I think that article by Shenoy was just his own piece of imagination rather than the actual fact. What right have the doctors got to go on a strike? While passing out of their colleges, becoming doctors, they take out the pledge that they would give the first priority of saving human lives above all other considerations. Where have those pledges and values gone for these doctors? Secondly, all the doctors in AIIMS are having a roaring private practice in the capital. And they dont justify their position by going on strike. I have had experiences where some of the doctors have recommended patients to visit their private clinics/hospitals while serving in the Institution. Where has the value of the esteemed institution gone? The doctors are at loggerheads with politicians thus converting their noble profession into a political tussle. Shame on these doctors.
