a job worth doing

I often talk about a person not doing their job well and how that affects the whole system. There’s a gap created in the circuit for each person who is irresponsible and it can’t totally be bridged without some other part of the circuit being affected.
As an intern in my hospital, I don’t know what job I’m really doing, I don’t know how my being serious about my work is of any real importance… but then after I have thought all the negativism and all the ‘what am I doing here when all my more ‘ focused and smarter batchmates are up and about with the pgme preparation’

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.
