prema 11 Jul 11 2:28 AM Very thought provoking blog. The salary of Jr. doctors in this country is inadequate and most are exploited to the core. The IMA in this country is busy with its own petty politics and seldom is able to look into these issues. They need to learn lesson from British Medical Association that have made regulations on salary, accommodation and travel for all Jr.doctors. A minimum standard policy that is compulsory. Some charitable institutions are doing business in guise of charity. Keeping OPD costs low is a way of attracting patients.
