Medical profession


Why we must value and respect medical fraternity rather than resorting to wild criticisms or trying to replace scientific treatment with all sorts of online unprofessional medical advises.

Why good doctors are needed and they need to be respected and given adequate facilities and relaxation time too.

I read about renin and also rennin. 

I realized that real sincere medical profession involves not only merely learning, knowing and understanding too many nuances, not of mere spelling, but the nature, function and how reactions with various biochemicals  together are constantly carrying out their activities. 

The profession involves diagnosing and advising and administering the appropriate treatment according to the condition of the patient which again involves too many parameters.


To put it in a common man's language it involves working on or repairing multitude of high velocity dynamic variables. Perhaps a better way to put it is like repairing the wings of an aircraft while it is flying in high altitude. This is the case of most critical cases. 

So, I think the mushroom of WhatsApp warriors spilling generous medical advice must stop and this is one of the reasons why one cannot compromise on the quality and standard of medical education

Medical profession

Specialties are inevitable.

Probably we may have a specialist for olfactory nerves one for the left nostril and another for the right nostril.

But jokes apart it is the serious research and empirical data based specialties in health care that have contributed to increased number of aged people and many cures or at least remedies and comforts to several diseases.

The medical profession in general and private hospital based health care in particular along with advanced diagnostic equipments have made huge strides to the betterment of society.

Unfortunately, the society has a whole fails to appreciate and realize the difficulties and duties of all medical professionals from nurses to paramedics to hospital administrators to doctors.

Their jobs are very tough.

The worst part is day in and day out they deal with sickness, diseases, trauma, tragedies, troubles as part of their profession.

It is physically tough, psychologically tiring and emotionally very demanding but with all these they are expected to maintain their balance, put aside their personal life and perform their duties with seriousness and careful attention with a uneasy but intense involvement.

Incidentally in today's TOI i.e.2nd April Chennai edition central page has a wonderful article 'Medicine at Crossroads' by Anoop Misra Chairman Fortis.
