the news item you refer to
it has nothing to do with what doctors do in spare time
there are as many incompetent doctors as there are incompetent professionals in other professions.
in fact many hospitals are death traps
I would think a lot before agreeing to get operated for anything
have you ever wondered what goes thru minds of doctor when throughout the working hours patients keep talking about real and imaginary ailments
it is a thankless profession
there has to be an escape mechanism for them
in delhi , if you go to govt hospital OPDs , you will see hundreds lined up for consultation .
The doctors room ,often small. cramped and time shared . doctor is with two or three patients at a time one doctor is talking with ,the other stretched on bed nearby and third waiting to get a hearing .
he often has to make up witih couple of minutes , what is the patient suffering from and give his recommendation . what do you think will be the result
doctors and interns living conditions in hostels are terrible . every year some commit suicide not being able to cope . these guys and girls are some of the best brains of the country . we need to have a heart to feel for them
