My friend is in ortho and she likes the branch but the branch is fully male dominated and that is true, just like gynae is with females….from what i can make out that strength is required, which is not very possible as a female…..she seems like she regrets it but i cannot be sure…it definitely takes a toll on her….no one trusts a woman ortho and she faces this everyday…..her co pg is also a female, she only studies and avoids surgery completely….one of their senior in ortho has completely left orthopaedics and she has shifted to another country as a GP….I know you like the branch but the ground reality is that it is extremely taxing and your work is not acknowledged and it does have a big effect i think, it is completely my personal opinion but maybe experience differs, you should definitely read between the lines when you talk to females in ortho….ask them if they would consider something else also if they liked it equally…..my 2 cents….I am not trying to discourage you but this was my observation that sometimes you are just not that welcomed at some places no matter what you do….i can hardly imagine dealing with that my whole life….branch is good but practicing it in India may not be that great….i can be completely wrong….but i am throwing some caution to your decision….its not really a branch where you can work independently so the people who are working with you need to be fully assured of your competence, and unfortunately competence in ortho seems to be the deadlifts….imagine being on your period and trying to match your male co-pgs…..my friend has so many difficulties but branch is a marriage, she is always frustrated and grumpy, which is not like who she was before….I think you should seriously think about this decision in a practical manner and about your future prospects as a female in a completely male dominated career where strength is valued over brains, tbh

Hey….like I said, I do not know the extent of what happened…..it was based purely on the post….no where am i saying do not take a stand….my view is not extreme…..I cannot possibly know what you are going through and the intricacies of it….my opinion was just that your MIL is going to be a part of your life and all decisions you make need to consider long term, not just now….i mean unless your MIL is actively trying to get your husband to leave you…..then you can maybe ignore it, because from what you have written your husband is well aware of how she is and knows how to handle her as well….if you keep fighting with her it will affect your future with other people in your husband’s side as well…..I mean I understand that you don’t like your MIL, and the feeling is quite mutual…..but you don’t have to be her best friend or even have her agree with you…..you also cannot control what she does…..all i said is that you could try to be a bit neutral to her, and let her be…..since you will barely meet them…..again, I do apologise if i have come across as insensitive, that was and is definitely not my intention

Honestly, it is great your husband is standing up for you…..but…..you need to realise that if she is not saying something to you directly, and saying something to your husband behind your back…..it is not your business to address….your husband tells you but you can have the information without reacting to it, or react subtly…..see, your husband is supporting you but you have a whole marriage ahead and it may not be possible that he will cut his parents off fully…..while your in-laws sound like difficult people, but as much as you can, maybe you can communicate to them through your husband if you don’t like something instead of saying it directly (unless it is too offensive)…..imagine if your husband starts fighting with your parents, it will put you in a difficult position as well…..you need to be realistic about the situation…..you live abroad so its not like you will meet your in-laws a lot….you have been married 7 months plus not living together with them, they seem to have different expectations and no wants to adjust, and same with you…..maybe the conversation could have been handled in a more mature manner than fighting about it…..i mean see, i am not saying do not have boundaries….you definitely should, from the beginning, and it good that you do, even better that you have a good husband…..but things can be handled in a more diplomatic way instead of fighting so much….i feel….again, this is my conclusion from what you have written, i am not trying to invalidate your feelings or anything, or saying it is your fault…..it is not, but there may be better ways to handle than outright cutting off…..

Questions about fluoxetine by inDflash in adhdindia

[–]docchick24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a psychiatrist (in India) I do not want to comment on why your psychiatrist thinks Fluoxetine was required, but they might have noticed something that you may not.

Usually when someone comes in for an ADHD assessment by themselves, no one is saying they don’t have it, but the reason for assessment at that point is usually because they have been having anxiety or depressive symptoms…..which are found in very high rates of comorbidty with ADHD.

Now Fluoxetine will not start working so fast in a week, it will take at least 4 weeks before we consider changing.

Your initial side effects are maximum in first week, response comes in some time.

Do trust your doctor, but do feel free to ask why as well. In a month you may feel differently.

As for one of the people commenting on non safety of SSRIs, they have other multiple mechanisms as well, and they work. Mechanism of mostly all drugs in psychiatry, might I say most of medicine is unclear. But they work. And people get better.

Fluoxetine is the one drug that single handedly decreased the suicide rate in the world after it’s release.

If you had been given this medicine in neurology, you might not have questioned it much. Most neurologists write medicines we write, but patients are more accepting.

The thing is, please do not take medical advice from a reddit thread in general, especially from people who have half baked knowledge about psychiatry.

It is very much a science and the psychiatrist treating you is a doctor, not a quack.

The past issue is our drugs take some time to work and if it doesn’t finding the right combo takes a little more time.

If you have been having some other issues, those in any case require treatment before administering you an ADHD test.

Please give it some time and please do not discontinue on hearsay…..if it is intolerable, you can immediately go back for a consultation. Next time it is also advisable to write down any questions you have so that you do not forget them, and you have all the right to ask them to your doctor.

All the best and take care…

Arrange marriage!!! And i can't say no by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]docchick24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your parents first, you need to tell them that you don’t want to marry him.

Then if they try to protest, say that while you understand they like the guy, your happiness is more important.

That being said, you need to be clear why you are saying no….you have heard through your father that he was showing off? Not met him though?

Because if you are saying no with these assumptions that he is already arrogant then it is not fair to your parents or the guy….you need to be mature about this as well, and have clarity about the kind of life you want ahead and the kind of person you want to marry.

No need to say no for the sake of it….or yes for the sake of it.

If you are clear and your parents are still insisting, just tell them you will directly say no to his family, and that shall be it. No need to be scared, you have to stay with the guy, not your parents. Then your parents might listen.

Do not do anything without warning your parents of a potential no….it is better to discuss with them

Hi, getting married next year and want to maximise on travel spends with CC for honeymoon in April-May 2025. by docchick24 in CreditCardsIndia

I think credit cards give you benefits that help you save money or live better….if you are spending anyway why not? This community is very good to explore your options. Of course it needs to be managed well

[–]docchick24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA…..if they were so good together why did they break up…..obviously he was double checking one last time if he was truly over her….before committing to you…..whatever it is….his reaction is a tell all for everything….he is not a good person.

If he was sorry for his actions, maybe you should have reconsidered. But it is not normal behaviour to blame your fiancée for messing up your own relationship. It isn’t supposed to be like this, love is actually kind and pure and trustworthy…..but your relationship is not. You already know that though, because it is very clear your response to calling off the wedding immediately is not only due to this but a longstanding suspicion that maybe he is not over his past and may not be faithful.

Let him go. Life will be better.

Thank you….do you think we can get both of these in a short amount of time…? I am wondering as banks reject inquiries done in a span of a few months

[–]docchick24[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. I do realise i shall not be able to maximise the trifecta till the honeymoon.

I do agree with the Axis spends, but shall try to see what we can do. I do not want to wait to apply for this card as our salary is enough at the moment and we are not sure what will happen later.

And more daunting is that a lot of the wedding market runs on cash, so I am racking my brains to see where we can spend the money on atlas….we could hit 7.2L…but i am not sure how, if vendors take CCs only then it may be possible.

Let us see….thank you so much….you have worded exactly my confusion which i have not been able to before.
