If we read articles and perception in society we find that Medical profession is very difficult, first to get into it and then pursue it for 10-15 yrs and then to establish in it so many doctors even don't prefers their siblings to be a doctor but still it is best profession, brings a lot of respect, self-satisfaction beside money and fame and our youths must be motivated to adopt this profession, some hard facts of medical profession is described below we should realise to be a doctor is a very difficult now as first we should have facilities at home to have a good education free of any work load due to financial burden in family mostly seen in poor economically weaker section and lower middle class and even middle class as education is very costly,faith in govt run schools due to mismanagement has shaken and Pvt schools from nursery kg primary to secondary fee is very high including transport and other fees charged by these schools, secondly after getting good marks one has to have coaching classes from many coaching centres to crack NEET or other PMT examinations, these coaching centres have so much advertised in media that every body is lured to get admitted there as if without them to get in MBBS is almost rare and they charge excessively to an extent which a poor family cant pay, after this, PVT medical colleges have come as mushroom growths where all their PMT tests are rigged off and admission provided in capitation fee of 1 crore and even after NEET examination capitation fee and other fee in Tamilnadu is 2 crores as decided by deemed university to which these colleges are affiliated as these are their universities and are existing in India to sell degrees only by taking money with ghost faculties and huge bribe to HDR ministry officials,university grant commission other regulating authorities of state or centre patronised by big politicians sheltered by rich law makers, industrialists,businessmen,bureaucrats,media moguls or judges so nothing can happen to them even after NEET poor middle class students will not get admitted there due to high fee and colleges will sell these seats keeping them vacant in 2nd or 3 rd round counselling. Medical Council of India is a den of corruption run by selected doctors having political connections and most officer bearers as decent of corruption king recognise such Pvt medical colleges or increase their pg seats by taking huge bribe in crores neglecting poor infrastructure accepting all arranged fake patients and a team of Ghost teachers on day of inspection, even computer has been manipulated to send a set of Assessors as their henchmen to recognise such colleges. Similiary Dental council of India, Homeopathic and Ayurvedic or even Nursing council is dented pay money and get recognition without money no affiliation to university, no state clearance no central clearance. So to be a doctor is very difficult in spite of such hurdles many thousands gets admitted in colleges and read hard to be a doctor but who cares for MBBS doctor either village posting with no facilities at hospitals or phc or sub-centres what to talk of doctor staying there with family for living imparting education to their children where doctors are always questioned and beaten for lack of services,only door is either working as junior in private hospitals in towns and cities or prepare for PG examination or a pvt industry /company/government or military service where pg will not be allowed for few years or mush time went for preparation of pg which is very difficult to crack as pg seats are openly sold by Pvt medical colleges having more seats for 2-4 crores and even after getting pg one doctor has to be a senior resident with a meagre pay in 5 digits only for 3 years before they can start their own clinic or nursing home but in town and cities big industrialists, business men has opened big hospitals where service is provided with luxuries and against medical ethics they advertise badly in news paper,tv,radio so attract more patients and secondly cleared by Insurance companies which are invading Indian market as USA or UK to make every person to have insurance otherwise treatment will not be done,a mass capitalistic view of globalisation where big corporates want or grab health sectors in their hand completely so option to newly passed doctor to start own work is jolted and he/she bound to join these corporate hospital as junior or join government services but here they are treated at par with AYUSH or Homeopathic Doctors as per Government policies and even they have to face quacks, touts and many pathies like rekki, magnet electric acupressure yoga etc as every body can practice medicine in India without any license, Govt agencies hardly catch them or even caught due to sluggish judicial process hardly get punished survival so they are economically always disheartened and unsatisfied after giving 10-14 yrs of so-called education. As our society recognise only super specialists even from villages people want to show super specialist or move to big hospitals for treatment as our pm or home minister only treated in AIIMS, senior politicians bureacrats, rich doctors, engineers want treatment from these hospitals only and more so if serious disease present so every body wants to do DM/MCH courses and spend valuable times of 3-5 years to become a superspecialist and then join as senior resident under care of professor or senior persons as HOD in Pvt hospitals where their payment is far below what their seniors earn . So Be a doctor is very difficult and risky game so many doctors don't want to make their sibling as doctor as engineering students after just 04 yrs of education get good job of 5 to 15 lacs annually and if MBA from prestigious colleges then 15-30 lacs and IAS or IPS or IRS or IFS who could not compete PMT