The above proverb is so special that nobody can explain empirically the quantitative exposure of the risk when you are visiting a clinic or hospital for medical treatment.
Being a doctor is a bless. Being a patient is so sad. But how can you be sad of being a doctor who never meet your beloved patients who need to see you. Well, enough is enough when you have nurses and paramadics so to speak.
Small injury can be treated by not seeing anyone. But deep in the heart, people will resent to become doctors when their patients are so invisible or virtual to such an extent the doctors have got to become hackers for the rest of their live to trace their patient(s) who never understand what is so special of being a doctor. To heal or to make generalisation that their income is based on how many patients they can treat per day and whether their patients are hurt in the heart (luka di hati) or otherwise.
Reciprocal as it seems to be the treatment that even doctors are in need of medical and spiritual assistance. They don't need anyone else to add to their burdens of treating patients. Are they super-humans? When money counts, not even a RM1.00 receipt can quench their thirst to say thank you to their patient(s) who are truly hurt in the heart.
Therefore, "luka di jari dapat dilihat, luka di hati tiada siapa yang tahu" is another thesis statement that will never be finished when some students in Medic are just thinking about money and how they are able to make money in their profession. Doctors are not supposed to think about money all the time, are they? Or perhaps one day money cannot buy thesis statements for them to become general practitioners.
Again, luka di hati tiada siapa yang tahu.
