VI. PERSONAL LIFE OF A DOCTOR

1. PERSONAL HABITS AND PLEASURES

     Man cannot have or enjoy every pleasure so try to remain happy with what ever your have.

     Remember, services to poor, needy and handicapped persons will give you more pleasure and satisfaction.

     Can you realise the limit of your internal pleasure if you save life of a person by attending him in a real emergency or in gasping or at collapse condition or at death bed.

     Eating is a great pleasure of life. Always try to fix the timing of your meals - inspite of your busy schedule.

     The meal should be taken peacefully, cleanly and at place of minimum disturbances. Remember meal is an essential part of life and proper diet will make you more efficient and sincere in work.

     Proper attention to be made to the nutrition and diet, lowering of salt and fat in diet, use of saturated vegetable oils for cooking should be encouraged.

     Vegetarian diet has protective effect from heart diseases and some forms of cancer. Indians have a strong tradition of vegetarianism which can be slightly modified appropriately to provide a balanced diet. Nutritious diet will go a long way for healthy living.

     Smoking or tobacco in any form is injurious for health. Try to stop or reduce the smoking habit first of your self then your advice can be mimic to others. A strong commitment to reduce smoking in population is one of the most important moral duties of a doctor in practice.

     Doctor should wear the clothes suitable to his or her age. These should be simple and sober. Attend the clinic or patient well dressed. Doctor should also advice the people to wear neat and clean cloths and should educate the peoples its importance.

     For all type of people jokes are entertaining and tonic. Jokes should be very fair and not untoward. In opposite jokes may be pernicious and friends may become enemy. Due care should be taken of the mood with whom you are jocking.

     One should spare some of his time for physical exercise. A doctor should learn about salbutory effects of exercise of health, especially on the Cardio-vascular system. In many cities, sedentary peoples either exercise occasionally or not exercise at all. They should be encouraged to do so preferably at their work sites in an organised manner.

2. MARITAL RELATION

     Martial relation should be maintained peacefully and affectionately. Disturbed relation with wife will invariably hamper your progress, peace of your mind, position in society directly and affect adversely knowledge and skill indirectly.

     Keep your regular interest in your family. Never neglect any family members.

     Never forget that you have two wives, one at your home and another is your profession, ensure proper balance in these. None should be neglected. Always convince your house wife that attention towards the profession is equally important for progress of both of them. The reputation of wife and family will also be equally more important than only dedication to profession.

     One should never forget the date of birth-day and that of marriage ceremony. Alway spare some of your time on these two occasions in a year for your wife and offer a good gift according to your capacity and her-liking.

     Make your life style more simple than your status.

3. FRIEND AND FRIENDSHIP

     Friendship with wide differences in status generally do not last. Every person can not be Lord Krishana and Sudama. Always have or develop a close relation with persons of equal status.

     Make personal friends to that extend only, where you can easily maintain. If you can not spare time to some of your old friends or colleagues, explain the real reasons of your busy schedules rather than ignoring them.

     You should always try to be a good friend or well-wisher your self.

     Don't regrate those who went away when you needed them, forget the cooperation you extended to them in their time of difficulty.

     Don't become too close to any body un-necessarily; too much knowledge about others (like family atmosphere and relatives with their problems) may disturb you and at time can retard your progress.

     Always try to take a harmonious decision convince or be convinced.

     Selection of the right persons for friends and servant, for any work, makes life more pleasant and progressive, but it is a difficult task to select and then retain them. Always remember your past experience of judgement in selection, and try to not repeat the error.

     Love towards all human being will give you peace but showing it every where without discrimination will burden you. Love your profession, patients first then others. This will bring success in you life.

     The person can not be judged only by repeated meets and through discussion. Only dealing and performance reveal the truth. Don't rely upon strangers and take care in dealing with new comers.

     Always have contact and family relation with those who have a very good reputation in the society and are known for their impartial morel and prestige. Don't make relation only on blind faith, promises or assurances. Exceptions are always there, but most mistake take place while evaluating exceptions.

     Behaviour of the �Chamchas� and sycophants who praise you excessively and unnecessarily. Always have try to find out your image in public. Accept your weak points, don't hesitate in welcoming you critics, but always try to remove them and improve yourself, your work at any level.

     Always try to avoid the accompany of noddy, nun-skull, nefarious, persons. They will always push you in trouble and hamper your progress.

     Your behaviour, profession, and work should be so fair that people should never regret having approached to you.

4. GUESTS & HOSPITALITY

     In general function don't invite any extra-ordinary person who needs more attention or who may take you much time otherwise your regular guest will be neglected and feel ignored. They may criticize you when ever they get a chance.

     In a particular gathering if you call your colleagues, honourable teachers and persons of your profession with your routine relations, and friends never talk on professional matter and try to mixed all matter in general discussion so that none of them feel isolated or being neglected.

     Attend any function or gathering only as a well-wisher. Don't unnecessarily go any where if you feel uncomfortable there. You should be ready to tolerate inconnivent situation or people irrelevant and mediocre. Always be careful in new and unfamiliar situation.

5. JUSTICE, SACRIFICE AND BEHAVIOUR

     Sometimes you cannot render justice or have to tolerate injustice to end a chapter of injustice, or to avoid further complications. If by virtue of your maturity you tolerate an injustice, you should not be disheartened.

     Sometimes to justify your justice is difficult and so justice may be felt as injustice by affected persons. Try again to convince him by your effective argument. If you are victors, have patience, think and tolerate if beneficial to other in large in comparison to your gain to smaller level.

     The most uncommon thing is common sense. Apply the common sense while discussing on any subject.

     Patience is required to enjoy the fruit of your labour. Patience can save you from many obstacles coming across the life span.

     Don't regret any sacrifice, which you have done, sacrifice give internal strength, confidence and enhance your goodwill. Don't under-estimate the value of sacrifice. It never goes in-vain. It should continue through out life.

     It is not we to judge whether or not the laws are justified or not. Even if you are forced to violate them for any harmless strong reasons, do feel conscious of your guilt and try to minimize violating the law. It is very difficult to follow all the rule in profession, administration and practice and even in business. Sometimes we have to show flexibility in good faith as many situation warrant.

     Your repeated success should always improve your behaviour skill, and talent.

     Your should spend the maximum time in your profession. Don't try to be an all rounder. Don't worry if you are weak in some skill or in general knowledge or if you are not well-known in the society. Do your work to best of your knowledge.

     If you do not get the attention you desire. Try to find out the reasons. Respect is achieved only through performance.

     Your polite, lenient or tolerant nature should never be misunderstood for weakness. Always be loyal, loyalty is more important than hard work.

     Don't try to show youself as being more resourceful and efficient, this is showing off, which always creates more problems rather solving them.

     The most difficult task is to prove truth to be true. You will not enjoy the fruits of honesty and loyalty if you can not prove that you are honest and loyal.
