Resident doctors of AIIMS backed protests by their counterparts in Rajasthan for higher pay and promotions, and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "live their life for a day" to understand their stress.

The AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) wrote to the PM on Sunday and urged him to understand the pressure on doctors at government hospitals due to poor infrastructure and misbehaviour of patients' families and attendants during emergency situations.

"We are lucky to have an active PM like you... Now RDA AIIMS requests you to put (on) white apron and spend one day as a government doctor to understand the tremendous amount of pressure we face, the agony of patients who did not get treatment, the dying healthcare system due to lack of resources and infrastructure," AIIMS RDA president Harjit Singh Bhatti wrote in the letter.

He said it will also set an example to ministers who level allegations against doctors for cheap publicity. "Your one day as a government doctor can be a turning point for the healthcare system as it will restore faith in the medical profession," the letter read.
