QUESTIONABLE CREDIBILITY ?
By revealing the rampant corruption in medical school admissions, the Vyapam scam has further eroded India’s shaky faith in its doctors.

The ongoing Vyavsayik Pareeksha Mandal scam in Madhya Pradesh (commonly known by its Hindi acronym Vyapam) has seen the deaths of a number of people under suspicious circumstances. The rising body count has caused a national furore, forcing the government to hand over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation to look further into the admissions and recruitment scandal that has been rocking the country. But besides the macabre deaths, the field of medicine in India must brace itself for one other negative fallout of the scam: the already declining trust in medical service providers has now fallen further,though alarming situation in one state of the country cannot be generalized.
