Ahmedabad: Opining that one cannot be permitted to act as per his whims and play with the lives of people, the Gujarat High Court on Wednesday turned down the plea of a 50-year-old man who had sought to be readmitted to MBBS course more than three decades after dropping out.

Referring to the advances of medical science over these years, and also pointing out that the syllabus of the MBBS course must have changed in this course of time, the High Court bench comprising of Justice Bhargav D Karia dismissed the man's plea of appearing for the third year MBBS examination.

"Suppose there are no rules (for such readmissions). Even then, you cannot be permitted to act as per your whims, more particularly when you are going to play with the lives of people," the court was quoted observing by PTI.

The bench was considering a plea filed by one Kandip Joshi, who had appeared for his second-year MBBS exams at Baroda Medical College in 1988 and later dropped out due to personal reasons.

The petitioner, who is currently engaged in some business, wanted to pursue his third year MBBS course and appear for the exam at the same college, more than 30 years later, Joshi's lawyer told the court.

Joshi had first approached the college in 2013 seeking readmission in the third year, and after being denied, he approached the court, which dismissed his plea in 2019, while giving him the liberty to approach the Medical Council of India (MCI), now National Medical Commission (NMC) with representation.

The petitioner's lawyer stated that when Joshi approached the MCI, it rejected his request stating that "the duration of discontinuation allowed shall be five years from the period of discontinuation".

It said that the date of application for rejoining should not be later than five years from the date of discontinuation. In Joshi's case, it was 31 years since he first approached the Dean of the Medical College at Vadodara in 2013, his lawyer said.

After taking note of the submissions of the petitioner's counsel, the High Court bench wanted to know why he should continue to pursue the MBBS course at this stage in life and "play with the lives of people".

"Why should he waste…what will he get after this? Can he do an internship at the age of 50? It is not possible. How many children (does he have)? At the age of 50, his children must be in the age of pursuing MBBS course. Will he study with his children for the course?" Justice Karia asked.

He further said that the petitioner was bound to fail if he appeared for the exam, especially as he will be attending the new course after such a long gap.

When Joshi's lawyer argued that the petitioner sought to study the third-year course before taking the exam, the court said that such a permission cannot be granted. "Why should he be ready at this stage of life, to start from scratch?" the court questioned.

It further noted that the syllabus would have changed several times with the advances in medical science over the last three decades.

"The course for which you appeared for the first and second year MBBS exams does not exist, then where is the question of permitting you for the third year?" Justice Karia as he turned down the plea.

SALEM: Alleging serious irregularities in the execution of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) at Periyar University, students filed a complaint with Salem city police on Sunday.

The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) launched the scheme in 2014 as part of the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), with an aim to train rural youth and provide them with jobs with monthly wages. The centre for the DDU-GKY scheme at the University is functioning with the financial assistance of the central government.

As per the complaint filed by A Prem and four other students, in November 2022, 200 students joined the six-month Data Science course in the centre. However, after two months, the administration cancelled offline classes with a promise of online classes which never happened, alleged the students. They also said during the admission, the administration had opened bank accounts in their names to receive the scholarship amount but did not give the passbooks and ATM cards to them.

The students said, “We suspect they might have swindled our scholarship amount deposited by the government. There is a huge scam going on at the Periyar University under this scheme.” When asked about it, an official said, “The centre is still conducting classes for 60 students. The students, who filed the complaint, must contact the CEO,” he said.

Despite multiple attempts, K Thangavel, University Registrar (in-charge), who is also the CEO of the centre for the DDU-GKY scheme, was unavailable for a comment.

Why dreams have turned into nightmares for these medicos

Why dreams have turned into nightmares for these medicos

NEW DELHI: After completing her MBBS, 27-year-old Chanchal (name changed) put in two years of hard work to prepare and clear her postgraduate National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). She is now a second-year PG student in the obstetrics and gynaecology department of a state-run government medical college in Delhi. Her dream, however, has turned into a “nightmare”.

“Every day, I wake up with a feeling of regret. I wish I had not opted for this branch and sacrificed my mental health. Even thinking about going to the hospital makes me anxious. I have been diagnosed with depression and put on medication. Unfortunately, I’m not the only one who is suffering due to an understaffed and toxic work environment in government hospitals,” she said.

Several resident doctors TOI spoke to shared similar concerns about the conditions in top state- and Centre-run government-run medical colleges in the city — long, taxing days where the working hours could stretch from 18 to 36 hours, sleep deprivation, non-sanctioning of leaves during emergencies and ‘mistreatment’.

Recently, 25-year-old Jay Dipesh Savla, a third-year PG resident doctor from Centre-run Safdarjung Hospital, allegedly died by suicide at his south Delhi home, where he lived alone. According to police, Savla had been suffering from depression for the past two years. While it is not yet clear if this was linked to work-related stress, his death has put the spotlight back on the working conditions of resident doctors.

Describing the condition of PG residents, especially in bigger medical colleges, as “pathetic”, a doctor who recently completed her post-graduation in general medicine at Safdarjung Hospital, claimed, “There is no regulation of working hours for resident doctors. They are paid to work 48 hours a week, but instead they are forced to putin over 100 hours each week. Getting a PG degree from a government college is equivalent to going through continued abuse.”

Physician burnout, she added, was potentially dangerous not only for doctors, but also for their patients, as research has shown it to be linked to medical errors and found that overworked doctors are twice as likely to make one. “Unfortunately, the patients who are at the risk of human error often belong to the economically weaker sections, so not much is done to get the system rectified,” she said.

When contacted, there was no immediate response from Safdarjung Hospital.

Another resident doctor from the hospital’s general medicine department claimed junior residents also face harassment at the hands of senior doctors. “Imagine someone who has worked extremely hard to get into a government college, only to get humiliated by seniors every day. Seniors not only make juniors feel worthless, but also make them do menial work — from getting their food to paying for their meals. Not everyone can handle such pressure,” he added.

Many other resident doctors shared similar complaints, saying junior PG students face the brunt of the ‘toxicity’. The working environment, according to them, was the worst in departments such as surgery, orthopaedics, general medicine, and obstetrics and gynaecology.

According to Dr Sarvesh Pandey, general secretary, Federation of Resident Doctors Association, “The poor condition of PG resident doctors is an open secret. The government is starting morning and evening OPD, but have they opened any vacancies to operate these? The burden invariably lands on the shoulders of the residents. The root cause of their poor mental health is understaffed hospitals and lack of infrastructure.”

He added, “We have written multiple times to the Union health ministry to fill the pending vacancies in hospitals to bring down the workload. However, in most top medical hospitals, scores of posts are lying vacant.”

Last year, amid concerns over ragging and workload, National Medical Council, India’s apex medical regulatory authority, had asked all medical colleges to compile data on suicides and dropouts by undergraduate and postgraduate students in the past five years.
