Dengue outbreak in Delhi. The Health Minister refuses to call it an epidemic. All the noise is about patients admitted to AIIMS and no one knows how many are dying in the slums after heavy doses of antibiotics and steroids by quacks. Of course the Honble Health Minister is busy banning screening of any smoking scenes in films and destroying the morale of the doctors at the same AIIMS. This is being done in a two pronged attack. First by refusing to pay the salaries of junior doctors who had gone on strike to protest against admission of lower caste students with low marks in admission tests. Who benefits from reservations ? The children of politicians because their millionaire parents have put them through fee paying schools. It is another matter that the real have nots have not received even a primary education and hence do not know what higher education means. So we will have an army of 5% doctors to ill treat the people while the politicians go abroad at our expense to get treated. The man who first started this Mandal abomination went to the UK for treatment of his kidney ailment with his security detail. So while people were dying at the hands of 5% doctors this fellow spent Rs. 800 million of tax payers money being treated by white skinned super brahmins.
The second method is to attack the head of AIIMS who is respected by other doctors. What this is meant to achieve God alone knows but it has certainly destroyed the morale at the country's leading medical institution. The biggest tragedy is that this Health Minister is a doctor. No sharam, no izzat.
