This part, I absolutely agree with. See, every profession deserves respect (there are few exceptions in my head and I don't want to hurt any sentiments). Also, it depends on the person who is doing the job not the job itself. The same doctors who are only supposed to save lives, take lives too. We know some doctors prescribe unnecessary surgeries and treatments to make more money for the hospitals they work for. My family recently had to face serious problems because of doctor's negligence. So anyone who does their job with utmost dedication and are duty bound deserves respect. I honestly don't believe doctors should get any special respect.
If we take India's pandemic situation, if not for ASHA workers and mid health practitioners (and not doctors) the situation would have been unimaginable, not saying it was or is better. But ASHA workers are the least paid and most harassed and exploited in the entire health sector but at the front line risking everything when a pandemics like covid emerge. And why would they deserve any less respect than doctors?
