Doctor-poets and resistance Kathmandu Post
Nepal, July 18 A recent demonstration by doctors of the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Dharan exhibited a creative mode of resistance. The young doctors recited their poems to highlight their demands for reform and proper management of the institute by its officials. The resistance movement was initiated by those creative youths who have been writing poetry for years. The agitation is underway even as I write these lines.
The theme of this short essay is my experience with doctor-poets of the new generation in Nepal. As I have been in touch with this crop of creative doctors at different medical institutes of Nepal, I want to recall some occasions and elaborate why I see the emergence of doctor-poets as the beacon of a great medical renaissance. I will briefly explain the reasons for my faith and my direct encounters with them.
