Everyone will respect you when you get into a med college be it your neighbour or your old crush, except your seniors, batchmates and your teachers.The word ‘doctor' is from a Latin word which has same spelling and meaning. Most medical terms are also in Latin and Greek.In India, everyone from a politician to a small businessmam address doctors as ‘Doctor Sahab' which means doctor sir giving the doctors the upmost respect.People think doctors are very serious but in reality, they are not. They just have to maintain that image in front of their patients so the patient understands that the doctor is consulting him in all seriousness.All doctors watch House MD. The one's who don't start watching it when they are told by other doctors.In Med college, everyone goes through ragging. That's just to make a budding doctor understand about how he/she will have to face situations when a patient or an attendant creates chaos at his hospital or clinic.A doctor gets in a habit of staying up late and waking up early from his/her college days where he/she stays up late studying and wakes up early to attend 8am lectures.An important rule among fellow doctors - No consultation fee charged among two fellow doctors and their families.Most doctors believe more in scientific stuff rather than imaginary or unnatural stuff. Ex. Many doctors I have met don't believe in God and miracles but stand for puja and all because of family pressure.This is a myth that doctors or med students only study and are not good at anything else. We do possess some talents like one can be a good singer, good in sports, a writer or can play instruments and be a doctor. :)Not related to all doctors.It's just my experience. :)
