Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi, father of my country, India, made these observations in year 1925 about the fundamental constituents of violence in society. These words of monumental wisdom came when he was addressing young Indians in a country-side rally.
Note, his finger points to, what exactly is relevant to our profession. He emphasized this nearly 100 years ago, when medical science was at its infancy. One can only guess what would be Mahatma’s comment about our profession in it’s current form.
Should we include moral, behavioral and ethical classes right from the first year of medical school along with anatomy, physiology and bio chemistry. Medical council of India obviously need to burn more mid night oil, I wish it happens in my life time.
