We must realize that doctors aren’t the problem, the system is. The public healthcare system is severely compromised. Despite handling three times the patients they should, they often end up as victims of a broken system.

While the approach & availability of doctors can be questioned on any day, the reality is that doctors & healthcare workers face immense challenges due to poor infrastructure & minimal staff. I have close friends in the medical field and know their tough schedules. They endure some of the harshest working conditions among professionals.

Apart from the hectic schedule, the recent reservation issues have further hit their morale. The last NEET PG exam was a blow, with only 25% of students from OM selected.
