Writing on the Wall
An article in Indian Journal of Medical Ethics:

This article makes interesting reading. Concern is that even after publication of such articles in reputed journals, no action is taken. This is ample proof that medical governance has reached it nadir in India!

Medical Council of India: The Rot Within
Note: This post is related to the previous post requesting support for the NCHRH bill that is likely to be proposed in the Indian Parliament this year. Again, I would greatly appreciate any publicity that you can give for this issue. Please link, reblog, tweet, digg, stumble, or share in all the other myriad ways of Web 2.0.
I would be grateful if Indian bloggers and blog aggregators like DesiPundit and Blogbharti publicized this.

Tolerance is a forte of Indian people. This probably stems from the fact that our society has tolerated conquests by various raiders over centuries and thus have learned to be silent! Its a good quality to possess, but in moderation. I have also tolerated a well known fact all these years while I practiced and taught medicine in a medical college - the corruption in bodies which regulate our medical colleges, hospitals and medical education. The limit to my tolerance stretched and broke, when I read about the extent of corruption in this august body - our Medical Council, with the recent arrest of its president.
What can be my contribution to restore credibility in our regulating bodies? How can I help? I do not have many answers. I have blogged, written to various editors and spent time on the net figuring out what is the reaction of our medical fraternity. I have figured out that alone I cant achieve much. I need to connect and form a community. Thus this Blog!
I want readers to put in their comments as to how 'WE' can do something. I will keep posting links of what has happened as well what have been the various reactions to this scam. Together, we should voice our concern as well as suggest a remedy!
