All I am asking for is a little empathy (this is for the non-medicos as the medicos would know all this already) I write this post deeply pained, being a post graduate aspirant struggling to get into surgery, when I hear news about a Surgical resident, being beaten up till his kidney failed, I have to wonder why am I struggling, why am I doing all this? What is the use? When my techie friends are settling down in life I wonder why should I sit in front of textbooks trying to store the ocean of knowledge.
I thought I was doing it to be able to save lives, but hey so was the doctor who was beaten up till his Kidney failed for doing his job. I am not ranting, but being in the system, you realize how hard it is to be a doctor in India. From the countless exams to vast amount of knowledge you should have at your fingertips, to the expense of getting a medical education, all these are more…
