Valentine Day is a Very wonderful moment to youth, especially students. And this time around the students are indeed delighted that its obstacle free. You know what I mean this year 14th of Feb has fallen on an excellent day what with it missing holiday and bands too. They are delighted on meeting their valentine’s without any hassle at their college. But Medical students aren’t any exception to rest of the students. But they have their own problems. Despite the greatest desire to meet their valentine, they are not allowed to be absent. Ironically their teachers and doctors also face the same problem. Duty plays villain to their desire of arranging dates with their beloved ones.

Dr. Manoj, how would he like to get rid of that Dr. title for just this day. He is been with the medical department at KMC, had a night shift duty on this auspicious day. Hence having to let go of the opportunity of spending the day and night with his valentine, his newly married wife.

Manoj also doesn’t face the problem. There are many doctors who have duty on the same day. One of them is an intern doctor managed to free himself for the day unfortunately his dr. valentine had duty. He expressed that even Dr. always serve for people, people never thinks that Dr. is also a man. He also has some desires. Some of the cute nurses express that ‘they’ll celebrate the valentine day by phone’. One nursing staff said that it is very difficult to arrange time especially on the occasions. She suggested that never select a medical person as valentine. One MBBS student of final year said ‘I easily persuaded a beautiful girl to be my valentine, but am not sure about squeezing out time to be with her.’ As he still has loads of books to go through and according to him he was better at dealing with his girlfriend’s anger than his teachers scolding. But life of basic students is easy. When I was in basic science, I remember that boys and girls were going for dating and we used to give proxy for them. But now how to save the friends? It is a great problem. This year medical students say finding a valentine is much easier than finding time to spend with them.
