Paradox in Medical Education

A student goes through a lot of effort and competitive examinations to become a doctor. He studies day and night, attending school and coaching classes or private tuitions in the tenth standard to get good marks to ensure admission in a good college. Then he bunks college lectures and attends coaching classes and private tuitions to get good marks in common entrance test to get admission into a good medical college, and if that is not possible, any medical college. He studies 5 or 6 books minimum per subject to ensure a good score. Once he enter a medical college, he bunks classes and wards, does not attend private coaching classes or private tuitions, reads maximum one book per subject (that too the smallest possible, perhaps a guide or one bordering on a guide) to pass with 50% marks. Then he spends one year of internship solving multiple choice questions as preparation for postgraduate common entrance test, not doing what he should be doing as an intern (i.e. application of what he is expected to have learned as a medical student). As a postgraduate, he spends two years and 9 months working as a resident doctor but reading practically nothing, and then three months (the period of exam leave) reading whatever everyone reads to pass the postgraduate examination. There is something seriously wrong if he makes his best effort in the twelfth standard and the worst in the course of his medical training. What is even worse is he refuses to understand this and change for better even after counseling.
