A Gazetted Govt. Officer in BS 17 gets 30000 lump sum salary per month whereas a trainee Doctor is being paid 42000 and on completion he gets 62000 in BS 17. 3 millions are spent from public money to make a Doctor whereas no such money is spent to make a Govt. Officer. People should know the facts and develop an opinion for Doctors to end strike to save lives. After all they are LIFE SAVERS ( MASEHA) on Earth . Yes they are!!! Now is a time. Medical Colleges. Should also take some legal bounding from female Students for their admission, so they continue their medical practices after getting professional degree .... All the Drs are children of Pakistan, they must realize the geopolitical situation, Pakistan can not afford more CHAOS & UNCERTAINTY. LONG LIVE PAKISTAN! Truth by Kbaig

On this message we got following reactions from two very senior doctors and these are being quoted as well to clear the position of doctors as well...

They are my dear not asking for money ! They are asking for service structure. You hold a responsible position in society and people pay attention to what you say, so have the right facts before you circulate your opinion, and the few facts are:

these doctors we are talking about are young, not the very few blessed ones with massive practices, they are at great risk to get blood borne diseases, they are not facilitated for their own treatment and so on..... Please come out of your delusions Baig sb!

Best Regards! Ever Yours!

On Doctor crises Dr Sohrab Aslam Khan says ....... 

Pakistan is passing through a critical stage & to meet the challenges, a leadership of true vision & valor is needed.

From the Govt side, able negotiators are required to engage the doctors in order to achieve the results through persuasion.

I myself led such a movement successfully against Yahya regime.
