Problems faced by baby consultants (  😁  ) at periphery When brand new consultants are posted at peripheries as consultants then they face certain challenges at most DHQs and THQs. I will describe them in 2 major category. Medical and surgical consultants. Medical consultants : When consultant of medicine is appointed, he is immediately a threat to senior medical officers who are working in that hospital and city as specialist. They usually gang up among themselves against the young consultant. They start sending heavy patients load towards the consultant. These SMOs, APMOs usually do opds in morning so its very easy for them to redirect every patient towards the consultant. This makes it impossible for him to see patients with care and concentration. Imagine 200 to 300 patients per 6 hours. He will not be able to see patients with full skills. In the meanwhile these seniors start spreading words through lower staff that the consultant is rude and is not competent....

Rule for transfer/posting of consultants (Specialized cadre BS-18 and above) at Primary & Secondary health care department. You can read details. In short it says you cannot be transferred to specialized Healthcare department and if you do, it will be after 10 years and still only for 3 years. It also says Lahore is out of bounds for consultants.
