🎯 Why hospital administrators treat you like disposable labour?

Young surgeons collapse after 36-hour shifts for ₹60K while seniors leave at 4 PM for golf earning ₹15 lakhs. Same hospital. Same patients. Welcome to healthcare's dirty @#$%! system where your desperation subsidises their comfort.

You know what makes my blood boil at 2 AM?

Watching a 28-year-old surgeon collapse after her 36th consecutive hour while the 65-year-old HOD leaves at 4 PM sharp for his golf game.

Same hospital. Same department. Same patients needing care.

One gets ₹60,000 monthly for running the entire emergency wing. The other gets ₹20 lakhs for showing up twice a week.

Welcome to healthcare's dirty @#$%! system.

I've spent 25 years watching this sick theatre play out. Young surgeons treated like medical slaves while seniors are worshipped like demigods. And I'm done pretending it's about "respect for experience."

It's about exploitation disguised as hierarchy.

The Disposable Labour Playbook

Hospital administrators have perfected this art. Here's their formula:

Young surgeon arrives. Fresh PG. Desperate for "experience." They dangle a ₹60,000 position like it's a favour. "You're lucky to operate here."

Meanwhile, that same young surgeon:

  • Handles 80% of emergency cases
  • Covers all night duties
  • Manages ICU disasters at 3 AM
  • Takes blame for complications
  • Gets zero credit for saves

The senior? Shows up for scheduled surgeries. Leaves by 5 PM. Takes home 25x the salary.

But here's where it gets truly vicious.
