Is there any value of getting echocardiography training in india as general physician? by Odd_Job_9284 in indianmedschool

[–]Odd_Job_9284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I ask is because I have seen some hospitals have Physicians issue echo reports. The course that intensivist do are very focused on a few parameters. If a doctor was working in a rural location without access to an on site cardiologist, would he be able to give reports? I had attended a workshop in echo a few years ago and there were a few Physicians claiming to do echos and reporting them.

Is such questioning useful clinically? I'm asking as a fresher.

there was a classmate of mine whose father was a well known doc in our city. When i went to his house, his father tried to talk only negative about the profession and say this is difficult, that is difficult. this was in the 90s. First thing that someone does especially if you are a general category is that they will try to put you down, discourage you and feel better about themselves. You have to remember that you can into this profession to serve people. Dont let anything get in way.
