PATNA: Union health minister A Ramdoss may have to spend hours sorting out the marriage proposals being sent by female medical students of the state.
Don’t be mistaken by considering these offers as positive gesture from women medicos rather it is a way they are protesting Ramdoss’s statement that a Bill is going to be introduced in the winter session of the Parliament for making one year compulsory rural service for students pursuing MBBS course across the country.
In one such move, women medicos of city Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) on Tuesday made marriage proposals holding roses in their hands before the poster of the Union minister. They claimed that the way things are moving, the women doctors in future would find it hard to get life partners after spending so many years in completing the MBBS course.
Encouraged by the unique gesture of their women counterparts, the men medicos of NMCH, too, have devised a unique way to register their protest against Ramdoss. Come Wednesday and these medicos would gather at the city Dak Bungalow square for cleaning up vehicles at the red light.
It may be recalled that hundreds of junior doctors of the state hit the roads on Monday to register their protest against the proposed Bill of the Union government which proposes one year compulsory rural service for obtaining a degree of MBBS from March next year. They said duration of one year would be in addition to the five and half years the medicos have to spend for becoming a qualified doctor. They have taken a stand that if the government was really interested in extending services of qualified doctors in the rural areas it should go for regular appointment of medicos instead of indulging in arms twisting tactics.
