The New Games DOCTORS Play

By Regine Dubono

"New Games Doctors Play" are essays analyzing how the zeal for diagnosis is interfering with the mission to heal patients in hospitals. The doctors are co-dependants in this game they willingly play because it takes away the pressure of finding a treatment and also takes away some of the responsibility. This practice however is contrary to the medical student's pledge: First do no harm." The account that follows these essays, "Fever" documents how harmful diagnosis can be to a frail patient who above all needs rest to recuperate.
