Main Body
A person who had completed his study in medicines, and uses that study to treat injuries
and illness are said to be the medical doctor. They are qualified to diagnose and treat people
who are suffering from any diseases or who are ill. The main role of medical doctor is to
diagnose and treat all the patients with disease and maintain mental and physical health. The
duties and responsibilities of a medical doctor is to promote health education, manage a medical
department, also has the responsibility of undertaking patients consultancies and physical
examinations. The Types of services provided by the medical doctor is the emergency care, they
provide this care for health problem and for other serious conditions. The services of maternity
where a mother can give birth to their babies (Guerry and et. al., 2015) . Nursing services are
also rendered to the patients and the surgery of heart, broken bones, etc. Along with this the
special services provided are medicine services and physical therapy. The historical emergence

to the development of the treatment and prevention from ancient time to 21st century. In ancient
time, there were many many medical doctors in the form of Ayurvedic and homeopathic Vedic
which done the treatment of their patients by natural herbs and using vegetables. They were so
experienced that they can even recognise and feel the disease and illness by just touching and
seeing any patient. They even find easily the treatment of the small sickness such as cold, fever
or cough. In ancient time the treatment was done with the natural things and by the healthy
environment. In context with recent time, in the 21st century, the treatment has become easily for
the doctors as many hospitals are open at certain places and many treatment are done with the
use of technology and medicines. In today's time medicine are made up of chemicals in labs by
mixing together a number of chemical substance. Also medicines like penicillin, are the products
of organisms such as fungus. Along with this, technology has very vast effect on the medical
science, all the treatment and medical test are done with the help of advanced technology.
Technology is also used to create images of the human body for medical purposes. The medical
doctors of 21st century are using technology in their field to do medical test like ECG, MRI,
Sonography, etc.
According to Stanley A., The medical doctor is an individual who uses medicines to treat
all injuries and illness to heal the pain of the patient. In the similar the study of Barry Groves
says that doctors can be of different types such as superior or top management doctors prevents
from sickness, inferior doctors treats actual sickness, and the mediocre doctor can attends to
impending sickness. The policies and regulation made by the government in context to
Healthcare department refers to plan and actions along with the decisions undertaken to achieve
health care goals and objectives within the society (Yang and et. al., 2015) . There are some
major initiatives which are taken by the Government of India to promote Indian healthcare
department as On 23 September, 2018, Indian government had established Pradhan Mantri Jan
Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), to provide health insurance worth US$ 7,124.54 to over 100 million
families every year. Along with this the National Mental Health policy, 2014 is to promote
mental health and prevent mental illness which enable recovery from the mental illness and
ensure socio-economic inclusion of persons affected by mental illness by providing accessible
and affordable health quality. The achievement of the government in the medical field is on 23
September, 2018 Ayushman Bharat was established which is the world's largest government
funded healthcare scheme. Regulation is main and plays major role in the insurance and industry

of healthcare. The different regulatory bodies defend the population from a huge number of
health hazards or risks and provide many programmes for health and welfare of peoples. In
collaboration, these regulatory bodies and agencies saves and modulate health of people at every
level. Health care regulations are formulated and executed not only by all levels of government
such as federal, state and local but also by private organizations (Mackelprang, Salsgiver and
Salsgiver, 2016) . The regulations and standards of the department of medical doctor which is
named as Healthcare are necessary to ensure abidance and to provide safety in respect of health
to every person or individual who approach the system. The regulatory agencies of Healthcare
turn monitor practitioners and facilities, provide information about the changes of industry, and
promote safety, quality services and ensure legal compliance. The major changes taken place in
the department of Healthcare by medical doctor are the technological advancements as wearable
tracking devices and smartphones have made the thing possible to monitor different aspects of
our health. In order with this, the another major change was shifting from non-profit to for- profit
as the changes in health care policy and increasing cost, many organisations decided to move
from non-profit to for-profit. The change of Affordable Care Act, which is very scary for the
peoples. The change of Use of data has also made in the healthcare department, as the medical
doctor and other healthcare professionals are using data in order to get insight about their
patients or clients. Apart from all this the successes and downfalls of a medical doctor are that
they have the ability to help the peoples in the form of treating their patients from illness, They
also gain huge reputation and vast respect in the society, the status and power of the medical
doctor is very wide, The career of being an medical doctor also provide lots of money in the
form of salary with the satisfaction of the work and the special status in the society as they are
protecting and saving the lives of many peoples. They also have the advantage of multiple job
opportunities such as government hospitals clinics and private hospital and can also earn more
fund by organising different health camps for the peoples (Chelladurai and Kerwin, 2018) . On
the other hand, they also have very downfalls for being an medical doctor such as Long course
duration and high fees, as becoming a medical doctor is a very difficult task. The fees of their
education qualification is very high as everyone cannot be able to afford this, along with this
continue the education and study of medical science is very essential as they have to keep them
updated with the latest changes taking place in the medical field, as the medical doctor is a
student for lifetime. They have the major downfall of long working hours, as they have very

hectic schedule due to many surgery sessions and midnight emergencies, they also have the
responsibilities of the life of patients, as their lives are only in the hands of doctors. They also
have a lot of stress and burden, due to busy and hectic schedule they get very tired. There are
smoke suggestions which are to be recommended to the profession of medical doctor as they
have very busy schedule then also they should find some spare time for them to read newspaper
as they can be updated by this, because as per the modern time they get updated on the online
sites, along with this the doctor must be related to their patients and should be engaged in their
community and society. Along with this, the medical doctor must take care of the medicines they
provide for their patient by analysing that they does not do any side effect to them. At last the
major recommendation for a medical doctor is to suggest that they must have the humanity, as
they are having many lives in their hands.
