i do teemaardaarii for the pleasure of Allah and for the comfort of the sick fellow human being. nothing less and nothing more. the desire to do teemaardaarii is a God given gift...not all the humans have that naturally...most do it in order to fulfill a responsibility.
I have a bit of a dumb question. If one works in the medical field (i.e. doctor, physician's assistant (PA), etc.) and visits the ill, is one considered a timardaar?

If not as a part of professional duty, but moral obligation.. then yes.

lolz...i volunteer at a local hospital on a regular basis [once a week for an hour] where i visit sick N dying patients and talk to them in English because they are all goras. no Desis.
That’s not necessarily true. It depends on the individual patient. If the patient is in a delicate condition and has had visitors restricted, that may be the case. Otherwise, unknown people visiting the patient do not impact the patient’s health. After all, most medical staff are unknown.
As far as volunteering, hospital volunteers briefly visit patients and ask if there is anything the patient needs/wants, and if so, gets it for them and things of that nature.

since the visit by doctors/nurses on 'rounds' is part of their duty for which they are paid so it won't count as 'teemaardaari'. if they do visit on their own time and for the benefit of the patients then yes it will count as one.

I think medical staff fall under expected visitors category.
Why Volunteering is not popular in our part of world? May be people here have different psyche. Contact by a stranger and asking for your needs may hit someone's ego. But again when your own people leave you alone (which is also getting place in our society), then people do want company. Be it strangers.

A couple of possible reasons:
-- In developing countries, people are not really encouraged to work for free nor are they keen on it and volunteering, is, in essence, working for free.
-- Volunteering does not really open doors for you and thus, people are less inclined to do it. In contrast, here, it can. You can make contacts and said contacts may be able to help you later on when looking for a job. It also looks great on a resume.
kahain gain…
How do you volunteer then?
