Dr Bahu is a popular Pakistani drama serial that airs on ARY Digital. The drama is written by Sanam Mehdi Zaryab, while the show is directed by ace Pakistani director Mehreen Jabbar, who has directed hits like Daam. The show is produced by Humayun Saeed and Shahzad Nasib. The drama is receiving huge criticism for using unverified or incorrect medical terminologies and information.
Recently, a young Pakistani doctor, Nauman Tariq, roasted Doctor Bahu for unverified writing in the drama. Previously, the drama had already been roasted by multiple doctors.
Dr. Nauman Tariq said, “Do whatever you want, but never end Dr Bahu. Whenever I come back from duty, I watch it and get excited and happy because it is a free source of entertainment for me. Now see what Kubra recently debated with her uncle. She said, ‘Oh uncle, you have scheduled my double duty. How can I study for Part Two?’ Please have patience, Kubra. I know you are studious, but why have you started preparing for an exam that will happen after four years? You have just started training at the hospital. You took a week long time for the Part One exam, which is only a one-day long exam, and the exam after that is called the IMM test, to which your friend said ‘MI,’ which means heart attack. After that, when a cancer patient came, you sent him for staging, in which a CT scan is done, and you, as a trainee, ordered it. As a trainee, you can’t even breathe without permission. Uncle, give her more duties so that she learns. Pakistani directors have an obsession with including doctors’ stories in scripts, but they don’t ask doctors for accurate references. I’m currently on a break — ask me for free and I will tell you. Kubra, you are getting criticism for trimmed sideburns, but forget about it and focus on writing. Please get your medical information correct in the drama.’ Watch here:
Many other Pakistani doctors are expressing their frustration and disappointment in the comments’ section and thanking Dr Nauman for making a reel on the inaccurate medical scenarios blatantly being portrayed by Pakistani drama makers. Read here:
