well even if i dont know the motives and counter-motives, if u guys could stick on for 30 days...i think there is some committment..... Let me tell you why I am not interested in your strike.... 1. I havent seen that much of your elder fraternity practice the sudden compassion you guys are showing....which means my exp, excepting few guys is, practice at commercial hospitals even when employed by Govt. 2. Bunk duties at rural/semi-urban and open clinics in towns...(i know this becuz one of my uncles, a very dedicated in PHC service and I had the first hand exp of 12 hospitals he was posted......he even has to write up the salary slips of the doctors hmself and draw the cash amd disburse the amounts....forget abt duties.....never seen the second resident doctor residing at the hospital quarters...). 3. I dont understand why you guys if committed so much oppose compulsory rual services.....really cant even grasp the reason for opposition!!!! So I guess unless you try and remove that kind of attitudes from the medical fraternity......you probably wouldnt get the support and to the extent you are expecting from ppl like me...and I beleive we constitute majority..... But beleive I do congratualate you on the move...atleast there is a begining....but at this moment I cant give you much support than this.

hi, whoever says that setting up of private colleges is good and its not going to affect merit students, i appreciate ur thoughts and i support ur ideas.BUT... in practice,if u see a pvt. college,its infrastructure,facilities,the hospital required for the students to get exposure to various patients and faculty is not at all in par with any of the govt. colleges. i personally feel tht these young doctors r doing strike for justifiable causes, and i support their policy. im a journalist and i tried to see how things go in these pvt. colleges. imagine if there is a hospital attached to these colleges and they run it for money,how much patient input will u expect and will they allow all the patients to be touched by these 'training doctors'. have u read about the incident of kamineni hospitals,they had to disguise the civil engineers there as doctors to show to the medical council of india.if a medical college hosptial of such high financial potential is doing this,wht about the rest of the hospitals. nor can they depend on govt. hospital for the practicals all the time.then there is no meaning for the existance of these colleges. infact strike is not a good way of expressing someones protest.but as it seems they have exhausted all other means of communication with the govt.,it seems this is the best way. as urchinni mentioned about caste/tribe, its a beehive,and its not wise to disturb it now.right things is it comes in the purview of the politicians and the common man who vote for them,tht is we ourselves. though these r losing their valuable time,they r continuing this strike,and i wholeheartdly appreciate wht u do young men n women. wish u success. regards sasi

If I am not wrong, there is reservation system even in medical colleges based on CASTE/TRIBE...thanks to great constitution to begin and really great indian culture to continue that. What happened to the QUALITY of system that people are talking about in that case?

I sincerely appreciate your efforts publish the story behind the strike. I can see the humanitarian angle in your intentions to protest against the hike in service charge, but the means you have selected is foolish, I believe. Is STRIKE, the only means to fight against the government policy on hiking the fee? It has become a style for students to go on strike for whatsoever reasons. Have you ever questioned yourself, is it really worthy way of fighting against? Have you ever thought of what are you going to achieve by going on strike? Do you know what you are wasting? Be frank. You guys must be having other motives. Trying to get softcorner for the issue by projecting the human side of it. And 2nd issue of NEW Private colleges with higher donations : There is no injustice done to merit students. Merit students still get the seats. Did you analyze anytime how the system works. Say, We have 10 MERIT colleges each can make 100 doctors each. All 100 merit student, FORGET the rubbish reservation system wherever exists. Now govt can not open new colleges on its own. You know the state of affairs. So you can not increase the strength of merit students. So they opened the charter to pvt colleges, where say 50% students pay donations and 50% merit students can study in their colleges paying the same fee(free seat) as in govt colleges. In effect, my friend, they are giving 50 more seats extra to your so called merit students. Are merit students loosing anything? no they are actually gaining more seats.

