TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE - by Maham Tariq (RMC)
TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE!
(ARTICLE BY: Maham Tariq, 4th year MBBS, Rawalpindi Medical College)
…and this is unlike anything u might b expecting under this heading.
I was in 10th grade when I went to collect my roll no slip from school and my teacher said to me “beta jo student apkay peechay bethaygi board k exams may us say puch lijiayga, usay kuch na ata ho tau bta dijiayga”. Incidentally, this teacher used to teach as Islamiat.
Time...Well...it flies. Here I am now, Alhamdulilah, in the 4rth yr of my medical school. And things haven’t changed one bit. Our professors remind us every day that we since we would b dealing with human lives therefore we better study exceptionally hard and make sure that no one pays the price of our carelessness with their life.

Why are substandard medical universities being approved?- Hippocratic Hypocrisy
The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has accused the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) of violating the laws and principles of merit, hence, compromising the state of medical education in Pakistan.
The association alleged that many medical universities in Pakistan recognised by PMDC should not be recognised at all because they didn't meet the necessary requirements.
"The recognition of Colleges like Rehbar Medical College, Red Crescent Medical College, Hashmat Medical College and others is against the rules and regulations prescribed by the PMDC itself." said the General Secretary of PMA, Dr. Mirza Azhar Ali, at a news conference at PMA House.

Confessions of Pakistani doctors
We all grew up hearing the importance of medicine sciences and most of us were encouraged to adopt it as a profession. We were told that serving humanity, saving lives and helping people in distress is an essential component of developed societies, which is truly noble and fulfilling in their own way.

However, the situation has changed drastically over a period of time. The plight of Pakistani doctors reverberates across the globe and remains an open question mark to our ‘political leaderships’ and law enforcing agencies. It is not just the security of these professionals which is at stake in our
