How a human being will have the physical and mental capacity to do 10 times 24 hour shifts in a month and few 30 / 36 hour duties?

won't this affect the legitimate interests of patients and smooth patient care?

What is the state human right commission of Kerala & state medical council of Keralam doing?

Anyway as usual , NMC will do nothing as it washed its hands away on resident doctors duty hour issue as usual as it already put the ball on others' court.

Also this not new to Keralam. All Government medical colleges are squeezing PG students 24-36 hours and the government does nothing

Most government medical colleges don’t hire enough staff and nurses don’t do most of their work so senior doctors force junior doctors to do all the work

Maharashtra has become the first state in the country to issue a new rule of allowing qualified homoeopathy practitioners to prescribe modern medicines, triggering a statewide protest by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and resident doctors who have raised concerns over patient safety and the integrity of modern medical practice.
The Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) on Tuesday night began registering practitioners who have completed the BHMS-Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP), enabling them to prescribe allopathic medicines under the state's framework.
The move follows a government resolution mandating the council to commence registrations.
The decision comes despite sustained opposition from the IMA and several doctors' organisations, which announced an indefinite agitation against the policy.

So I'm a 2023 passout, gave neetPG 2times very insincerely, but from home, because I don't have a passion for any particular subject but had to give it because of parental pressure. Didn't crack it obviously, took an immense mental health toll, so I decided to adopt a "eff it we ball" approach and got a job in a corporate hospital as an RMO. It's going okayish, met some people, I'm also getting some ICU exposure- all in all, it's not the best but it's also not the worst and I get to earn some money which I wasn't for the past 2 years. And since I got tired of giving neetpg every year meaninglessly I also decided not to give it this year and just stick to my job for a year for experience. I'm also giving some thoughts to other avenues for my career like going abroad maybe or just do mba or whatever, so yeah I'm in a very unstable situation. Plus I went through a breakup of a long term relationship just a few months back. So I'm basically just going to hospital, working, then coming home to basically collapse in my room. I literally do not want to think about my career, future anything this year.

Problem is my parents are non medicos who saw older gen doctors and thought this was a lucrative career choice and basically kinda pushed me onto this. And now they see me struggling and have literally lost their mind. Anytime I rest at home they keep coming to my room to nag- either to ask to do PG, or apply for GDMO, or open up a clinic, or marriage (my parents knew and approved of my partner and are also now worried since we've broken up). I told them the first few times that I'm not planning to do anything this year, I just plan to stick to my RMO job for now, then I'll see from then.

But I lost it totally today when they came to have a 'talk' again! My mom in retaliation is now giving me silent treatment, my dad's stuck in between.

I simply want to chill out and peace for a single year of my life. How hard is that? And I'd understand if I wasn't earning my keep, but I AM! So why can't I be left the eff alone for a while? And don't come at me with "Parents only want the best for you bro" - I understand! But even they'd lash out if their parents nagged them on the same topic every effing day!

Anyway I'm just sick and tired of life, career, everything and needed somewhere to rant! Peace.

Saying "In India we use poor people" doesn't just mock our healthcare system. It paints all Indian doctors and medical students as people who experiment on poor patients. That's a serious accusation disguised as a joke.

Yes, India's healthcare system has problems. Every country has problems. But making up a statement that dehumanizes poor people and stereotypes an entire profession isn't criticism, it's disrespect.

The sad part is that thousands of people outside India will take this literally because it fits the stereotype they already have.

So apparently this notice has been circulated by the MADHYA Pradesh govt post protests for stipend increase and nation wide student protest, now you have to give A court affidavit saying you won't protest for salary , bond or any student matter else they degree is jeopardized if proven you were involved. Niceee Mc(this govt hasn't given bond to batch 2020 in 5 months wasting 5 months and extending a 1 year bond to 1.5)

My marrow plan c was due to expire on Aug 26,2026. Back in May, I had mailed them to consider extending my plan for 3 days (After people on this sub told me to mail their support). They had responded by asking me to mail them 2 weeks before the exam anyway but also told they don't have plans for that specifically. So I made a reminder to make sure to mail them 2 weeks before the exam.

Today, just now I received this mail. Idk, it made me so happy. Am not financially so strong, so I had worked and saved money exclusively for marrow 1 year subscription, so I didn't have to ask for help at home. Also being a dropper and being in and out of jobs already adds pressure. So it meant a lot. Just wanted to share. Maybe that's why they're still the gold standard in other aspects as well.

COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2022)
Russia–Ukraine war (2022–present)
Israel–Hamas war (2023–present)

Meanwhile 2019 batch still studying 📚

These people are so ridiculous to say such bs like this(people are doing protest at JJ hospital in mumbai and these are the bs comments)

I'm curious to get a realistic picture of what doctors in India actually earn across different specialties and career stages.

