my note as a MBBS doctor - change the system EDIT - Page 5

@Totally agree the current medical bodies have become a joke more so after their reaction to SJ's episode and asking AK for an apology.

But then it doesnt take away the fact that we need a stricter body which can be an efficient watchdog and bring the culprits of malpractices to justice. We need reforms and an independent body free of any influences with a fairly trasparent selection procedure. Though many high profile honest doctors are part of both IMA and IMC like Dr Shetty but still corruption and other negligence is rampant. I feel we need reforms on the consititution of such bodies to send a strong message.

Shessh great whats with our country and strikes , I thought our constitution states that doctors be barred from conducting strikes as it affects the healthcare services.

Agree we dont need more paper work or another bureaucratic body but we need an overhaul of the governing body of medical practices in India be it IMA or IMC. Especially if they have the power to suspend a doctor from practicing if he is found guilty.All I want to see is these bodies being run by honest and dedicated doctors who can monitor and actually do the job properly.Right now no doctor is scared of them and carry out their malpractices without any fear coz of corruption at these bodies, this is y i want to see constitutional changes initiated by govt in these bodies.

i am an indian doctor.

my journey so far:-

i spent over 10 lac rupees for my education just to get thru with my mbbs degree. WHY?

because of reservation i had to take up seat in a private medical college. my parents took loans and payed my fee.

so why dont i study more and do postgraduation to increase qualification?


if i go for MD-- i will spend atleast 1 more year preparing for my enterance.. and there too due to a lack of seats.. it willl be difficult...

while I am fully sympathetic to this idiocy of reservation for the vote bank and I wish one day I will see this abolished in our country (I know if hundreds of deaths could not abolish it.. I am only day dreaming.. nothing is more important to our corrput leaders than vote bank)!!

Can I blame my favorite whipping post for the strikes - please? I believe Gandhi is responsible for all these strikes. In no other part of the world would you hear of bandhs and strikes as in India.

It was Gandhi who first taught India the power of strikes and hartals and look what's happening today - every second person is on a stop work hartal.

You stop a man from from peeing on the road, next thing - hartal.

You stop someone from driving on the wrong side, that's it - strike.

You stopped a student from cheating in the exams, good watch now - bandh.

However.. not getting through a government medical college - you can not blame it to reservation only!! You have to just admit that you were not good enough or simply did not try hard enough!! There are lakhs of general candidate students get admission every year and it is not that difficult to mug up Biology!!

my score was high enough to get me in if less seats were reserved. that is what i am implying.

i also did consistently well in med school

please go onto www.muhsnashik.com and check the UG final year rank list for the year 2011.

my name is in the top 10 in the state.

my point is that inspite of doing so well in my 10th 12th and medical college.. i am still finding it hard to cope up with the pressure and the limited number of seats.

🤢
