Rediscover being a doctor

“Rediscover being a doctor”

15   to 20 mg cortisol secreted in normal stress of human beings. 150 mg under maximum stress. A study shows Surgeons anaethetist in India exceed this 150 mg frequently in a day...
That is 10 to 15 times more than the Military colonel in battle field. Doctors in Tamil Nadu Government service frequently cross 80mg per day and 150 mg at least twice a month... All of us know the adverse effects of cortisol in our body.

“Doctors die early. National IMA study showed that Indian doctors die 10 year earlier than the normal age and Kerala study showed that they died even 13 years earlier.”

If one doctor die, to make another doctor we need 30 years and have to spend crores of public money, it is people's money. In case a doctor die, his unavailable services during those 30 years many common people may die. Common people are safe only if they exist. 

“Do you know” ?
@ that when treating you of your viral fever your doctor gets exposed to the virus?
@ that when doing surgery your doctor gets cuts and pricks that may transmit disease from patient to doctor?
@ that when your doctor dresses your diabetic foot, they feel nauseated by smell and do not feel like eating for the whole day?
@ that when during a delivery the patient often passes urine and motion that may spills on the doctor?
@ that even though your doctor's own child might be suffering from fever, he has to leave him to others as he has to go and treat others while his own child suffers?
@ that for every delivery case your doctor has to attend at least 10 calls throughout night.. And then be back to work early next day?
@ that when a neurosurgeon operates for 12 hours continuously he loses track of time and forgets to eat or sleep?
@ that a cardiologist is exposed to dangerous levels of radiation in the lab?
@ that the life span of doctors is 10 years less than public average because of stress?

With their level of intelligence they could earn more money if that have been the sole motive, had they chosen other professions.
