• Dr. Debraj Shome is the Chief Author of the iconic best sellers "Dear People, With Love & Care, Your Doctors", published by Bloomsbury, in August 2019 & "Doctors Are Not Murderers" by Blu One Ink in September 2025. These books are anthologies of short stories, based on real life experiences, based on the Doctor Patient relationship.
• The ‘dear people movement’ was not created as a slogan. It was born out of repeated conversations with colleagues, patients, families, and young medical students who were witnessing a silent shift. We were not losing doctors to money. We were losing them to emotional exhaustion, fear of litigation, online hostility, and a growing culture of presumption of guilt. Bright students were reconsidering medicine. Experienced clinicians were withdrawing quietly. Families of doctors were absorbing stress that rarely makes headlines.
• We realised that unless we addressed the narrative publicly and constructively, the profession would continue to erode from within.
• That is why we have written the books. These are not not defensive manifestos. They call for balance. The movement acknowledges accountability, but rejects vilification. It asks for reform without resentment. It urges society to move away from extremes of pedestal and prosecution.
• Both Dear People and Doctors Are Not Murderers are charity aligned initiatives. They are structured as part of a not for profit reform driven effort. The objective is not commercial success. The objective is awareness, dialogue, and systemic recalibration. Proceeds support educational outreach, advocacy conversations, and the continued expansion of the movement’s work.
• Reform begins with conversation. Conversation begins with courage. That is why this movement exists.
