The role of doctors in our societies is changing. Once seen as defenders of society - especially the weaker people in society - today many doctors see themselves and business people. But what does the logic of what makes a healthy business practice have to do with what makes a healthy human being?  Dr. Vikas Bajpai has been both a medical doctor and an advocate for social justice for most of his life.
