Let us have more of these kinds of courses
When I had a heart attack, it was diagnosed as one that required the Anjio kind of treatment and I was only semi conscious. Even before I was taken to the operation theatre, I found a very dynamic young girl, who would have hardly been 24 years old, literally running the show and ordering people all around. She spoke to the surgeon as well and was superb in coordination.It was a painless surgery and I was in the special room a bit later. I woke up after a while and the same girl was there by my side enquiring about my health and telling me what I should have as food and so on. In fact, since my residence at Chennai was virtually next door to the hospital, I was allowed food from home as well.
I became a bit personal. I profusely thanked her and asked her where she did her MBBS course. To my shock, she told me that she had done a four year course called Doctor's Professional Assistance course. This would mean that they are even allowed to take emergency decisions on drugs to be given to patients, but they do not do surgery. They have huge powers to take operating decisions.
This course is available in at least four Deemed Universities of Chennai that also have the MBBS course and huge hospitals as well. She had however passed out of Pondichery
It was a simply superb attention that I got from this girl. We need many more such courses. I later learned that the Ramanchandra University at Chennai has over 100 such para medical and job oriented courses.
