Altruism for medical students

Medicine is the most competitive

And lucrative field of education.

The academic brilliance test

Is the scale for selection of students.

Medicine is the most essential

And life saving field to the mankind.

The altruistic aptitude must rank high

For the selected to the medical coarse.

Aptitude test for courage is a must

For the entry to the defence service.

Aptitude for leadership is a must

For the entry to the management course.

To earn status coupled with high income

Has been the propeller for the aspirants.

Studying medicine is made expensive,

Affluence has been the source providing.

A survey finds only one third of pupils

Have got a high altruistic tendency,

Thanks  neither to the sermons and scripture

Nor to the schooling but to their parents..

A doctor must be service oriented.

Lack of service must not cost patient's life.

Want of money must not cost the patient's life.

It is time medical students were screened.
