Wake up, state govt.By: observer | 11-Jul-2009Reply | ForwardThe Maharashtra Govt had better pay reasonable stipends to the trainee resident doctors. How else does it expect the doctors to pay for their costly books and fees ? The same govt did not think twice before paying State Govt Employees, 6 th pay commission salaries! The excuse that the resident doctors are trainees will not wash. If exploited now, it is the common man who will have to pay them, when they eventually come out to practice.And they are going to remember they were shown no mercy and would decide to pay out to society at large in like measure.Our politicians will go abroad for treatment at state expense but what about us commom citizens? If the resident doctors are going to be dismissed, where do the ordinary people like me go for treatment? To the station masters of rly stations? To post masters in post offices? or to the slothful babus in Mantralaya, who themselves more than a lakh of rupees a month for doing no work?Elections are approaching, better listen to the doctors.
