"Surprisingly, no doctors' body has spoken against Aamir yet. We need to stand united against such blatant lies. We are going to write a scathing letter demanding an apology from him," Dube said.u00a0Medscape pointed out that doctors were subjected to assault without any fault and many people didn't understand the pressures of the profession.