to be doctor or engineers earn much power, government facilities beside earning in crores if corrupt which is rampant in Indian society but still being Doctor they don't get public ,political,police ,press support ,people expect more from them with little or no charge and every cure at expense of minimum which is many times not possible so people treat them badly and even beat them or charge them in consumer court for no fault,facilities are provided less in government hospital as government spent very less of GDP in health sector and people are told every thing will be done in hospitals and doctors leading the team are blamed for every mis happening or ill-treatment or less facilities,price of every thing rising to start own clinic or nursing home very difficult as land price grown up. government needs many licences as fire, pollution, sound, commercial tax or establishment tax, electricity, provident fund, esi, service tax, municipality tax etc beside CMo license fee for runing hospital, for running labs.radiological centres beside sale tax and central tax on medicines and radiological lab agents and on hospital instruments beside huge bribes to Government officers,free treatment to netas and media and bribes and donations to local Muscle powers or gundas. So MANY DOCTORS AFRAID OF ESTABlishing their own clinic or hospitals and join service in private where they are less paid,those not in clinical branch has to depend on Government or Pvt medical colleges where service is lacking so many remains n employed and bent on other profession as brokery for shares or realty states to earn live hood. Most pvt medical colleges keep them for inspection purposes only so paid 1 lakh for assistant professorship 2-5 lakh for associate and professorship where they should get 1-2 lacs per month. So TO BE DOCTOR IN INDIA IS DIFFICULT AND SECONDLY TO REMAIN BE A DOCTOR IN INDIA IS TOO DIFFICULT TOO, now a days MCI of every state to earn money to compel these doctors to re-register at every 2-3 years interval as they move to anther state mci pressurise doctor to register with this state mci although INDIA is one and even Central MCI office at Delhi wants to register every teaching doctor to register with them paying money otherwise their teaching will not be recognised ,everywhere Doctors are forced to pay,all associations of Doctors as IMA,ASI,API. Fogsi has got huge membership annual fee beside attendance in yearly conferences so if a doctor who is not earning cant join them or attend these conferences so to run a healthy family life Doctors has to work very hard even after passing MD/MS OR DM/MCH and with so much spreading consumer courts where lawyers buy patients for ill-treatment and filling cases against doctors squeeze money from them for out of court settlement and vibrant media at every step inpect their treatment and often makes sting and exploit money from doctors with fear of publishing or casting it and pvt hospital pay them little squeezing much money in their pocket although they earn through doctors only secondly in Government if not sheltered by political or bureaucratic connections so much shifting and transfers comes this completely shack Doctor or his family in shock ,But inspite of all these hurdles we doctors have to stay and practice as it is still a noble profession best of all profession allow one to work with satisfication as we can bring only happiness and joy to some one else who is dying or suffering and if we practice with honesty and dedication no body can stop us from being " SECOND GOD " in the eye of public inspite of criticism. It is true that in India doctors are running Trust deficit or being questioned for every their action even some one does welfare to the society by doing service without taking money as people starts thinking this is either NGO based service backed by foreign or Indian donations or Government supported or any other purpose as Doctors or its organisation will start a new hospital or lab so to attract patients by giving free service before hand or a perverted purpose to lure poor uneducated villagers or Adivasis or Dalits in forest area or far approachable areas to change their religion as done by many Missionaries in India"CONVERSION" or stimulate them for Naxalism or other thoughts attracting their family first by urgent human health services.But this is in every part of life even in family or society for every our work someone in our family may pull us down or our neighbour/colleague may raise eye brow but as days move on realty comes and we are appreciated so questioning should deter us from rendering good services for sick persons as this is our noble profession and we are meant for this and any first-hand criticism or obstruction must be crossed with full enthusiasm as it happened with everyone who wanted to reform or to do good to society. We still find that many doctors are rendering their noble services in rural sectors too,doctors are working in army and paramilitary services or in mines or in factories against all odds and serving their best with limited salary than what is present for Pvt sectors newly assigned directors,president, vice-president or techy workers, many do Pvt practice and earns well and are not dependent of Government rather they employ many ,in Government many doctors work very hard do good research work and those work as scientist in research labs or companies yield very good result and those run big hospitals earn so much as cant be earned in any profession so still to be doctor must be motivated to our youths and doctor profession must not be seen with any lower standard compared to other profession of engineering,human management of bureaucracy. This profession has money,respect and working period up to death if practised with firm commitment and enthusiasm.
