Due to a horrendously long writer's block and thanks to the pain-in-the-@$$ surgery posting, I am now re-posting an old post of mine, one that I wrote when I was in a similar mood with new additions of this posting's experiences.

The column "Interests" on my blogger profile lists- music, books and surgery.

I should also say this profile was updated before I started my Surgery postings in college!

My interest in surgery still remains. It is the surgeons I detest!

And to get back at that group of surgeons I hate, here is the following.

Surgeons as a rule are a big bunch of MCPs. Of course, as for every rule there are exceptions. This post does not apply to those few.

#1 Women cannot become surgeons.

Ha! Get over your ego you old fool!

Well, women are as good as men if not better. Not many Indian women take up surgery because of their family issues and all that bunch of crap. That doesn't mean those few surgeons are incompetent.

It takes more guts for a woman to become a surgeon in a man's world!(I am talking mostly about the situation in India)

I vow to get right back at them by becoming one. This one here, relishes a challenge!

#2 You can crack all sortsa jokes on your female students.
Seriously! Who gave you the right to?!
Its sad that we can't say a thing to their face. Just because our Final Year results lay in their hands we have to put up with their snide remarks and sexist jokes!
While the boys keep sniggering at the back at their tasteless tirade, us girls have to suffer all that! Well, let me tell you this! We are so much better at answering questions during grill-time.

"How can you tell me that this patient was unco-operative? You are girls! He would be more than co-operative!" Spoken by the HOD of Surgery when we told him that this patient with hydrocele was refusing to show us his private parts.

"Aap unko bhi bataayiye. Ye bacche seekhna chaahthe hain. Aakhir aap ko bhi wahi hai jho inke paas hai." Said another Surgeon to a lady with a breast lump.
(Translated= Please show these students, they want to learn. After all you have the same "parts" that these girls do.)

#3 All females under your supervision are subject to your leching.
This does not even deserve a remark from me!
It just plain disgusts me! I mean we are subjected to this one too just because we care enough to learn something and pass!

This is just a post to show how awful surgeons really are.(Atleast in my college, my so-called professors fall under this category.)
And as of this day, I have very little respect for this particular division of human beings!
