Thesis blues

Its a title which most of you doing your post graduate courses in medicine will identify it. I am facing it again in my DM (superspeciality) course. There are times when you start questioning the rationale of it (in fact it appears irrational most of the times). Though i side with those who believe that thesis should be integral part of one's postgraduate curriculum, more so in a superspeciality course, but the method in which we are made to do it in our country makes me go nuts. Most researches so done internationally involve logistic support, provision of manpower and funding. You cannot expect a post graduate student to carry out his ward/lab duties, study at the same time and carry out his thesis work all alone!! And that is why most thesis so submitted are poor in content and often with  forged data. Even a genuinely interested person will be bogged down by it, thesis completion rather becomes a forced upon baggage. It's time there is serious revision of how thesis projects are allotted and carried out. Unless there is provision of enough supporting manpower and funding the whole process of having a mandatory thesis should be scrapped. If not, there should be a provision so that many students can come together to do a single project rather than doing individual ones. That will go a long way in avoiding substandard and forged thesis whilst improving the publication potential of thesis so done in our country.
