In conversation with an honest city doctor, recently transferred here from New Delhi:<\/p>\n
“Bangalore is only good for engineers. This is not the place for doctors at all. Where I came from (Delhi), there are serious illnesses like Dengue, Cholera, Tuberculosis and so many others. Here, there’s only a little bit of Arthritis, that’s all. Nothing really good to help us doctors – I suppose its all to do with the wonderfully comfortable weather here.”<\/p>\n [Note that sufficient liberty has been taken to alter the above quote by way of filling in missing articles and prepositions. Upon request, a raw version of this quote can be provided for purists] The views expressed here do not necessarily mean that the medical fraternity and standards in Bangalore is in a deplorable state right now. Bangalore, and southern India in general are still prominent on the cure-map for the most of the country. So we’re not there yet.<\/p>\n But, the next time you feel healthy about yourself, remember to spare a thought because you could be unknowingly contributing to the city’s doctor-drain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In conversation with an honest city doctor, recently transferred here from New Delhi: “Bangalore is only good for engineers.

This statement finally explained to me why I’ve been subjected to gradually declining medical standards in Bangalore. In spite of the lure of big-spending, non-bill-verifying, couldn’t-care-less-because-my-company-pays IT professionals in the city, we’re losing all our doctors to the competition!<\/span><\/p>\n
