Medical Humanities in India: Need of the hour
Journal Title: Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Just a few days ago, while having coffee with a group of elated Interns, who are about to complete their Internship, I had a casual conversation with them. When I asked them, “What made them pursue Medicine”, almost all gave a similar reply as “Want to serve the society, the humanity, the country and do good” and some said “Want to relieve the pain”. Well, all for good cause, I felt contented. Further when I probed as to what are their future plans, again all of them had the same answer “Right now, preparation for NEET (National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test), to pursue Post Graduation (PG), preferably go for Super-specialization”. Not very surprised with what I had to hear, curiously wanted to know why they all wanted to pursue super-specialization only? Again there was the similar response from all “To earn well and settle well”. Well, not bad! One has to be ambitious and this generation of budding doctors are high on it.
