India introduces World's first hospital-train

[gslv]

I have served about 5 months in a PHC after completion of my MBBS . let me share the experience.

1. It took freaking 1 months to give me the posting in the health starved state of Odisha.
2.the clerical staff was too annoying. he didn't pass my salary bill for 3 months citing some weird fitness certificate clause. ( FYI i was a house officer in a medical college just 15 days before i applied my job)
3.there was not even good quality antibiotic , just broad spectrum ones . i cant treat with broad spectrum ones. there should be some difference between me and a quack.
5.the house allotted to me was nearly broke so i had to travel 45 kms per day to reach the hospital.
6. my friends who were in private hospital were getting double the amount i was getting.
7.you have to get an extension after 28 feb of each year . and to add that you need to obtain another fitness certificate to join in the same post in the same place after 1 day.
UTTERLY BOLLOCKS.

at last i quit the job and now preping for PG exams even though i liked serving ppl.

Govt treats its resources like doctors with utter disdain.

My experience is perhaps more horrible than yours .
During my PG ( from semi autonomous institute ) , I opted a 6 month post in government hospital ( my own alma mater where I did UG and everybody knew me like hell ) ...and I had to go to ministry to get GR ...after 1 month I was told GR had expired ...
with burning enthusiasm to serve my parent hospital , I opted to work without any salary ...I gave to hospital in writing about it ...I was given posting only for 3 months ... I was tortured by bureaucrats for 3 months with all sorts of paper work and excuse ..and after 3 months I was told to get lost ....
My experience in hospital was also not flattering ....

Room given to me was full with fungus and the mattress was rotten ..I rather preferred to sleep in the ward .

This is what our health care system does to people who want to serve ....


after my stint in my own alma mater I swore to myself that I will never work in government hospital again ....

hospital train is good if your country doesn't have long list of deadly rail accidents every year

Bro everybody who talks against ...is not necessarily our enemy .
and everybody who talks nice about us is not necessarily our well-wisher .

Truth is that India's public health care system is virtually moribund .

I can say that because I am medico and I have worked in interiors of India and also I have seen health care systems in similarly placed country like Thailand ( which is rather impressive ) or much better and commendable systems in other developed countries ....

we are worse than most of the Asian countries when it comes to health care ...

My uncle and aunts are doctors who studied in India, then moved to the US. What you are saying is correct. What INDO GUY is stating is not to hurt our sentiments but to expose the truth. These trains do help, there is no question but the standard and quality of care is nowhere where it should be. 6 decades of mismanagement is the result of this. Indians need to wake up and teach the uneducated and illiterate what they are missing. Every political party especially CONGRESS under the GANDHIS is totally corrupt. All I ever hear that pos Rahul talk about is caste this, caste that. So who is really scare mongering us? Who is really using caste to divide us? Wake up or perish! I don't like BJP but be honest to yourself about Modi. The guy has what it takes to put us on a the right path. He is our SARDAR PATEL. ( do anyone of you realize how little info of hisotry books contain of real INDIAN leaders like Sardar and such). We may never ever get a chance like Modi again in our lifetimes. We already lost 60 yrs to a family who gives zero f-ks about India. Plz dont let this once in a life opportunity slip. We will never get it back for a long time. This I promise.



Our doctors are great, our nurses are damn good, etc but it comes down to mismanagement. Stop crying and do something. Vote for a guy who has more vision in one eye than the entire Congress party

Multi pronged approach ?
we have no approach what so ever when it comes to health care ....

It's absolutely neglected and wasted ....

Me and tens thousands of doctors like me are working overseas and India has shortage of medical personnel ...why ?

Have you ever been to Primary Health care centre ?

You should visit once ...and you will know the state of the affairs of health system ....


True ...that's why at one place I said ...non existent health care system ....

while i would not agree with your first part that there is no system, systm is definately there which is less efficient and poorly managed (neglected true but not wasted to the extent of ir-repairbility, and it is improving at less than satisfactory speed). One of my prfessors left the medical college coz he thought govt system sucks

Not personal questions but for info yeah i did do my internship in PHC (part of MBBS curriculum). but after seeing the hardship and no scope for study i bribed there (I am a realist not over-optimist and went from there to study for further entrances. (Funny my fiance went to CHC full two month, as did other interns, what she found that there were specialists posted there but no one used to come there, damn whole hopital (read big) used to be run by interns, even though she loved it (as boss), even i treated along side her (non authorised) u feel so powerful there (rural india as doc), this is what i have been tellin, rural India need MBBS graduates not specialists).

Indeed a brilliant idea.
