News that worry us!



The first news item is alarming because of the stress level that women experience! I have a suspicion that men contribute to this to some extent! If only men can be more thoughtful at home, work place and public places, women would feel lot more comfortable. 

The second is a terrible news, much against the norms we would have expected in higher education. Just because few text books are translated in to Hindi, how can we convert the medical education to be offered in vernacular medium! In china, Russia and some European countries where the medium of instruction is not English, a parallel system of library of books, journals, and resources exist in the local languages. With none of that in existence we tend to be in a hurry to dislodge a working system of medical education all on a sudden. How I wish that the standard of study of health science is at an international level,  as much as possible because we need to have the highest standard of education to equip students to be competent practitioners. 

I closed the week sorrowfully because  that we live in a society that does not care enough to be thoughtful and humane!
