Renuka,

The culture in the hospital is the same here too. Junior doctors seldom change consultants orders. When I was working in the surgical ward. I had a lady who just swooned and fell regularly soon after morning meds. She was on anti-hypertensive 20 mg and beta blockers 50 mg. i protested she was on too much meds in the mane and too little in the evening. After 3 days observation, they moved the anti-hypertensive to nocte; but I was suggesting anti-hypertensive 10 mg BD. At last I got annoyed and refused to administer the meds and paged the doctor to see the effect for himself; then only they changed the medication to twice a day. I know, it would be quite frustrating.

You are right. I learned a lot from other people. From my age of 12 I started hanging out with 'rough kids'. Most of my self confidence came from there. ( Most of these rough kids went to Bombay to work in the mills. When they saved enough money, came back to the village and started business. Sometimes I regret I didn't go with them to Bombay... to my credit, I even had a trade!).

Cheers1
