What the doctor has said is so true. My daughter is also a doctor who got a seat in govt college after securing a very high rank didn’t know if I had to be happy or sad. Since she wanted to join the govt hospital due to the vast patient coverage but the poor sanitary conditions with no proper rooms to rest nor bathrooms. No proper security with dogs roaming in the campuses. I felt such remorse that our govt is so negligent of such things. They are ready to collect taxes but don’t know how to spend them properly. We Indians don’t bother about cleanliness of our bodies or our surroundings no wonder our minds are not clean either. Our superiors are least bothered to look into such things. I think it is due to our people not being United and meek lacking courage. When the meek and weak come together to form a powerful lot then only the strong will break
Each and every line in this article speaks the truth. My guide used to call me at his house for completion of my thesis. He never touched me or behaved inappropriately, but I still felt unsafe every time he used to call me to his home. The anxiety was too much to handle that I had to take psychiatrist help. “This time I’m safe… what if he molests me in the next visit” was a question on my mind every time. It was harrowing 2 years of my life!! I couldn’t say NO out of fear!
I don’t even need to emphasize the issue. I agree so much. After myself facing some very personal questions in my exit exams which being male resident also I found out of context and I thought that I couldn’t protest because it was my exit exams. The regular scrutiny and judgement make the medical residentship extremely full of fatigue. It increases with specialization levels more severe in DM and M.Ch so much that many people don’t opt and seats remain vacant.
