This is a picture taken at a peripheral hospital.
This is just one out of dozens of motor cycles with the Dr Stickers there.
Some body may think that this mode of transport shows the fact how simple and down to earth these doctors are.
But it is far-off from the truth.
The increasing tendency among doctors is to use more and more motor cycles. The deteriorating financial status does not allow the ordinary doctor to use a car.
I was dreaming of a day when a doctor is given a car from the 1 st day of their service.
Suddenly I was brought back to the reality by a call from a doctor at Seru vila.
Being a doctor who is not having any extra duty payments, his financial status is such that he is using a bicycle to reach his working place which is many miles away from his place of stay.
TRUTH IS BITTER, DO NOT BE ANGRY WITH ME FOR REVEALING IT,
There is nothing to hide, because the society knows the true situation of the present day doctor.
BUT DOES THE PRESENT GMOA EX CO KNOW THIS!
Do they care a bit !!!!!
Adding what you have mention there, Don't go far from colombo see at LRH/NHSL how many doctors use the public transportation. How many goes to canteen and ask for half lunch. Reality is there which is bitter truth.