Hi, Let me appreciate your way of presenting the issue. After seeing the comments I can say that you have succeeded in that. It is good thing that medical students are really worrying about the poor people who can't afford to eat rice but needed to take meat and eggs to be healthy. neti balale, repati porulu. So, no matter of where the strike ends, you all, who is doing strike today for poor people, tomorrow will be working in such rural areas, for poor people, forgetting weekends, nights, holidays............. We all will appreciate if we see the same pain in your heart for poor people in the future( After you graduated from your PG and starting your carrer) , and work towards your aim instead of doing any strikes. We wish all the best wishes to you who are determined and decided that their future will be dedicated to those people for whom you are striking today. Now lets talk about 'merit degree' vs so called 'money degree'. How do you measure merit?. lets take your profession in AP, I presume that 'EAMCET RANK' is the scale. How many people who seen various educational systems, and knows the process of EAMCET , will support this ranking system. I agree that there should be a scale to measure the talent. No specific strategy in which all will agree. But definitely most of the people who analyzed the EAMCET system will hesitate to accept it. I hope you agree that to get medicine seat in AP, you must take it as YAGNAM. Needs hard work to go through your subjects. A doctor needs dedication to serve, patience to listen to the problem , positive attitude to give the hope until death, soothing nature to make him feel peaceful. Are these being tested before you start the course? I agree that to get even Medical rank, you need the dedication, but how many +2 students will study with strong dedication to become doctor and how many to serve? A person, who wants to become doctor and to serve, but doesn’t like the subject of chemistry to an extent that needed for EAMCET Exam. …………………………………….. If you want to become a good programmer, you must have logical skills to analyze the requirements and code as Computer doesn’t work with heart. Where as if you want to become a good doctor ( Like as You said “GOD” ) you need to have dedication to serve and support as we are aa having hearts.! 'you are the only person who should take call to judge your activities.' Please excuse my English as I am at my work place but couldn’t stop to pen down my feelings about your issue. Friendly, Sumedha

mr sastry,this is an effort to answer ur queries 1)pl. dont get carried away by the prices of the corporate hospitals.the poor and the rural people are stil getting good treatment. i personally witnessed how these doctors struggle in a govt. or rural hosptial with minimal equipment and lack of supplies of medicine.u r a computer engineer,u know wht hardwork is.but if u still have to work on holidays,weekends,festivals,nights without all the necessary equipment u need,(and if not in New Delhi,but a remote vilalge)how wil u feel.r not the doctors doing their best despite all these at govt. or rural hospitals.should we not appreciate them for all of these. and if somebody thinks tht,not even 2% of medicos r going to serve the people,is it wise tht govt. also start charging the public.if the above statement is true all the poor would have been deprived of medical assistance by now.as with any other field, its unwise to expect 100% of the people serving the community. 2)good that u mentioned about the commercialisation of engineering.a person with a poor performance in entrance is able to get a seat in these courses.if they passout and start working,can we expect quality work from them for this country.i think there is no need to explain the obvious consequences with doctors of low calibre. 3)is this an industry or a commodity in which we r losing profits to the neighbouring states.its not the money that only matters!!dont get me wrong.if a thought comes into action of introducing some payment/NRI MLA seats,minister posts wht.s going to happen.r we not losing loads of money by not yet implementing this??!! if these boys n girls r raising their voice against a policy which is not good, we people from all strands of life should support and encourage them.

YOU ARE ABSOULTELY RIGHT TO SAY THAT POOR IS BEING TREATED SHABBILY IN GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS. HAVING BEEN IN THE PHARMA FIELD for THIRTY LONG YEARS AND SEEN ALMOST ALL THE GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS IN THE ENTIRE SOUTH, I FEEL SAD TO SEE THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE OF THE HOSPITALS OR TREATING THE POOR ARE CONCERNED. YOU ARE ABSOULTELY RIGHT IN SAYING MONEY DOES NOT GIVE INTELLIGENCE AND ANY PROFESIONAL FIELD FOR THAT MATTER SHOULD NOT HAVE A PRICE. IT SHOULD BE PURELY ON MERIT. YOUNGSTERS ARE SENSITIVE AND EMOTIONAL TO THE NEEDS OF THE NATION AND IF YOUR ARE ON A STRIKE FOR GOOD OF THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE THEN GO AHEAD AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE. BUT REMEMBER THIS THOUGHT SHOULD BE CARRIED THROUGH OUT YOUR LIFE AND CAREER. LET THIS GOOD THINKING OF YOURS AND YOUR COLLEAGUES BE IMBIBED FOR EVER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT GOOD YOUNGSTERS GET LOST IN THEIR DIRECTION MID WAY OF THEIR LIFE AND THEIR GOOD FAITH AND THINKING GETS DISTORTED.KEEP UP AND PRAY THAT ALL OF YOU RISE TO THE OCCASION AND HELP THIS GREAT COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE.

It is good that you have put down your thoughts on the medicos strike 1) How many of the current Medicos (future doctors) will serve to community with out taking charges. As of now it self Doctors do charge at a very high rate. I do not belive even 2% of total striking students will serve to community or rural people with out taking any charges. 2) On commercialising of education one question props me why Engineering students never took up their cause to streets? Similar thing has been done in Engineering courses also. It does not matter whether it is Engineering or MBBS courses all the areas we should have quality. Why only medicos? 3) Govt point is that there is a huge cash flow to outside state, so why cannot this be used with in state? Not only NRIs but even many Andhra Students go to outside state to pursue Medical education. What to do with that?
