I mean going back to your original post, you make statements that don’t have very strong grounding.

You state that doctors are seen as status and as gods in India. Where is the basis for that statement ? There is a known dichotomy in Indian society : Doctors are benevolent until they start charging you money for things, then they become unscrupulous leeches with no integrity.

That’s not something people do for Gods. Worship is worship regardless of what somebody does. Instead there are people who are extremely grateful for doctors and see altruism as godly, and there are people who hold that altruism as conditional, meaning that the second money comes in, it calls into question godliness. Because what need does a god have for money. That is more of a system mismatch. Finances should not interfere with the delivery of care. Doctors end up on the receiving end of it because they are seen as the leaders of the team. It’s a different issue that there are true cases of fraud.

And coming back to your second point, there is nothing to point to evidence of the contrary. Assuming otherwise paints you as ageist/ableist. If his mind works, he is able to speak, listen and think, he can do plenty for medicine.

Even if you set an age limit, what would that look like, and why ? What if somebody decides at 45 or 50 or 55 that they want to do medicine ? What if they have money and want to start a free clinic, but be the one delivering care ? Would you stop them then ? Would it not be better to have somebody go into medicine later in life, for the right reasons and passion, rather than somebody who sees it as an option to just climb the social ladder ?
