Being a professor at medical college

View me on Instagram

In maharashtra, People who have done md medicine are paid Rs. 80,000 to 90,000 per month, if they work as assistant professor in any govt. medical college. They are allowed to practice outside also, through which they earn nearly 60 to 80 thousand, simply because most of the patients from general population get used to their names when they interact with the same in medical college.

What the asst. Professor does in medical college is more interesting !
After taking round in wards which takes just 15 to 20 mins or less, they sit in college canteen to enjoy tea for nearly 30 mins, another 30 mins to talk with class 3 ,class 4 workers of the hospital and local so called politicians...This would help to grow their private practice outside...Also by this they have covered nearly 1 and half hour of their OPD hours (which is in total of 3.5 hours and only two days a week)...Now after 1 pm onwards they get busy in their private practice and there are no evening rounds at medical college.

For their amusement they can arrange a half hour clinic or lecture twice a month, if they think so, And can enjoy playing jokes on the medical students, which the students themselves enjoy, surprisingly ! (may be due to all the frustration they face in such scenario)
Dont think that patients are kept waiting for treatment, there is huge army of doctors to treat them. Starting from Interns, H.O.s, diploma students, PG students, registars, lecturers ; so the Asst. Professor is not expected to worry about anything, he is left with the only job of signing some documents or torturing any student for not doing his duties and extending his/her posting. (ofcourse the quality of treatment is compromised)

More interestingly 'Professor and HOD' doesnt need to even visit the medical college for months ! And he is paid Rs. 1,20,000 per month for being on that post. (notable fact is, Interns are paid Rs. 2550 per month for round the clock duty)

People are earning Rs. 2 lakh and more per month through such a cool setup, and particularly some talented surgeons even more (3 to 4 lakhs). This is the truth and i have all the proofs.

To get such kind of job ,you only need to do MD medicine or MD in any clinical branch, and then Pass the required MPSC/UPSC exam. And here also you will be getting all the social rewards.
People why are you after radiodiagnosis , if such an alternative is available?

P.S.: Nothing personal with anyone ! And i know some exceptions are there, who do their job honestly. This applies to everyone who fits in the story.

This is really appreciable, vngmc yavatmal is leading from the front in the protest against govt. of maharashtra,for increasing the interns stipend.
The movement was initiated & intensified at our very own college. Thanks to Ankush Nawale, Gururaj and all the vngmcians, as well as all the interns across the state.
That was needed since long, but alas, we couldnt do it. 2004 batch had succeeded in raising it by little margin of Rs. 800, the response which was more likely an insult rather than sympathy. But they had no other choice than accepting it.
In a while, they and our college would be featuring in leading newspapers and why not, they deserve it.
Interns all over the state would get benefits from this, including the interns who, buy time (by avoiding postings) to prepare for pg entrance, for them this money would be very useful to buy that precious time. That seems practical enough, even if the same people support INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION, ultimately they have to be practical and thats what is the need of time. Opinions may vary. Generally opinions came from the situation (of the person) and not by person itself , so its not good to measure anyone in terms of right or wrong. People have their own choice, but the bottom line is, since i have gone through the hectic internship in this college (svngmc yavatmal), let me dare to say, No one deserve better than the interns here, to initiate such a movement and to get such a stipend of Rs. 10000+ per month (if it happens)
congratulations Svngmc.
