Re: Doc-less hospital turns away hundreds - 26-06-2006, 04:52 PM

This again comes down to who is at fault.But like everything else ,its the system that is at fault.Its funny to say why are interns not there in a district hospital because u are not supposed to take care of pts fully during internship,u are supposed to treat under guidance,i guess its obvious what sort of a guidance that we will get there.
Say I tomorrow say send me to ILAM i will go,do you think i can go?First there is the matter of number of "quotas" for the district.If its just one then its filled with that other doc.It takes more than 3 months for our gov.to recruit in the first place that is if they think it is necessary to do so.
Say I say,I want to go and open a nursing home there.There is one there already,it has been closed so many times that the doctor who opened it is in ktm more than in ILAM.If anything happens to any patient what ever the reason,the end result is....beating of the doc. and padlock to the clinic.How can a sane person work in such a condition.Constant irritation/trouble with maoists is too much well known to be discussed again i guess.
Its interesting that one of my uncles was a doc there 9 years ago and was doing fabulous job,he was transferred from that place to some other village because PM was visiting that place,how foolish is that.And he said,do hell with it all,i am over with all this!!
The moral of the story is frns its easy to say from far away.I was so patriotic during my college days that i was given the title "The Patriot" in my medical school.I used to plan which village i am going to work in,once i pass out.But once you pass out,work with our gov.functionaries u realise its a mess,earlier u comeout of it,more chances u have of retaining your sanity.Untill and unless health becomes a priority of our Gov.,untill and unless sane ppl rule our country its impossible to work.At least i couldn't.
