In this episode of The Syllabus of Life, Ravi Kapoor sits down with Dr. Nachiket Bhatia — doctor, second-generation entrepreneur, and medico-activist — to expose the uncomfortable truths behind India's healthcare and medical education systems.This isn't theory from a distance. Dr. Bhatia breaks down what really happens inside the system — the corporatization of hospitals, the opaque billing that leaves patients furious, why people wrongly blame doctors instead of the system, the NEET paper-leak crisis failing 22 lakh students, and the brutal reality of residency where young doctors work 24-36 hour shifts for as little as ₹50,000 a month.He also confronts the rising violence against doctors — beaten, stripped, and threatened — and asks why a profession this vital is treated with so little protection. A raw, honest conversation every doctor, NEET aspirant, and patient needs to hear.
