    http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/004200606120363.htm[^] Kozhikode, June 12 (UNI): Doctors at the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital here on Sunday removed a five-and-a-half inch-long scissors from a 65-year-old patient's stomach. After an x-ray, doctors removed the scissors from Akkooppoyil Achuthan's (65) stomach following an emergency surgery, hospital sources said. The patient's relatives said a six-kg tumour was removed from his stomach in an operation at the hospital on April 2, 2005. The doctor who performed the operation might have inadvertently forgotten to remove the scissors after the procedure, they said. Achuthan had been frequenting the hospital due to acute pain since then, relatives added.

          A funny thought: Imagine the guy with scissors in his stomach is going to another country and on airport the metal detector detects something :)

                Well, some of those bugs, most notably on chemotherapy machines a few years ago, have killed people because the operator entered a sequence of commands that inadvertently (read "bug") caused the patients to receive maximum dosages.

                    This has no connection with reservation! What are you talking about? :confused: Or, are you suggesting that such a bad doctor has to be one from a supposedly lower caste religion? If so, that's racist! Extremely so! Regards, Nish

                        if society started churning out doctors without considering the merit, more than this will happen. A doctor has to be an intelligent perosn where reservation system doesnt work for it. He would have intended to say that.

                          Okay, then we also have to shut down 80% of India's medical schools - they are all capitation fee based and only people who can afford the high fees can go there. It's not merit-based. That'd result in a severe shortage of doctors. I don't know if the country is ready for that. Regards, Nish

                            The logic here is: If a father is willing to pay a sum near 25 lakhs as capitation fee for a medical seat ,he would also able to understand whether his child can really pass the exams and become a doctor. If the boy is a real fool then normally parents would not waste that much money. And in many cases they would have their own hospital too where the will squeeze the patients for the money

                              Actually, in many such medical schools, the kids are given pass grades (since they've paid such high amounts).

                              And that is even worse. Stuff like this is worse than reservation. With reservation, while they get a medical seat, eventually they have to pass the same exams meritoriously - they are not given free pass grades. Regards, Nish

                                If becoming a good doctor is all about passing the medical exams [and by the way, what is the mimum pass mark - 45%?], how easy things would be. Have you seen the kind of kids that go to Karanataka based medical colleges by paying lakhs as capitation fee? - Smitha

                                  OK....Ok... agreed but:^) A father (unless his brian is made of clay) would not pay these much money for his below average son who can never become a good doctor. But a 10th just pass SC student can get admission in a medical college and even if he passes the 5 year degree with 10 years ,he will get job in the government medical college. and more people will come out of the hospital with scissors in their stomach (a bit cruel.I know)

If the boy is a real fool then normally parents would not waste that much money.

                                    Actually, in many such medical schools, the kids are given pass grades (since they've paid such high amounts).

                                    And that is even worse. Stuff like this is worse than reservation. With reservation, while they get a medical seat, eventually they have to pass the same exams meritoriously - they are not given free pass grades. Regards, Nish

                                        OK....Ok... agreed but:^) A father (unless his brian is made of clay) would not pay these much money for his below average son who can never become a good doctor. But a 10th just pass SC student can get admission in a medical college and even if he passes the 5 year degree with 10 years ,he will get job in the government medical college. and more people will come out of the hospital with scissors in their stomach (a bit cruel.I know)

                                        Are you 100% sure that the doc who did this was a reservation candidate? Doesn't your unfair classification only reflect your racist attitude? In Gujarat, there was an incident once where a missionary was burned to death inside his car [along with his toddler son]. When you visit a foreign country, suppose someone looks at your face and tells you "Aren't you the kind of people who'd burn people and kids?", will you be okay with it? So even if that doc is a rservation candidate, no one has the right to criticise his community. There are hundred of docs who are drunkards or careless otherwise - who were meritorious students. We hear about lots of errors happening in our government hospitals and not all of it are done by lower caste doctors. Most of our plotical leaders take huge bribes, most of them, as a matter of fact, are from upper class communities - does that mean upper caste people are looters? Should we ban upper catse politicians and elect lower caste leaders so our nation can wipe out bribery?

                                        Your mother prolly would spent INR 25000 a year [for example] without worries to buy gold jewellery, while your next door neighbour might be struggling to pay his kid's school tuition [which might be half the amount your mother spends].
