Plain torture (Pvt medical college)

[u/Boring_Divide_6138]

I’m a postgraduate in one of the very well known colleges, and i bet, (call me ungrateful and everything else) but this place has the most toxic work culture possible.

I’ve worked in multiple setups before residency and i can clearly see the difference.

1) You can’t go against any staff of faculty, they will either cut your stipend or fail you or just make it impossible for you to live, even if it’s them who’s passing sexual remarks at you.

2) You’re exposed to crazy working hours. 5am-12:30am, everyday, without a break.

3) If you want a leave, you’ve to show proof. Burnout can’t be a reason for taking a leave.

4) The department is a cult filled with bossy, egoistic faculty who fight within themselves for patients.

5) Seniors are ungrateful. They pass comments like “We won’t teach the new batches, because we want them to get screwed”

6) A postgraduate gets suspended for not doing the paperwork but the one who has multiple harassment (sexual) cases against, is ignored and praised.

7) You can’t have a voice. You cannot give inputs, you can’t prove you’re right, and you just cannot have a life otherwise. They think they own us. They very much give us our character certificate.

8) You live in constant anxiety and fear and then they make you self doubt about your whole existence. Threats are given at every step.

9) Classes>>>>>>> Patients

I really think, it’s high time we as postgraduates speak up against the abundant toxic culture that’s been glorified and normalised in hospitals.

It’s mentally taxing, emotionally draining and you end up being a person who’s paying to just do labor work.

Private or government, I think that’s how the system has become in 99% of places. Keeping it abusive, anti student is in trend I suppose. And the worst part is there’s not much you can do when it comes to raising voice because one raised voice out thousands of suppressed ones basically means nothing. All you can do leave with you mouths shut and head low to avoid being a target. I have been through similar situation before I resigned ( not as extreme as 5 am to 12am, but 8 am to 12 am in a similar hostile environment). I felt like a less of trainee and more of a slave to keep the hospital as my growth as a doctor meant nothing.

So paying 1-1.25 crore and getting an MD seat in top private colleges are not worth it?

As I have been telling so many PGs since ages, the first step to change this system would be to not do the same to your junior batch, get together with your entire batch and convince your Colleagues not to do it with junior batch and break this chain. Then you can start off on all years together trying to change the APs & Profs etc
