We doctors work 24×7 without any limit of work hours, we are forced to sleep on floor, pathetic hostels and miserable living conditions, sometimes we don’t get food to eat not even proper drinking water, we are forced to work on small amount of pay compared to the work we do as added by Dr.Harijit.
The main motive of the vigil is to create awareness among common people and connecting a link between doctor and patients. If people will not understand sacrifices of doctors then no one will dare to join this profession.
