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.
