Human

 Have you heard about Bhopal Union Carbide tragedy? Have you also heard about drug trials on humans and its consequences? Then you already know the story of OTT Hindi series "Human". 

Add a few doses of super selfish villain with childhood trauma and some LGBTQ drama. That's it.

Some deviations in this serial are both the super super selfish villain and LGBTQ person are both women and excellent doctors. And they manipulate the entire world with their professionalism and wily nature. 

Dr. Gauri Nath is the head of a large hospital Manthan in Bhopal and her motto and inspiration was to help the victims of Union Carbide tragedy. As she was a victim herself - having lost her entire family and then being adapted by kind hearted doctor Nath. 

And Dr. Saira Sabharwala is a very talented cardiac surgeon newly retired to her hometown.

Dr. GauriNath has a need and means to know everything about everyone. How else can a person run such a large successful hospital and in the process of starting a new neurology hospital as well.

So does she know about the human trails of a drug being conducted in a camp by her hospital? Does she know about the death of one of the volunteers under trial Tukaram due to complications? Or are these conducted by unscrupulous, greedy doctor Vivek to pay for his family's extravagant lifestyles?

Why doesn't Dr. Saira tells her parents that they are planing on having a child but tells her war photographer husband that she does not want children, period. The husband who is in Afghanistan - war photography can't be captured in a peaceful (!) nation, right?

How does Gauri manipulate both the state minister Chandrakanth and chief minister Nathulal? 

The story is very realistic. It can certainly happen in our country where many poor people are illiterate and will become human guinea pigs in such trials. Do they know the side effects and knowingly sign the consent forms? But they can't read and write. And they can't be expected to understand all medical terms. So may be, may be doctors will fill the forms for them and just get their ungutha. 

And as usual, my grouse is against the ending. Which shows that the guilty doctor and hospital are being punished. Does it really happen? When they can hire an entire army of lawyers and buy the judgement?
