MEDICO'S DEATH

THIS ARTICLE I SHOULD HAVE PUBLISHED BEFORE BUT SINCE I AM NOT AN HOSTELITE I DON'T KNOW THE FACILITIES THEY ARE GETTING....... KARTHIK. D [ i don't know him personally] HAS WRITTEN A ARTICLE , HERE IT IS FOR YOU........... future doctor killed by improper boiler
About 4 in the afternoon, She was about to have bath when her mom called up. She told her mom she would call back after having bath. She never did.She died while having bath.Prathvishree was a first year medical student in JSS medical college, Mysore. She died after being electrocuted due to a faulty water heater. This accident was bound to happen. The conditions in which the students especially the girls lived were appalling. Sixty girls were put in a single dormitory. The place was swarming with construction workers round the clock. Zero security. All the girls had to manage with a few (probably 4) bathrooms. The bathrooms had faulty old boilers leaking electricity all the time.These were the facilities that were provided to students whose parents payed lakhs of rupees to the college administration.The death of the only child of the Dubai based parents shocked everybody. The students protested against the college authorities who did not bother to respond until the next day. The college also tried requesting the parents to register the death as a suicide.The sad thing was that none of the other parents bothered. They were of the following opinion "What has happened has happened. Let us not spoil the future of our children by going against the college administration." ..Selfish, narrow thoughts. What they didnt think was the fact that it so fucking could have been their child in the place of Prathvishree.Students, by themselves are very vulnerable. Their protest is of not much use as we have seen during the anti-reservation era. They protested for a couple of days and got back to their routine. The parents of Prathvishree on the other hand have taken the issue to court or they are going to. I hope.Lately, I heard the facilities have improved a little. Frankly speaking, I dont know how the parents agreed to put their children in that college, After examining the horrible state of the dormitories. Come on, It does not even have a proper hostel.]
