A recent report says there is going to be a dearth of senior doctors at ORs as old hands are disappearing due to age. Of course, there are gadgets, machines (and robots) to help, but will they replace the wisdom of the expert hands who have done great service to the society. It will be fine if the seniority is not decided on who paid most to get the qualifications. Are patients going to have a new worry,too? Of course, god is there up above.