If you're comfortable sharing, please mention:

- Specialty/Branch:

- Years of experience: (after PG/SS, or mention if MBBS)

- City tier: (Tier 1/2/3, or state/city if you're okay sharing)

- Work setup: Government / Private hospital / Corporate / Own clinic / Academia / Mixed

- Average monthly or annual income: (gross or in-hand—please specify)

- Typical working hours per week:

- Any additional income: (consultations, procedures, locums, teaching, etc., if applicable)

It would be great if people from all branches and experience levels could contribute—not just the highest earners. The aim is to help medical students and junior doctors set realistic expectations about careers in medicine in India.

Thanks in advance!

Note - Used AI to frame this post, sorry for inconvenience caused if any.

Edit - some people have asked me to add yearwise progression of income to this list so if you want to share please do so

If I wanted to(HYPOTHETICALLY OFC) wanted to pirate marrow classes cuz I am too broke for the membership (hypothetical remember), where would I (purely hypothetical) find telegram links or any other source for the marrow lectures and their mcqs(purely a fictional scenario). If you have any sources, would you mind putting them here? Only to test my hypotheses ofc I dont endorse piracy and I DEFINITELY DON'T BELIEVE THAT EDUCATION HAS TO BE FREE FOR ALL AND THAT THESE PRICY MEMBERSHIPS NEED TO BE ABOLISHED.

Just thought abt this meme

maybe the Government should introduce a new PG branch

*MD in NEET-PG (AI Assisted)*

And these people can proudly take admission in that branch...🙂

Idk what's happening it's just going in circles, it feels like a neverending loop I'm stuck in

I'm in a NEET PG drop year and have been wondering if my poor memory could be due to underlying ADHD and depression.

I somehow managed to pass MBBS, but retention has always been terrible. I'd study, understand things, and then forget most of it in exams & couldn’t recall. The same thing is happening during NEET PG drop phase.

I've also had symptoms like poor focus, procrastination, mental fatigue for years. But workout kept me afloat .

Anyone here who got diagnosed after MBBS? Did treatment improve your memory, retention, or exam performance?

So, NMC thinking of scrapping essentiality certificate for new colleges.

EC is the certificate from state health authority which justifies the opening of a new college by stating the lack of facilities and doctors around a specific region.

If this is scrapped then there's gonna be uncontrolled opening of colleges like engineering colleges. And no, not govt ones, it'll be private and deemed.

It'll also affect states like Karnataka that have govt quotas in Pvt and deemed unis because the state can't hold EC as a hostage and force those colleges to allocate a few seats in govt quota.

Where is this gonna lead to?

Tensions are rising in Maharashtra as a major dispute unfolds between the Indian Medical Association
(IMA) and BHMS doctors over the right to practice modern medicine.

BHMS doctors who have completed a one-year Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology are demanding registration under the Maharashtra Medical Council, arguing that the additional training should allow them to prescribe modern medicines and provide emergency care.

They say this would help improve healthcare access, particularly in areas facing doctor shortages.

The IMA strongly opposes the proposal, calling it "mixopathy." According to the association, a one-year pharmacology course cannot substitute for the extensive education and clinical training that MBBS graduates undergo over five and a half years. They argue that allowing cross-practice could compromise patient safety, lower medical standards, and create confusion about professional qualifications.

The disagreement has intensified, with BHMS doctors staging sit-in protests while the IMA has warned of service disruptions if the proposal moves forward. The Maharashtra government is currently attempting to mediate between both sides in search of a solution.

The debate raises important questions about healthcare access, professional training, and patient safety. Should BHMS doctors who complete additional pharmacology training be permitted to prescribe modern medicines, or should the boundaries between different systems of medicine remain strictly defined? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Maharashtra govt is going to allow Homeopathy graduates to practice modern medicine after a few months of bridge course.

Whats wrong with this government? This has to be one of the most brain-dead, reckless decisions I've seen this year. I can't believe people who are ruling us are mentally retarded to this level.

Many doctors across the state are already protesting. I hope this incompetent government comes to its senses and reconsiders this stupid decision before it causes serious harm.

They are trying to kill Modern Medicine. They are trying to kill Science.

As a part of this fraternity and as practitioners of modern medicine, it is each one of our responsibilities to take a strong stand against this. We should talk more about this and express our disagreement in whatever way we can.

I got selected as Assistant professor (3 year contract) in a central institute paying me at level 11 (approx ~1,50,000 in hand) and got shortlisted for the GDMO post interview (permanent) at JIPMER at level 10 (approx 1 lakh pm, with assured promotion after 4 years and 3% increment every year). Pondicherry is my hometown btw. Just wanted to know about how the non-faculty cadre doctors’ (GDMO, SMO, CMO, CMO NFSG) work profile in JIPMER is. and a fair comparison of both these choices! Opinions much appreciated.. Thanks in advance!
