Doctors Are Not Murderers — the title is deliberately provocative. It’s a bold rebuttal to the angry slogans shouted in mobs and the toxic accusations hurled online.

When a patient dies or a rare complication occurs, someone inevitably yells, “Murderer!” These words are not just wrong — they are harmful.

Doctors take an oath: First, do no harm. Outcomes don’t always align with that ideal — biology is unpredictable, medicine is complex, and doctors are human. But the vast majority don’t come to work seeking profit or power. They show up to heal.

This book is a collection of real-life stories from ERs, ICUs, cancer wards, and rural clinics. They are not tales of saints or sinners — just people trying their best under pressure. Some stories may move you. Others may challenge you. But all aim to restore trust in a profession too often misunderstood.

More than stories, this is a reflection on the fragile doctor–patient relationship today: the mistrust, the media distortion, and the crushing demands of modern medicine. And it’s a call to action — to rebuild compassion, respect, and understanding.

Most crucially, this book is powered by the Debabrata Mitalee Auro Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing healthcare equity and upholding the highest standards of medical ethics. In a world where access to quality care is still a privilege for too many, the Foundation works to ensure that compassion, dignity, and fairness are not luxuries, but the foundation of every patient’s experience.

Every single royalty from this book will be donated to the Foundation. Your support will directly fund initiatives that bring medical services to underserved communities, support women empowerment and children empowerment regardless of their income, geography, or background.
