Hey there, this is Vithya, a Pre Final Year Medical Student from GSMC, Writer and Medical Ethics Podcaster.

Used to be a part of MedBound as an Medical Journalism Intern post NEET, then life has happened, days have passed.

But,finally I’ve gathered energy to come back to the hub, network, connect, teach and learn (w.r.t the motto of MedBound, each one; teach one), curate, and ask deeper questions.

And if you are seeing this message, Hi, it’s probably the first time we have crossed the paths. But in medicine, we are in the same game, running on high caffeine and calling the stress, the bonus of the curriculum.

One of the main reasons I wanna catch up with our fraternity, is to ask, are we really good? In terms of heavy loaded tasks, and short breaks, abrupt violence against us, and sudden public bash, are we really okay?

I would love to hear all of your insights, right from systems to policies, violence to vigilance. Together let’s question, think and learn. Because Ethics is for all, and our own systems are sometimes against us.

Let’s talk about our ethics, people’s ethics. What is right and what is wrong.

Let’s stay in touch,

Regards,

Vithya Manoharan :blush:

Welcome back to Medbound hub Vithya Mam. Rightly said by you that often we healthcare professionals forget about our own health and needs. We often ignore our personal issues and problems. I believe there should be proper balance between our work life and personal life as well. To achieve this kind of freedom in healthcare field is very tough but we should try atleast.

Dear Vithya,

It is truly refreshing to see someone raising such essential questions, posed with genuineness, coated with introspection. This thought gives voice to many silent feelings from our field, which are but rarely voiced.
You’re absolutely right; the system often stretches us so hard that at times, the respect and safety we deserve are taken for granted. Yet I would like to look upon the brighter side, too. Evolving discussions on all these problems we face, as this conversation which you initiated, stronger advocacy for work-life balance and mental health of doctors and younger voices like yours who dare to question the status quo with compassion are all lights at the end of the tunnel. Things may not look all rosy, but neither are they black either. Let us walk this path with positivity while the profession evolves, reflects, and let lots of humane conversations like this happen more often. Let’s keep that spirit alive!

Cases of violence happening in hospitals everyday are very concerning and something that not only as healthcare worker but also as a nation we should be worried about. In a broader aspect, we can easily state healthcare workers problems and demands have been widely ignored and their efforts are under appreciated, yet so many of us wake up everyday with hope and empathy for our patients and our system. It would be nice to see changes happening in law system with more protection for the healthcare workers while emphasising on safe medical practice.

Welcome back Vithya ma’am.
This is such an important discussion to open. Many of us push through the workload, scrutiny, and emotional toll without ever asking ourselves if we’re truly okay. As a fraternity, we need safe spaces to reflect on our system, ethics, and the challenges we face. I’m glad you initiated this — it’s time we spoke honestly about what needs to change.

Hi Vithya! Welcome back to the hub :slightly_smiling_face:

The matter raised by you is indeed a much needed aspect that requires attention of one and all- individuals, organizations, policy-makers, and the society. A centralized system with multiple fields/ departments is the need of hour to address such things, from a wider & higher platform straight to the ground level.
