Retirement age for doctors in state / central Govt. is 58 / 60 years.
Private medical colleges were allowed to employ doctors till 65 years.
Sometime back it was changed to 70 years( wonder whether senility / dementia don't touch them and also why the Govt. retires most of its employees at 58 years.
Pretty sure it will become employed till death soon
Worried if it will become employed even after death!!
Note: their employment basically is for their degree certificates and previous service which help (mis)managements to register their names as teachers and mint crores in capitation from the prospective buyers (sorry, students). The employment is definitely not for their knowledge or skills (am seeing living examples)!
Whereas the same teachers are relieved from the Govt service at 58 years and the Govt cries of insufficient faculty and fails to add more seats, thereby depriving deserving students who can’t afford a bomb for their post graduation.
And the retirees often quote their interest in teaching students as the reason for joining the private colleges after retirement. Sadly the same “interested” teachers won’t continue teaching in the Govt. hospitals or work in places where they are paid at par with the Govt. service!!
The MCI, Govts., private institutions and the greedy doctors connive and have created a situation where lots of hopeful students are being advised to “buy” a seat rather than waste their time in preparing for Government seats.
Ten years down the line I will lose the pride of mentioning that I am a doctor, similar to the state, a lot of advocates are in today!!

crore seats
I have been wondering for a long time, about people doling out obscene money to buy the radio diagnosis and orthopedic seats in the private medical colleges. What has been more bewildering is the fact that quite a few of tem do not have a hospital or the choice of inheriting their parent’s practice. Are they doing it without realizing the fact that the radiology business does not provide a good return on investment as they would like? I think not. I don’t think it’s possible for people who have earned that much money, to just throw it away without thinking.
What I presume is that, a few of them join courses with the same attitude, people have towards material things. What comes to my mind immediately are the cars (especially with the ever mushrooming new posh show rooms of the luxury cars). Say for example, a guy with a crore or money for buying a new car would most probably buy a luxury car from the Bavarian land rather than cheaper Indian/ Japanese / Korean ones. I think some of them apply the same logic to the academics- have it, flaunt it. I don’t think the same people would pay that money to take radiology, once it loses its glamour and the supposed halo.

Plaster mouth
'Plaster mouth' is the name I have probably acquired in my line of work, for upholding the law of the land. My line of work being, diagnostic radiology and the law I upheld, being the PNDT (The Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act. I quite deserved that name, as I am yet to reveal the sex of a child antenatally, after practicing for close to 7 years (PG period included). The latest people with grouse against me are none other than my sister and mom and it is them who have called me that. She is a couple of weeks from her EDD and I am yet to reveal the sex of her kid, in spite of all kinds of threats from her. I think I would continue to hold on the info from her
Funny inquiries and encounters keep coming during day to day practice, especially from the moms of the pregnant ladies or from the ladies themselves. Most common being the pair of six decade old eyes trying to squeeze out any kind of picture from the ultrasound monitors, breathing behind your neck( literally); I , for one being a person, who hates being watched/ monitored or whatever. On most occasions, I have tried to be polite and as them what they were doing, only for them to tell me worriedly that they are not able to identify anything (I always wonder, if they expected the photographs of babies to come out!
A lot of inquiries come with a sheepish smile, regarding the sex of the baby.
And most of them, without fail say that they only want a female baby (which I most of the time, presume, is not true)
Another funny inquiry was when the pregnant lady asked me, if it was a "paappa". I hid my smile while scanning and then told her everyone has a paappa inside, she told me that she meant a baby girl ; I had to ask her what she would call a baby boy- she nonchalantly told it would be a thumb. She pleaded to know that if it was a paappa , so that she could get all the scolding from her mom in law, sooner than later( as she already has a "paapa". She was one lady, whom I wished I could answer her query; still I made sure I didn't break the law.
The irony of all this being the fact that, I am not in favor of the law in individual (non professional) capacity. When the couple have the right to decide to have a child, plan the time for a child, to know whether the baby is normal and responsibility to take care of the child both inside and outside the womb, I wonder why the hell , they are not entitled to know the sex of the baby. I am sure not everyone is going to go to a doctor, asking for an abortion. I have always thought that, if someone is not willing to have a female child, it's because they cannot afford to bring them up properly. And moreover, the reluctance, that is associated with bringing up a female kid, is that financial burden associated with the matrimony. The government instead of trying to slay the demon that dowry is, instead is trying to tackle the problem, with small steps, which don't exactly render a solution.
Bringing up of male and female kids cost the same; it’s only the marriage part that lets everyone see, girls as a liability. If government or the people themselves address that issue, there is no difference between a male and a female child. Hence it would matter little, if it's a girl / boy and the need for prohibition of prenatal sex determination will entirely go. But alas there will be a group of sonologists, who would be dead against this; as I hear they make a killing (pun intended), revealing the sex of the child. And also radiologists like me need not have to be "plaster mouths"
