“If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?”

Some crap medical interns will sympathize with!

So....so many things took place on my work front in the past week that I've not written here. Am not going to grumble AGAIN about people who are much more interested in my life than their own. Instead I pick up an incidence I came across that boils my blood every time I think of it.

This happened 2 days ago.

After working for all day long....I got a call from the hospital saying the RMO has asked me to report. Confused as I was, I inquired fo what it was...and the angry voice said..."what does that mean? You just have to be here"

I had to clear it up with the operator that he can't just call me whenever they want...coz after all m just an intern. So I changed and left for the hospital to clear things up.
There was this lady, whom I saw for the first time, who was the on call doctor sitting near the operator's desk. It was her voice earlier.
She said....go with man to the ambulance, you gotta leave for the village and check BP of 60 people.!
.....I denied...and there she was....her voice louder than the Civil Surgeon can actually use...telling me why I shouldn't be a doctor.
I was tongue tied as she was my senior but nevertheless with all that she spoke I was sure ..not helping her out was a good decision. Coz actually that was her job. Her shift was getting over at 8 and it was past 6:30 when this conversation took place. And seated in the operators room she was hunting for a prey.

Fuck her..my brain said....You say I shouldn't have been a doctor...but with this attitude of urs you should have been an Whore. She's paid for her freaking job, I'm not even given a stipend for any of my services. On top of that I PAY. I do my duty in the hours I'm supposed to. I'm even willing to do it if I was forewarned. But you can't squeeze out work from me at your disposal...n with those words. It's not like...I cannot take swearing from my seniors..I can. It's just people like that annoy me to such an extent that I can endure anything else.
Indian govt. colleges have made such bulls as doctors. Damn. I mean ...even I had seniors....but after that one year we all just got along fine.

Phew.....hate hate hate her. She's a temporary MO at our hospital.

I guess...I'll be having real fun working around her =D
