We're Mallus and we're like that!

Yet another incident that only us mallus can boast of, for its sheer audacity!

Cherthala is a sleepy hamlet about 35 kms south of Kochi and at the Taluk Hospital there, 22 deliveries were conducted through mass Caesarian sections, by three gynaecologists, before Thursday this week so that they could avail of the long weekend! And the women on whom the surgeries were conducted had their delivery dates originally scheduled for next week!!

The press reports further claim that the mothers, alongwith their newborns, were lying on the floors as the beds were fully occupied!!

Where's the professionalism? How can one's personal requirements override professional ethics and one's duty to the people under one's charge? Words fail me and if you're to ask me their medical degrees should be withdrawn, forthwith!
