The financial benefit is obviously a driving force of any profession but I think when you are a doctor you have an obligation to work in a way that helps the distressed and the needy. As a doctor, one must strive to be a useful asset to society. I will advise the juniors to follow the instances of their seniors and work in harmony with their colleagues."
