First it was in Malkangiri’s SNCU and then in the SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, issues of not so outrageous nature has kept the respective administrations on the toes. And what is more amusing is that the local media gets nose-laid by such trivial yet spicy stuff to keep the bulletins priming.
A few video clips of the nursing staff may be spun out of an adolescent fancy but without any noticeable dereliction in duty. However, it is a different matter if such stuff were to be uploaded in the Tik-Tok app or not. Until and unless such acts are, in anyway, so offensive in essence to trigger a vigil among the departments concerned, there was nothing to be so serious about to render a few jobless.
Yes, there are bigger issues which get heaped under neglect in the health services somehow escaping the notice and concern of the authorities. Had such activities of the nurses, either in Malkangiri or in Cuttack affected the services? Not so really, perhaps.
Maybe at their leisure time, the young ladies had shot the clips and maybe, out of some youthful enthusiasm they got that uploaded in the app. Purely, it was under the hyped media bashing the authorities rushed for the show-causes to ward off any further ramification. Not realising a bit that what repercussion might ensue to damage the families the nurses belong to.
Whether taking selfie or shooting such clips through the mobile phones are modern versions of earlier-time doodling at leisure.
One can’t miss the turbulent concerns shown by the television reporters or anchors, engaged in a kind of tempestuous pursuit to unearth, as if, something so seditious or anti-social about those videos!
The bigwigs ruling the hospitals or the medical colleges must wake themselves up from the catatonic stupor they live with, unmindful of the ills and filth those corrode the health of the medical services, which is virtually all pervasive.
