A Doctor's Prayer : for every citizen of this country to hear and understand our situation. To empathize with us. So that we can discharge our duties and serve our country with a mind without fear..... So that the hands that heal do not bleed. .....

When a Food delivery guy gets beaten up: the entire country stands in solidarity. When teachers get ridiculed during the initial phases of online education, the entire country stood with them. When events occur in far off countries, social media is abuzz . Yet there is a huge silence that speaks louder when the citizens of the country dont Support their doctors and condemn the violence.

I hope all my non medical friends listen to this and help us in sharing the message so that we can have solidarity and support in these tough and challenging times.

Ek Doctor ki Maut: The plot of the movie is different and loosely based on the life of Dr.Subhas Chandra Mukhopadhyay and highlights the ostracism, bureaucratic negligence, reprimand and insult of a doctor and his research.
But this Movie title is apt for the current ongoings in the field of medicine. Wake up India. Protect and for them to save you or You would be responsible for the death of a profession.

From the Case files… ( Pre-Online Teaching Era) : by Dr. Biju James
(Based mainly on true events, though all names, except mine, have been changed)

With the advent of online learning, lot of stuff taught has moved online. However, I wonder if its possible to entirely shift learning online. © Treat by Alterdoctors

I remember the time we had a case presentation in Surgery. The case assigned was a patient with an ulcer on his leg. It was a raw red gaping wound and an invitation to painful su***de to us, the medical students.

The sacrificial lamb was Tony (name changed; whaddya expect- the guy’s twice my size in two dimensions). He did all the steps prescribed in Das, the textbook of clinical surgery that all of us carried in the hope that its contents will be transferred into us via osmosis or diffusion or reverse Krebb’s cycle or something. And honestly, if Tony couldn’t do a good job of it, nobody could.

Anyway, at the end of the allotted time, the surgeon who was to take the class strode in. He was a tall, broad shouldered chap called Dr Pinto (yeah, name changed; detailed reason mentioned above). He walked upto the bed, rested a bent knee on the bed and cast a look of disdain at us. © Treat by Alterdoctors

Tony stepped forward and started his case presentation. It was going well until he came to the nature of the discharge. “The discharge isn’t foul smelling,” he declared.

Dr Pinto came to life. “How did you check for the smell of the discharge?”

And the case presentation came to a grinding halt. There really were no two answers to that question. “I… smelt…”

“Show me how you smelt the discharge,” Dr Pinto demanded.

This was a new one. And as expected, nobody knew the answer to that. Tony bravely gave it a shot- I’ll say that much. He stood at the foot end of the bed, about a meter away from the patient and the ulcer, turned his nose towards the ulcer and sniffed delicately.© Treat by Alterdoctors

“What the hell!” Dr Pinto roared, his eyes blazing, almost popping a minor aneurysm. “Is this how you check the smell of the discharge?”

He grabbed the gauze pieces, squashed them onto the ulcer, mopping up every drop, put the gauze pieces about three inches into his nose and inhaled deeply propelling the smell into his terminal alveoli. All fifteen of us were too stunned
to ask if the discharge was foul smelling or not. © Treat by Alterdoctors

“And that is how you check the discharge for smell!” Dr Pinto finished.

“And taste at the same time,” Tony muttered to me.

Seriously, you can’t move this kind of interactive session online.

THROUGH THE FACE SHIELD: An impression of internship- a few moments in and out of the hospital that left a young doctor overwhelmed as she took her first steps into the profession she had always dreamt of. She had come to realise that it's the small moments, be it holding a newborn's hand or inserting her first IV cannula or even contracting chicken pox while on the job, that she would fondly remember at the end of it.
Dr. Sasi takes us through her unforgettable memories of internship via these 10 art pieces.
