What do doctors think when they meet their 30th patient of the day? Can coffee and the Hippocratic Oath really be enough to fuel 36 hours of duty? And do they remember their first loss against death? In the aftermath of the rape and murder of a young doctor at a hospital in Kolkata, the streets are flooded with equally horrifying stories of violence from all categories of healthcare workers.
On the one hand, we genuinely need people willing to learn about the 100 trillion cells, 206 bones, and 600 muscles that make up the human body. But on the other hand, we don’t seem to be providing them with the trust, safety, and patience required for successful treatment and their own well-being.
This episode is a celebration and recognition of the people who willingly sacrifice their own health to guarantee ours. Dr Mohammad Khan, at Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road in Bengaluru takes us on a journey from when the dream to be a doctor originates to the first patient who disrespects the process of modern medicine.
Tune in to discover what a day in the life of a healthcare worker looks like, how a coke addict is responsible for the gruelling work timings of residents, and why you must cooperate with your doctor for a faster recovery.
