        Medical humanities: a resident doctor’s perspective
        
        
        
        
            Abstract:
             The barrage of competitive examinations, overwork, sleep deprivation, and the pressure of expectations all combine to destroy the dreams that resident doctors have when they start medical school. The empathy they had before entering this field fades away, and they eventually become insensitive to their patients.
