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.

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.

However, the situation has changed drastically over a period of time.
