other people!!

sometimes it seems life is revolving around other people. everywhere i go... there's other people discussing other people. how that one did this, how that one's so 'charsi' (a common term used for someone who likes to really sweat it out at work), how because of someone, someone had to work some extra hours, extra minutes at times, how one doctors better than the other (might mention here i work as an intern at a medical college hospital) and for all other reasons except their professional skills being taken into account.. blah blah, blah...
truthfully, i am appalled most of the time... how can they just go on the whole day analysing everyone else but themselves. it seems they live out of their bodies... in the lives of others. yet at other times i get a little panicky, since i dont analyse others as much as i do myself, may be i'm the one who's stupid, being the odd one out. at one level i know i'm right somewhere, and at another level it's just another part of the game i don't understand...

ethical clearance

i was sitting in the medicine opd... there were fewer patients today... so we were kind of free. i got talking with the chief resident about 'how medical education is going down'... a fairly common topic discussed and forgotten by people at all levels of the medical hierarchy almost everyday. i asked him what he thought of one going aboroad for the post graduation... he was absolutely comfortable with the idea. he held the view that becoming a doctor was about learning to treat a disease, it doesn't matter where you gained the knowledge, or where you treated the patient. fair enough. so can we just treat the west and think ourselves as having served mankind. with the number of indian doctors migrating abroad soon they will have one doctor for every 50-60 people. wonderful... almost like 'disease would be eradicated', what to talk of a handfull of the ones we've been after for sometime now. and in india and the like there will still be doctors, much fewer in numb...

ask the best

technology is overwhelming, not just with the numer of things it can do but also with the number of 'know-how's' we do not know. and everytime i'm stuck, it's one hell of an experience... it takes up time, thought and energy, quite literally too. today i found a solution to it. probably not a very unique or new thing. just a discovery for myself. ask the best. get help. get help from the best.

dignity

often i do things considered by my friends 'foolishly idealistic' and not in keeping with the fast world where only getting there matters, no matter what way one chooses. and there are often times when i do feel like all the idealism may be isn't really necessary. but then there are times when it pays to do the 'right thing in the right way'. the circumstance that arises out of you having done it all right, where no one can dare point a finger at you, they dare not make things difficult for you, cause you have the power of the right. that is dignity. dignity is not shouting back at someone and telling them how dare they mess with you, it isn't getting a senior to deal with a colleague whoo may have misbehaved. dignity is being a person, an individual, not owing to the post one holds but to the values and methods one practices.
