Re: Can an MBBS doctor do surgery?

[Guest guest]

If a doctor M.B,B.S. who has been working along with a surgeon for a couple of years as an assistant surgeon has good enough experience about pre & post-operative management of a surgical patient & of course developed adequate surgical skills, then why oppose him/her to do surgeries especially in emergency life-saving procedures? After all if one with M.S. degree-- if has no experience -- then only degree cannot make him/her do skillful surgery due to lack of experience. This has been seen now-a days due to inadequate surgical hands-on training in freshers, M.S. & /or D.N.B. As a senior surgeon I am seeing this often

among juniors. This needs to be noted .

Yes I agree that those who have the experience and have competence should work.

In rural/tribal areas MBBS also is a big degree!

topic which currently is " Medical Writing " , till it is closed (which may not be

have seen doctors from C.M.C.  Vellore who are trained in rural hospitals after

M.B.B.S. know how to perform L.S.C.S., how to give spinal anesthesia very

well.  Today in the Era of selling & purchasing degrees, we must teach the

masses that ultimately EXPERIENCE is the greatest teacher . Patients must judge

the knowledge of the doctor & then decide what to do. For rural set-ups all

important life-saving procedure by doing surgery must be taught to medicos, so

that many lives are saved.
