Where are the doctors

This post has got nothing to do with the doctors who abstained from their duty during the anti-reservation protest.
I vividly remember the day when I was in class VI. Our teachers had staff meeting and as a rule our seniors from class XI came to mind the class. One of them asked each of us about our ambition and nearly 60% of us replied that we would like to be a doctor and practise in rural areas. He calculated and expressed his happiness by saying that after ten to twelve years there would be no dearth of doctors in the rural areas.
Nearly after eight years, after passing out from high school, I came in contact with most of my classmates, thanks to Orkut. Nearly all of them are now associated with IT industry leaving the poor villagers in despair. Now what was it that forced them to change their decision? Why did India loose so many Doctors? Clearly the answer is the IT boom that India has witnessed in the recent years. It has forced many to change their career plan. It has boosted the Indian economy and provided jobs to lakhs of youths. So we can say that medical world loss is IT industrie's gain.
