“Resident doctors are the backbone of Indian medical system,”
“Yet no proper space for them to sit, no proper hostel facilities, no proper food or say even salaries!”
If the patient is not getting a proper treatment or drugs or investigation, they are the ones who bear all the burnt.If they are always at the forefront, bearing the violence of attendants of patients then why are they not provided a proper facility or security at the hospital?”“They have no guarantee of job. After doing more than ten years of medical studies, they still work as ad hoc. Their services as resident doctors are terminated after three years.”

Resident doctors are the doctors practising at hospitals as part of their post-graduation studies. After three years of their services, they have to give exams after passing which they get their medical certification to continue practice. Every now and then, there has been some news of strikes by resident doctors demanding better facilities and security. What is it that leads them to call on strike?
In government hospitals, resident doctors are less in numbers when compared to patients admitted on everyday basis. “In public hospitals, it’s the resident doctors who work 24X7. Senior consultant doctors are only supposed to monitor resident doctors whether everything is going right or they change the prescriptions if necessary
In government hospitals, the one who is responsible for the patients is a resident doctor only, since he is studying on the job and his degree always remains on the radar of danger. From this learning phase, if anything goes wrong, he can be disqualified at any moment. The reason why resident doctors are always on their toes.”
No Break!
Since resident doctors are studying on the job, they couldn’t find time to study for their exams and look after their health and family. “Due to high work load in medical colleges, a resident doctor doesn’t find time to go for a research work. His time flies away looking after patients as we can’t say no to patients neither we find time to study after our duty hours,
“While we work, we are still students. We have to give exams after completion of our residency tenure. On the contrary, we are not provided enough time for the preparations of the exams. We are not even granted leaves,”
With long working hours, there is no personal life left for a resident doctor, professional life is dead too with no money,”
Poor Conditions of Accommodation
“We are living in a pathetic conditions where you can’t even stand for 15 minutes. We are not even provided things that are necessary for the survival of a human being with no proper sanitations or ventilations
Our strikes convey wrong messages that doctors don’t work,”“Every solution exists only for a month or two and then it all falls back to square one,Why government has not done anything yet? “Because they do not care. One of our professors told us that if you do not work under stress, then how you will learn. For them, stress is good. They do not know the actual condition of the hospital or even if they are aware they are neglecting. Because of negligence, the patients are at stake more than doctors. If a doctor takes longer time to see a patient, then how will he look after other patients who are waiting to be seen.
with all the adversities we bring out the best we can and still we r the one treated worst .i raise only one question..............why?
is this the fate we have chosen by ourselves or it is the reward for being the best humans.
