Every Medical student on successful examination turns into a junior doctor who starts imagining in the beginning that he/she is on the top of the world for few days. Sooner if not later, realizes that human suffering is much deeper than one’s imagination. As a teacher, when I listen to my students that they were excited to take up the new challenges.

I wish them that success or failure in saving a patient in a teaching hospital or for that matter in any institution depends on the decisions of the inexperienced junior doctors, as we are aware that role of the senior consultants is limited to busy working hours. Several serious complications and critical complications can arise anytime, it is certain their survival depends on how you manage the issues in the golden hour, do realize you are a hero in the hour…
