THE GREAT DOCTOR FROM BIKANER A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR MBBS AND MD STUDENTS Dr. Trilok Kumar Jain Parakh Niwas Sivakamu Veterinary Hospital Road Bikaner 334001 Jain.tk@gmail.com Mobile : 9414430763 There is one profession, which needs applauds the most. There is one profession, where strike or leave is like demonic act. This profession is similar to Godly work. The profession of Doctor remains the noblest profession on the Earth. However, in modern times, there is a dearth of great doctors, who are a source of inspiration for others. Most Doctors work for money. They

would not check a patient, if there is no fees or other financial / monetary consideration. They would not speak anything other than what their profession requires them to speak. There is also a shortage of good NGOs in health care sector. Health care is a challenging sector and we all understand it that government alone cannot do everything. We need people with passion in this sector. We need people who can willingly come forward and provide service in the field of health care. But, how do we get those people, for whom service is the first priority? Ratan Netra Jyoti Sansthan has provided eye transplantation of more than 300 eyes. It has also organized hundreds of medical camps. The person behind this great organization is Dr. Vijay Bothra, a philanthropic person and a

doctor by profession. Dr. Vijay Bothra is always available for any service to the patients. It is for this reason that he has cured thousands of patients in Bikaner and nearby regions. When Dr. Bothra was transferred from Bikaner thousands of people of Bikaner felt betrayed and their prayers didnt go in vain. Ratan Netra Jyoti Sansthan is doing commendable work in Bikaner in the field of health care, eye transplantation and patient counseling. In a city, where giving eyes was considered a taboo, Ratan Netra Jyoti Sansthan has changed the basic tenets and people today willing donate eyes and body parts. Changing accepted social norms and social frabric is not an easy task. It has been possible due to Dr. Vijay Bothras unwavering commitment to medical profession. What Dr. Bothra says is like a final verdict for people.

Dr. Vijay Bothra is a living legend. He is a source of inspiration for every doctor and every student of MBBS & MD. He is a symbol of selfless ervice. He checks the patients free and not only that he even tries to provide medicines to the patients. He is full of devotion to his profession. His voice, his tone and his body language combined gives a great godly presence for the patients. His assurance to the patients itself acts as a medicine. For thousands of people, he is a living god. But the question is why dont we have other such doctors. Why only one doctor Dr. Vijay Bothra. It is difficult to find another such example in modern materialistic world. We make what we visualize. We develop students into certain role models and they in fact follow those role models. Today s students of MBBS & MD need some great role model. Dr.

Vijay Bothra is one such role model for them. I as an academician of behavioural science and management discipline strongly advocate that case study of Dr. Vijay Bothra should be a part of MBBS programme. This will enable better inputs regarding role model and profession. Similarly, case study on Ratan Netra Jyoti Sansthan can be a good input for all courses relating to health care. It can tell people about what NGOs can do in the field of health care.
