It only leaves the patients to handle the situation for ourselves.
