Alas!! Finally the strike by a group of disgruntled resident doctors of Sassoon General Hospital in Pune, has come to an end with victory for the Dean Dr. Arun Jamkar and disgrace for the group, with even their own Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors main body supporting the Dean.
CONGRATS Dr. Jamkar, but then this victory would not have been achieved without the support of the Secretary of Medical Education Department Mr. Bhushan Gagrani, the Directorate of Medical Education (DMER) the local politicians in Pune, the Head of Departments of Surgery and Chest and TB, Dr. Sanjiv Thakur and Dr. Ghorpade and above all the most from the support of the people of Pune and the Class III and IV employees Association of the hospital.
It's shame on part of this group of disgruntled resident doctors to have held hostage the 300 other resident doctors of the hospital who did not want to participate in the strike as they rightly felt that there was no issue at all to go on strike. It was also shame that poor patients were also held hostage as they were deprived treatment. The lady resident doctor who is alleged to have made attempt to commit suicide had not reason whatsoever to do so. Why did she made all this drama? Who instigated her to enact these scene? And did she really gulp down the pioson at all? Whispers in the corridor say that she just sprayed the HIT mosquito on her clothes and did not gulp down any pioson. If this whispers is correct, then the most severe action should be taken against her including cancelling her registration.
The DMER should also take drastic action against the disgruntled group of resident doctors that called for the strike. The call of the day is that they deserve no sympathy or leinency but that the DMER should suspend them for a year and even ask them to vacate the hostel. They deserve this punishment, and the Dean should initiate this action without delay. Discipline has to be maintained at all costs. These doctors had turned into goons, and tarnished the noble profession.
To Dr. Jamkar, the people of Pune would defintely like to convey that he has to uphold the prestige of the hospital and BJ Medical College. He has a duty to instil discipline in all sections, and that is the task of a good administrator.
Sir, if there is today bouquets for your good work, but then also be prepared for the brickbats if you fail in your duties and performance. You have to like bureaucrats must know to adopt the carrot and stick policy. Good and upright administrators do not buckle under any kind of pressure or have any fear. You must learn to dispense with justice and not get carried away by hearsay or disinformation or misleading guidance by your subordinates, but use your skills and brain to battle any storm.
And then you have to get rid of the insubordination by the Deputy Superintedent and the alleged corruption that prevails in his office and boot out the large number of agents that throng his office and employees that hang around. And with you being the authority there, what prevents you from making changes in the peons that loom around there, particularly the peon of the Deputy Superintendent one Balu, who is the mastermind behind corruption that takes place there?
Certainly, the hospital does not require a non-performing Deputy Medical Superintendent, who is good for nothing and unable to discharge his duties and job for which he is there. Why prevents or holds you back from recommending to send him back to his parent department and seeking a more performing official? Now or never, is the final message Dr. Jamkar. You will always find support for your good work and streamlining the disorder that has been taking place in the hospital for years,
All the best to you Dr. Arun Jamkar, You have this time proved that nothing is the end of the world if determined and one has a will.
Jai Maharashtra, Jai Hind
