Here’s a highlight of the Chief guest Dr Raghu Ram’s address:
In India, doctors are equated with Gods. In Hindu Mythology, it is Lord Dhanvantari
Patients confide their secrets more than they would share with their dear ones. Hence, as per the Hippocratic oath, maintain confidentiality. Never underestimate the trust patients have in you.
When treating patients, doing good must have the highest priority. He highlighted that the entire practice of medicine revolves around one fundamental principle called ethics. No matter how good, great, intelligent, skilled, talented, knowledgeable or rich, you may be, at the end of the day, if you are not ethical in your approach to life, it means you have achieved nothing.
Medical practice has become a rat race. As long as you are ethical, the race is only for the rats.
A Doctor takes away the pain and sufferings of others by treating them. As a consequence, YOU are a continuous source of happiness for many people and their families. When you give happiness to others, you are the happiest person of the moment. Chasing the dream of becoming a doctor, is not just the pursuit of a great career, but a pursuit of happiness too.
Consider patient as a human being with feelings and emotions and Not as a subject with an ailment. Most doctors are bad at giving information. This is presumably because they get no training as students in this important aspect of clinical practice. This deficiency should be corrected and competence tested before qualification to practise.
It is a distinct art to talk medicine in the language of the non-medical man.
Listening is, in fact, more important than talking. In giving patients time, and in listening to them, doctors will find some of the real rewards of medicine.
Good Listening = Good Diagnostic Weapon
Take up a Charitable initiative, give back to the community in more ways than one. Success will be out of reach if the focus is on the competition.
In Medicine, being successful means, you are a kind, compassionate and a caring doctor.
Graduates, remember that your parents were there for you when you needed them the most. Be there for them when they need you the Most
Most importantly..
Never forget your Mother…
Never forget your Motherland…
Never forget the place you were born & raised…
Never forget your Mother Tongue
