(Lanka-e-News -16.Dec.2016, 11.00PM) This a story revolving around the brainwashing by ‘Padeniyas’ and the weakness of the administration .It is a pity that the students of all the medical faculties in Sri Lanka fall prey to the Doctor Mafia of Padeniyas from the beginning of their medical studies .
To the medical students he is ‘Padeniya Sir.’ Though they address him as sir, many of these students do not know to say what syllabus he teaches and follows . During the GMOA elections , the students do all the sordid biddings of Padeniyas from publishing posters , releasing videos of Padeniyas in the face book to counting of the votes. This is because the ‘disciples’ are brainwashed systematically and insidiously by the Padeniyas.
At the end of the medical course of every medical student he /she has to undergo an internship. This is the most difficult period of the lives of these students which consumes their whole time even without a weekend vacation or a holiday .18 hours of the day they have to remain in the wards , and every other day they have to spend their night in the ward. This is a period when the students have to face all the trials including getting scolded from senior doctors, enduring nurses’ indifference etc. In fact this period of suffering is almost life in hell to these students.
The lodging facilities , food , transport and even basic security of these doctors who are appointed as interns are neglected by the hospital administration . It is the fairer sex among the interns who face the greatest hardships. They are denied even the basic labor law rights . Yet these are lapses which have been ignored by self seeking selfish Padeniyas over a long period and not over a period of a day or two.
In the wards , often it is just a single male or female intern (doctor) who does the ward rounds in the night. The other ‘big’ doctors and registrars do not even visit, and a novice who has no experience has to shoulder the entire responsibility in respect of the patients. Even what duties a registrar has to discharge in those wards are all looked after by the intern or novice alias H.O.
Very often we have heard of patients dying when their illness takes a turn for the worse because of the inept medical treatment given by inexperienced H.Os. It is an open secret among doctors that during the early internship of the doctors , that is every year ,in November , December and January , the death rate of patients in hospitals is on the increase .The main reason for this is the medical treatment given by inexperienced doctors. Though this does not apply to all hospitals , it is because the administration and management of the patients is not adequate . This lapse directly puts in peril the lives of the patients.
The Padeniyas who parade as heroes promoting trade union rights are deaf and blind to all these lapses like newly born kittens . Padeniyas after fastening all these responsibilities on the new doctors , wash their hands of those tasks so much so they are not only deaf and blind but also heartless. Some doctors who cannot adjust themselves to face these acute sufferings have even contemplated suicide , while the ignoble Padeniyas are behaving like brutes and beasts but professing to be practitioners of the noble profession. This deplorable situation in hospitals with reports of patients dying due to medical misadventures is now a matter of routine for the doctors. For three days prior to the appointment of interns , what the heartless Padeniyas do is deliver ‘ sermons’ to the interns while unendingly insisting that ‘ you too must suffer the tribulations we faced.’ This is their warped mentality. No wonder the new doctors owing to the uncivilized conduct and heartless nature of Padeniyas , decide to leave the country having got disgusted of government hospitals.
This is a most pathetic situation of which the sole architect are the Padeniyas.
The Padeniyas who belong to a most noble profession should be ashamed to demand perks and privileges from the government while at the same time placing the lives of innocent patients in jeopardy , when it is their paramount duty to take measures to rectify the weaknesses and faults of the senior doctors who are members of Padeniya’s association .
The Padeniyas must accept the blame fully for making the profession in which doctors who were treated like deities to degenerate to this level . The doctors who were most respected and revered are now incurring the wrath of the people.
We therefore urge every senior doctor of Padeniya’s association, if they are truly acting in the best interests of their ‘disciples’ to cast aside their political agendas which are courting disaster , and get to the virtuous track as honest dedicated doctors and set an example .
