In this episode of "Call the Midwife," at the end of season five, the Thalidomide scandal comes to light in the early 1960's.
The doctor and all the others are genuinely horrified when they learn that his prescribing this drug to "dozens, perhaps scores" of patients may be to blame for the terrible birth defects that they have been seeing in newborn infants.
It is my hope, that doctors and health care professionals of today will see this portrayal of heartfelt remorse, and possibly draw comparisons to their own actions of the last two years, and the ramifications yet to come.
This may be a work of fiction, but in tragic detail it seems to accurately depict the inescapable feelings, and fears, of those of us that know the true scope of what has happened.
When the time comes for doctors of today to inevitably face their own conscience, they may be facing the biggest punishment of all.
