I just want to get this message out in the open to the general public. If at all you do visit a hospital , either as a kin of the patient or as the patient, please stop behaving like entitled assholes towards the nursing staff /ward boys/mama / maushis. Have some compassion .

Bro spitting fire .

Insane amount of people picking up General Medicine in this year's R1 NEET PG. Are surgical branches no more favoured ? What's this trend going on ?

Looks like an 18G needle was used for Lumbar Puncture.

There is actually no glory in missing out on things in life which may enrich it - a holiday with your girlfriend, watching your child take their first steps , spending time with your mates etc. On top of it, most patients never ever respect the personal space of a doctor.

It's the countless sacrifices they make - their health, their time , their relationships, their families, their hobbies, and their youth - to this profession , that may seem too much, often in retrospect. Most non medicos will not understand this aspect of the profession

When most doctors say that they wouldn't want their own to join medicine - it's not that they utterly hate the profession. Infact, many enjoy what they do. 1/2

Given a chance, an Indian citizen will look to spend the least amount of money on healthcare, no matter how rich he/she is. And I am not talking about the poor and helpless. It's these filthy rich entitled buggers who want the best treatment at least cost, with same quality

@RavinderKapur2 That is because Indonesia adopted Hinduism as a national culture perse. Indonesian National emblem today is known as the "Garuda Pancasila" despite being majority Muslim. But it's the Hindus in India that will cry a river if any attempt in India is made as such

Still remember in my third year he took an entire 2 hour lecture on urine analysis just with a chalk and blackboard. No PPT, no screen. Just pure knowledge. One of the main reasons I fell in love with medicine was because of his rounds. Teachers such as him will be a rarity.

One of the best teachers medicine has had. His grand rounds were a feast to attend. I always wonder how someone can have such excellent clinical skills and knowledge. He must have trained countless number of Top doctors across Maharashtra and beyond over the years.

Cannot imagine the amount of diarrhea this patient is going to have

One hundred damn percent

Can Swifties classify as a cult ?

We need loads of competent and clinically sound radiologists in the country

Apparently Vasco Da Gama on his quest to discover India, had sailed to Mozambique and discovered it earlier. That's how the Portugese later settled there Things you learn during Haemat residency 🤣

We currently have a patient of Myeloma who is from Mozambique. I was surprised to find out that she spoke Portugese, which is not a common language spoken in Africa. Turns out, Mozambique was a Portugese colony, and it's one of their official languages.

I have a 5 year old developmentally compromised patient of Bone marrow failure syndrome - whose parents decide to casually disappear for 3 hours, asking the nursing staff to care for him. While this hyperactive child keeps on yanking the Hickmann catheter inserted yesteday.

Invite full meritocracy and zero socialism in STEM in India and then we'll talk of building spaceships
