Being a doctor is not a profession, it’s a passion. It requires immense efforts to step into medical college. There are lots of challenges, stress, tension but we have managed to fight through all those hurdles and reached our desired destination. We, the budding medicos today will become the responsible doctors of our tomorrow’s society. So we are precious and our life is worthy. As emerging doctors, mostly we try to follow whatever we study but, do we give the same importance when it comes to our own diet? This seems to be a difficult question to answer and to be frank the outcome is a big ‘no’. We have come across many newspaper reports about young doctors who have suffered cardiac arrest. So, let us look at the factors which lead us medics to ignore our diet.
