I have written it as my hobby,
Kkp what you do
Me sir I try to evaluate my behaviour . I think about how I think,,
I review my decisions,, also it sets me right when ever I go wrong..
it guides my emotion to do better
kkp you are emotional person ???
me yes sir
kkp an emotional person cannot be practical person ..and
emotional person cannot be practical also.. we don’t need such people
me sir, shall I take an example
kkp ok
me sir, since I am a doctor and when ever my patient comes to me
I show my emotion and my empathy towards him to accommodate
him .. but while prescribing the drugs I am the most practical person
.i prescribe based on scientific tenets..so I think an emotional person
can be practical too..
kkp till now his face was wearing mask.. he didn’t showed any
facial expression . and pointed fingers towards 1st member to ask question
member 1(m1) he was sitting left to him
m1 so dr you are from agra
me yes sir.
m1 dr I call AGRA as a GUTTER ..despite it being tourist place it is very dirty
me sir , I beg to defer with you here,,sir you are talking about pre 2008
status now agra has changed a lot
m1 really
me yes sir
m1 ok tell me what all we can do to tackle such problems in big metropolis
me sir we need to educate people.. we should strengthen
municipality corp,,allow them to come up with bonds to
ensure their financial instability
m1 and in citis
me sir, I am staying in delhi from past 1 yr and I saw that MCD sends
their autos and truck to clean the areas . so I think we can copy this plan
in other cities like agra also
m1 who is responsible for all this mess
me sir , we all
m1 how we
me sir , we are the one who throw our garbage in roads and there
is implementation failure also
m1 government is coming up with courses like BRMS because there is
scarcity of doctor . and you people instead of working in rural area come
and join services..why are you shifting from your field
me sir, an MBBS is just a beginning or a step in medical field.. and todays is era of multispecialisation(inter disciplaniry) I think we can help more.. and I being doctor I am more well versed with fellow doctors problems and I think I can tackle that through civil services..sir recently there was a news that in maharastra only 40 % students of 1st year reach 2nd yr and I think I understand this problem better
kkp interrupted the m1 and asked m2 (lady member) to ask
m2 dr what are your views about traditional medicine , should we discard it
me mam.. ayurveda has treated our people from past 2000 yr. and even till today we all rely on ayurveda .traditional medicines is deep rooted in us take for example we all eat chawanprash which is an ayurved prep. Mam what I believe that ayurved in in its lowest ebb now and allopathic medicine in its peak.. so there is need for more research in this field
m2 but we do not have money
me true mam.. but govt is working in this front we have AYUSH dept .we have homeopathy ,ayurved college etc
m2 dr do you know about HDI
Me yes mam
M2 who measures health component on HDI
Me and then I kept quiet for some time and then she prompted that is national family health survey..
M2 do you know what is our ranking in this
Me sorry mam I don’t know.. but I know we are behind srilanka n Bhutan in this
M2 yes.. but why so
Me mam . may be population pressure
Kkp interrupted mam and told member 3 to ask . m3 was sitting right to me mam wanted to ask more question but she stopped and I gave a smile to her.kkp sir was listening when I was telling chawanprash stuff.how ever till now kkp sir and other members did not gave any expression
M3 dr you told you are emotional,, what is difference between emotional person and impulsive and who is better
Me sir, impulsive person takes decision instantaneously while emotional thinks and i believe emotional is better than impulsive
M3 asked one more ques relating to emotion which I have never heard, so I stated that I don’t know sir
M3 dr do you take interest in foreign afFairs
Me yes sir , I do
M3 who is indias best friend
Me sir, in long term relations I it is Russia and recently it is USA
M3 WHY USA needs us,big brother attitude of USA
Me sir for balance of power with china, its strategic interest, its commercial interest.we are largest consumer of US goods blah..blah…
M3 what do you think that doctors are going to USA and not serving nation
Me sir, they do help us gain dollar which we require the most
M3 but dollar is no more an international currency
Me true sir, but we import oil which is need of hour and their payment has to
be done in dollar terms so dollar is valuable for us
M3 ok , do you know how much is foreign exchange reserve now
Me I was not sure and wanted to play safe so I told sir I think its more than 250 mn dollars
M3 ok quiet above this value..he points toward member 4
M4 dr as you rightly pointed out that MBBS is just beginning ,but don’t you think that doctors are not at all going to rural area what about health of rural people
Me sir I beg to defer with you here,, (he nodded) sir infact my friends are working in rural area, my seniors are also working in rural area also sir when I was student during my community medicine postings I have seen doctors working in rural area.. sir however I do agree that there is problem of turn over
M4 dr you are from agra or karnataka
Me sir agra
M4 but you have spent your most of time in Karnataka
Me yes sir, but I was sent there
M4 sent ???
Me yes sir , since I had my schooling in military school so I was sent there ,but sir later I started liking that place and infact I learned kannada also and later on did MBBS from there
M4 what was your choice for military school
Me sir , I don’t remember( that form was filled when I was in 5th and what I remember my father had filled that form)
M4 you did MBBS from bijapur. Bijapur is famous for??
Me after a pause sir its golgumbaz
M4 nodding his head .. what it is
