I am sitting in a cafe having my evening tea with my friends, watching the pretty girls passing by the window and all of a sudden there is an alarm in the atmosphere. A bunch of people dashed across the view pushing a wheel chair with an unconscious girl lying with her head slumped in it. Next to the cafe there is this small health center to which they are obviously heading.
Isn't it miraculous work that a doctor does? This girl who is looking totally healthy, who cannot explain to him anything is brought to him and he has to diagnose the problem that's hurting her, may be immediately or after a bunch of tests. Many doctors have the skills to diagnose complex diseases or problems of their patients, which are not obvious from the symptoms.
My thoughts are going to one place. The way medical education works in my country. I find it hard to digest that a lot of opportunities to study medicine are granted to students who has money rather than the students who has any aptitude or the brains to do it. I am pretty sure that a person needs to be a bit intelligent to be a doctor and the whole possibility of many idiots becoming doctors just because they have wealthy parents creeps me out.

i thought about this, when they introduced "paid seats" instead of merit seats...
which also needs to be read as ... 'no more reservations of any sort', caste creed money nothing .. just pure merit.
which would have kicked me outta CET and placed me in GEC thrissur, if i wanted to learn computer science :)
