OK. so here is a LOT of generalising. just only it happened to a fraction of people you know , including your cousin who didnt quit it by choice but due to her husband’s pressure, doesnt mean that every girl acquires medicine degree for this purpose or parents want to send their daughters to a medical school to get a good rishta. I dont know why do people have to relate getting rishtas to the factors that donot apply on them ? there are a lot of other factors for doctors that are not practicing after marriage.
about not practicing: how do you define practicing? doing a hospital job and ‘helping’ patients? I am also against being called a DOCTOR with one’s name (even for the practicing ones since no other profession has the label attached to the name like they do to the doctors but that is just for a recognition that there is a doctor amongst the community so that people know to contact him/her in need of time. There must be people who use it for show maaring and there are more people who think they use for show maaring but again you cant generalise it. I am sure that shaista or any non practicing doctor can still be helpful to anyone in time of need more than a layman since the learning never goes wasted !
you need to know the details about the health system and its situation here in pakistan before assuming that the health care crisis is because dr shaista and people(girls) like her chose not to practice or switch fields or places instead. The health institutes and hospitals are not running low on doctors because there is a shortage of doctors out there; it is because there are very limited paid seats as compared to the doctors working at govt hospitals and 60% of them are completing their residencies as ‘honorary’/unpaid trainees, not to mention that the paid ones get less than 20K a month for heavy duty hours, and that too after a lot of effort to the health ministry and offices to aquirs their payslips every month ! And if you think that people go into this field to HELP others, then can you please suggest a way for them to make their living by other means ? they have a family to run and they need to be paid appropriately for the effort they put in. THIS makes doctors opt to leave pakistan for their careers.
Anyways I think this is more of a matetr of personal dislike. If you dont like someone generally, you can point out 10000 thing that he/she is doing wrong and vice versa. you dont like her looks, hair colour, her voice and you think she is copying nadia khan, so you can find and make up other point that YOU THINK are bad about her. You can express your views ofcourse but please dont generalise and apply everythingyou think about her to every non practicing doctor in pakistan , and that too when you have the least idea about the system here.
peace !
