Re: why doctors want doctors…
That’s exactly what’s the perception back in pakistan i.e. if you want to nab good rishtas become a doctor. From my MBBS class 80% of the girls are not practicing because they got married either in their last year of MBBS or during house job. The thing which personally irritates me, is that the class had 80% girls to begin with.
In pakistan girls aren’t much into outdoor activities like boys. So they spend most of their energies in studying or cramming especially for pre-med field which results in them getting higher marks. Because of that majority of the girls get in medical colleges on merit. Quite interestingly even if a girl becomes a practicing doctor her family or in-laws will never be sending her to the remote villages or areas which are in dire need of doctors.
Their should be some bond or some condition that every one has to do some years of practice in the remote areas to be qualified as a doctor in countries like pakistan where govt is spending a hell lot of money to make such doctors who left the country the instance they get their degrees.
what a sexist statement to make…
girls should be allowed to study whatever they want…and its upto their own free will what they want to do afterwards…its this same mentality that is keeping our desi women from achieving their maximum potential.
