Ah, the noble pursuit of medicine in Nepal—a journey where MD resident doctors are treated like modern-day Spartans, expected to endure trials of austerity that would make a monk blush. With a monthly stipend of Rs. 19,000 (a dazzling $180), total completion fee of Rs 2,400,000 ($18,461) they're learning firsthand the true art of survival. Forget independence; the curriculum seems to be designed to teach the meaning of submission and sacrifice.
Who needs dignity or fair compensation when you can have the thrill of working long hours with barely enough to buy coffee? It's practically a live-action boot camp for resilience, where future doctors are molded into experts in stretching pennies and battling burnout. Independence, you say? Perhaps a course in the history of serfdom would better prepare students for the realities of their profession. After all, why strive for fairness when you can revel in the romance of exploitation? Bravo!
