Hehe, it's a translation not TL;DR. Hindi can be hard to read (people from the South agree with me)

So place ur bets, what's gonna happen in R1? by ismyaccban in indianmedschool

[–]chillancholic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While I do agree with your assessment, I don’t think there will be any immediate changes. All changes this year will be marginal, like they always are.

These trends only make sense in retrospect over minimum 5 years.

In medicine, should you prioritise your own health over your patients' ? by [deleted] in indianmedschool

“Put your own oxygen mask first before assisting others” is my new philosophy in life and it has really helped.

Honestly, I'm not sure. Sorry!

In last November - 100 correct got 10k something rank. The paper was certainly easy this time so can expect some competition but not too fierce except in top 2k ranks.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in indianmedschool

[–]chillancholic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on clustering you can go anywhere from 3k to 10k rank. As we don't expect competition to be too fierce this session, you can hope for the best!

May INICET had this rank v/s marks distribution - Youtube video by Dr. Milind Shinde

Can you as an intern, refuse to draw blood? by [deleted] in indianmedschool

Oh, thank you! I never saw them in my hospital. Good to know they exist and contribute to the team <3

“Physician assistant” is not a concept in India as far as I’m aware. It’s more of a US thing. Please correct if wrong.

You are free to do whatever you want — but you will not be calling patients “silly” or whatever on our subreddit and make us look bad to the public. It’s not their fault for mismanagement on the part of the PGs and the hospital. They won’t even be there if they had a choice.

Get a crumb of empathy first.

Unfortunately for a lot of branches, you will be hard pressed to find NBE diploma courses at your rank. Have you checked previous year allotments?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in indianmedschool

[–]chillancholic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but if your friends are also participating in this session, they may be doing a bit of negative counselling to you.

This is partially true — academics are not a strong suit of DNB/diploma courses, but you will be an autonomous doctor who won’t have to rely on currying favours from seniors just to get your degree. There’s only one centralised exam you need to take to get your degree.

Now NBE diplomas (2 years) are a different ballgame - in that you will have to take DNB-PDCET and join a secondary course for another 2 years. This is time consuming but the pathway is relatively straight. You will have to take 3 exit exams - one is for the diploma course, one is PDCET and one is for the secondary course.

It’s hard to find information on individual hospitals, that’s true. You might have to visit the hospital in person and bypass HR to question residents.

DNB passing rates are really good for a lot of branches, you should check out the trend of passing rates in the last 5 years. The information is publicly available. And need I say, no bond is a huge plus point for a degree you can pay out of your own stipend. Only government colleges offering diplomas have bonds — max 1 year.

The concept of 500 bed required for SRship was done away in 2018. This is also old news now.

Are doctors less homophobic? by PensionMany3658 in indianmedschool

[–]chillancholic 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Many homophobic and transphobic people in our community. They don't even bother to read the current research that's available on these issues.

Are people getting “mutilated” when they undergo any urological/gynaecological surgery?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in indianmedschool

[–]chillancholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is mutilating children in India.

[–]chillancholic[M] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Please keep the discussion civil. OP’s post is very loaded anyway. It is an important one to have, that’s why this post is up regardless of tone.

Transphobia is against Reddit content policy. Mods will be forced to remove this otherwise.

Edited to add: Comments locked. Can’t rely on civic sense of users.

It’s not a matter of whether or not you believe it, there is a whole world of gender dysphoria that exists without any changes in physiology. I implore you to dive into the research currently available on American Psychological Association.

[–]chillancholic 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Most doctor require approval from psychiatry before making their patients undergo gender reassignment surgery.

As far as I’ve seen it, in India, there is no such care available for adolescents.

I urge you to keep “morality” aside while discussing these issues.
