Today I was invited to give a talk to first year medical students of Bharati Vidyapeeth New Medical College, Pune.
I am alumnus of this college (1990 batch).
Some points covered in the talk-
1. Comradarie, friendship and a sense of community is valuable. Make friends,
Nourish friendships, help each other. As doctors except your colleagues nobody will understand your difficulties. Provide that support.
2. Lady doctors have even more difficult job in our patriachic society. It is fine to be a good doc. You don't even need to take ALL roles
Pushed on you by society. Support each other as fellow lady doctors. Friends who give active help are gold dust. Let's do that for each other.
3. Learn to speak simple language . This is valued by patients and their families. Best way to achieve this is by teaching each other
Never turn down a colleague who is asking for academic help. You will be doing yourself a favour by helping them. Learn to speak jargon free language.
4. Nurture a hobby. Art, play, literature, nature, whatever holds your heart. Don't give up hobbies in med school.
Only way to stay human is to have art in life.
5. Don't forget to have fun. Competing in a mindless way will impoverish you. Studies can wait, life can't.
6. It is a long career with many twists and turns, support fellow doctors, have hobby and have fun.
I also told them that senior generation has failed the profession by NOT doing enough self regulation and protecting society from bad doctors. We all will pay a price for this.
With all this it is an enjoyable way to earn livelihood and a bit more.
They have cleared more difficult exams than any previous generation so they are good and they don't need certificates from seniors for that :)
I would be happy to be treated by one of them when I need it. They are in safe hands of professors who helped my generation.
