CORPORATIZATION OF MEDICINE

Medicine is changing..like all other professions..the change is sudden and staring at the face..change with the change ..or ..perish ..at your..
In big cities ..practitioners were taken aback when..10 yeras ago a corporate..hospital told doctors in no uncertain terms and without mincing word..'..increase the numbers'..
Many senior docotrs came back and sat down to think..some still hanging on to their baggage ..of oath..threw in towel and put in their papers..
The smarter ones..bought..corportae attire..new cufflinks..and tie ..wore on their jaded' baniyan' and set out with the new lives..chucked their dirty old ' black calf leather docbag' switched ..on to sleek samsonites..filled it up..with mortgage papers and went out for their clinical hunt..like ' SHIKARIEEZ'..patients became 'targets' and docotrs became hunters...consummer protection act..demanding attitude of patients..and city stresses spoilt the remaining relationships..personal and profssional..
We have arrived..said a few..and we are old fashioned ..stick to our own thing..
