Every Doctor in the country should listen to this conversation between a doctor at AIIMS Jodhpur in front of Director and HODs where an Anaesthesia doctor lost his life due to Suicide.
SHAMEFUL.
Dr Simmi, an OBGY resident at MGM Medical College, Indore, is reportedly in ICU after a suicide attempt.
After a complaint against 36-hour duties, she was allegedly targeted by seniors: “We worked 36 hours, now we will not spare you.”
She reportedly faced repeated humiliation, harassment and isolation. Even after complaining to HOD Dr Nilesh Dalal, no effective action allegedly followed; seniors reportedly signed a letter refusing to work with her.
How toxic must a department become before authorities ACT?
Independent inquiry. Protect Dr Simmi. Preserve all records. Hold everyone found responsible accountable.
“Hierarchy” can NEVER be an excuse for harassment.
A piece of honest advice for every budding or young doctor who plans to stay and work in India - the entire country will collectively try to guilt trip you for earning money and leading a decent lifestyle after two decades of grinding in out. It is very important that you do not fall for it.
Being good and ethical at what you do is non-negotiable and you may use your discretion to help the needy or those who aren't as fortunate, but do not be ashamed to earn a good living, to provide your family with every upgrade possible in life.
You have dedicated your teens, 20s and even your 30s to get yourself educated and subsequently (somewhat) established, you deserve every luxury that may come your way.
Why is healthcare the ONLY sector where everyone expects premium service at bargain prices—and then blames the doctor or hospital?
And somehow, the biggest “crime” in healthcare today seems to be that doctors are earning money or hospitals are making profits. Earning in healthcare has almost become a stigma.
If healthcare is unaffordable, ask the bigger question: Why isn’t the government spending enough to make public healthcare the obvious choice?
Why are government hospitals overcrowded, understaffed and poorly equipped?
Instead of obsessing only over private-hospital margins, ask:
Why should a patient NEED a private hospital in the first place?
Build world-class government hospitals. Fund them. Equip them. Staff them.
Make public healthcare so good that nobody feels compelled to go private.
Fix the infrastructure first. Debate the markups next.
Please raise questions on political corruption as well,
raise questions on what happens when one changes political parties,
and also raise questions on how MLAs/MPs, despite being public representatives, still use so many perks and how political parties take fundings from Pharma companies in crores but always tell people that doctors are villain.
Why inspite of so many hospitals in India people prefer to take doctor consulations in UK but common man has to take treatment from a poor hospital.
Please Do raise the question.
₹34,000/month for an MCh CTVS surgeon. Let that sink in.
MBBS → MS General Surgery → MCh Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery.
Nearly a decade+ of brutal medical training to become a SUPER-SPECIALIST SURGEON who operates on hearts and major blood vessels.
And the Himachal Pradesh Government offers him ₹34,000/month on a stop-gap arrangement?
We scream about shortage of specialists, but when we finally have them, this is how we value them.
This isn’t just underpayment.
This is an insult to medical education, skill and sacrifice.
A country that cannot respect its super-specialists shouldn’t complain when its best doctors leave.
₹34,000 for an MCh CTVS surgeon. Shameful.
