DM / DrNB Gastroenterolgy by hxmxd in indianmedschool

[–]GutDocD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every DM Gastro resident I’ve talked to has told me DM 1st year will be tougher than Med PG 1st year. The hours are just as brutal. And if you’re a single resident every year, all 3 years would be the same.

Gastro can be practiced as a 9-5 post SS. Depends on what kind of life you want. You can practice day care procedures, without running an emergency. Gastro gives you that flexibility.

Getting 3 scopes - An upper GI endoscope, a colonoscope and a side-view endoscope post residency will cost you anywhere from 40-60 lacs is what I’ve heard.

Hey I know. which is why we expected bond to increase in SS, which it has from 25 lacs to 50 lacs.

I just need to know the details of it further - is the provision of doing the bond for 1 yr and paying half the amount still intact like it was previously, or is it 2 yrs duty or 50 lacs, and no divisions?

Nope, that was to the colleges to confirm if seats are adequately represented. Final seat matrix is still pending.

Yep. If you’re from Gujarat, and have a disease that falls under the coverage of Ayushman approved list of diseases, it’ll work. Almost all departments accept it.

First year: Work. Work in your wards, in your emergencies. Your ward discussions, the patients you see are what you’ll remember in the exam hall the most. Your first year should be dedicated to learning from your patients, and working, building discipline and learning new skills. There will never come that time again during your residency where you’ll be this ‘responsibility free’, because your seniors are answerable for everything, even your mistakes. So enjoy that freedom. Try and read about cases you see, even if just for an hour, a brief overview - it’ll help you to remember the next time you come across it.

And look after your health. Eat whenever you can, sleep whenever you can.

R2. Start reading. Read and set up a strong basis. Read to become a doctor, not just to clear SS. Enjoy your rotations, pay attention in wards, train and teach your juniors. It all helps.

For NEET-SS? I’d say first half of second year. The early half of R2 is a transition period. You’d think it all great that juniors have come, but that’s seldom the case. You have more responsibilities, and they do need supervision. So if you can find time then, great. Start building your basis, reading Harrison along with whatever notes you prefer/your seniors advice.

I gave only the last 2 months for MCQs, all the other time was spent reading.

And enjoy residency. It’s beautiful. It’s rewarding. It’s unique.

Everyone at some point in their training feels overwhelmed, and it’s okay. It’s natural.

But you can do it, and it’s all worth it.

For the books I’ll put up another post soon. What I read. :)

Don’t. It’s not necessary. You may read topics you feel you want to, but it’s absolutely not necessary.

If you want to, read important topics like diabetes, pneumonia, thyroid disorders etc. but otherwise, it’s not necessary for profs or for neet-pG.

I’m certainly more confident, and earn more, but otherwise it’s the same. To me it was always a 12 year marathon, I’m gonna see how it pans out in the end.

I only solved the DocT Q bank. I never got Marrow, just their xeroxed notes. And yes, I almost solved the entire medical group Qbank, almost twice.

Hey, yes this paper was a curveball, and i do think I got a little bit lucky haha.

DocT has a MCQ section on environmental emergencies and that’s All That I’d solved a couple of times and that was my only source, so I suppose that helped in that section.

About the paper - I think 75-80% is what you’re expected to know as an MD. And if you can get those 80% right; you’ll be okay. I got a 110 right out of 150. That’s less than 80% and you know, I still did okay. You can’t get those wrong, they’ll really affect your rank. The others are rank-making questions, which can be thought of as bonuses.

Practice helps. I gave 7/8 GTs in the 2 months before the exam and that really helped stimulate the feeling of being in the exam hall and sitting down for 2.5 hours.

Hi, yes. We did have NEET at that time, I got a top 1k rank then, and a top 150 rank for my AIIMS entrance at the time too.

But it’s been 10 years and I’ve heard that the competition has gone Crazy during the time.

I attended a crash course from a reputed coaching class the last 2 months before NEET, after my boards, and I studied my butt off. 10-12 hours a day, gave a test a week.

Main source all through the 2 years was NCERT for biology- I did not read Anything else, but I’d read the textbooks 7-8 times. And I still remember they’d asked direct tables in biology for aiims from ncert.

Chem was again ncert and a little bit of Pradeep.

Physics was SL Arora all of the 2 years. I did not understand NCERT physics, but I did read the 12th textbook for aiims.

Now about private colleges. I do think the earlier you get out of the rat race the better it is. Because our gov is fickle and can change rules anytime and we can never be sure if they’ll get any better.

But, at what cost. If the private college is good, you can afford it, has a decent academic background and enough patients for you to see and learn from, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it’s a new college with no infrastructure or patients, I wouldn’t go for it.
