The current practice where newly inducted doctors called house officers with no experience whatsoever are left to experiment with (attend to) serious medical cases while residents, specialists and consultants are away must be put to a stop immediately. There must be at least one specialist present 24 hours in three shift rotations to supervise them. Our health system as it is presently is not the best. The situation in the countryside and rural communities is even worse.
Do not doubt the wisdom in these words.

WHAT HAS YOU ARTICLE GOT TO DO WITH PIG FARMING. EVEN YOUR FACTS ARE WRONG. IN THE US DOCTOR OF MEDICINE (MD) DEGREES DO NOT DO ANY RESEARCH PROJECTS UNLESS THEY ARE ALSO PHD CANDIDATES. EVEN WITH THAT THOS WITH MDs SPEND FOUR YEARS AND THOSE WITH MD-PHDs SPEND SEVEN YEARS IN ADDITION TO THEIR RESIDENCY PROGRAMS. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAVE AN MD DEGREE FROM THE US. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN THE US WITH NEW DOCTORS (INTERNS AND RESIDENTS) TREATING PATIENTS WITH THE SUPERVISION OF ATTENDING PHYSICIANS. HERE AGAIN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FACTS AND JUST WANT TO SHOW YOUR IGNORANCE.
