What type of work is done by the MBBS doctor
​

The role of the MBBS doctor is to collect information and offer it to the specialists so that the patients can get immediate and exact treatments. The physicians are suitable for initial investigation of medical diagnosis and also for in-depth diagnosis.

Well that is very vague question. A mbbs doctor can do so many things. Right from giving intra muscular injections, putting IV lines to endo tracheal intubations. I feel as a mbbs doctor, you should be able to do all kinds of primary line of treatments. You never know how patients may present to you ! And according to indian standards, a mbbs doctor is allowed to do surgical procedures like tubal ligations and vasectomies. 30 to 40 years back, mbbs doctors were also able to do appendectomies ! It is also expected that mbbs doctor should be able to do minor procedures like reducing a fracture or dislocated shoulder. Only thing you're not allowed to do is procedures that involve interference of other specialists like endoscopic surgeon, arthroscopic surgeon or anaesthesiologist. You are able to work as a general practitioner. Believe me, a GP has more knowledge than specialists because on day to day practice he gets to see patients from all branches. It is very unfortunate that these days there are very few MBBS doctors who are working as GPs. Everybody is running behind post graduation. Even i have also done the same! I have worked as a GP for couple of years and then i went for post graduation. MBBS students these days do not get enough training to be able to work as full fledged GP, and even if they do, all they are interested in is PG entrance exams ! In western world, GP has a lot of importance. You can not directly visit any specialist ( as we do in india ) unless you're referred by a GP !! The main reason behind thriving of quacks india is us ! As everybody wants to be a specialist, very few doctors are left to work as GP
