The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors seems to be a bunch of hypocrites taking the Hippocrates oath! It behoves a person from a noble profession like medicine to maintain the halo surrounding him or her just because he has the ability to cure a diseased person. And it is sad to see them stooping down and resorting to the level of the average proletariat. As a professional course student, I am ashamed to see other professionals toying with the lives of thousands of patients.
I agree that every individual must get what he deserves and he or she must fight for his or her rights. But doctors going to strike is one of the last things that should happen in the Monsoons! I know what a resident doctor suffers from and what sort of facilities they are provided with but please continue with your noble work, at least for the sake of the Hippocratic oath! If doctors start going to strikes like mill workers, the state would face harsher implications than an economic downturn. It is sad to note that medical students are turning to the profession because it offers emolument and not because of any feelings of social indebtedness. Every other profession can be a money making business, except medicine. Technology provides alternatives for other fields but not for Doctors of Medicine. I say this with due respect to doctors all around the world and only because I have seen a doctor from close quarters, my father. He is a strong adversary when it comes to discussing this issue and he strongly advocates better remuneration to resident doctors and supports their strike.
On humanitarian grounds, my heart goes out to the resident doctors and I know that others too support their cause but not their means of pleading for better amenities. Holding patients to ransom is not the solution. Resorting to activities typical of retrograde socialists does not suit doctors. It shows how people are forgetting their duties and moral obligations. Undertaking strikes is either a sign of cowardice or a blatant abuse of powers which only doctors wield. No wonder people have started questioning professionals who were unimpeachable in the days of yore. I wonder who are next in line to strike work? Bloggers?

The structure which has been photographed is popularly known as the VJTI 'dome'...I hope this place doesn't spell 'doom' for me!
Does it look like a place where thousands are tortured day in day out?

It’s not the resident doctors but the government which is holding public to ransom. Let’s hope, that for people’s sake, they will find a solution or may be, they are just not bothered.
The strike never gives pleasure to any doctor. For somebody who is used to working all days it is unthinkable to sit idle. But to ‘open the ears of the government, we need to drop the bombshell of a strike’; such a paradox that this line was used by Bhagat Singh in context of the British Government. It is sad that when we started the strike we were reminded of it. But it is the truth that our conditions have not changed over the past 40 years and neither have our demands, the reason being that the Government has never adequately address our issues.
The emotional blackmail can go on and on but our frustrations have reached a zenith.
