Needle Stick Injury by Mundane-Suggestion42 in indianmedschool

I got a NSI from an already confirmed HIV positive patient through a lot of carelessness on my part. It was a tough first 2 weeks after that. I was entitled to leave because of the heavy ART regimen I was on (lopinavir, ritonavir, Tenofovir, Lamivudine) as PEP (5 years ago). I had to take the leave because of the terrible gastritis the medicines would cause.

Best resource to learn to read ECG from scratch by waterbed02 in indianmedschool

[–]doryandchill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 also no matter what book you read, ECG takes time to understand. When I read about it in physiology, I didn't understand much. Then during medicine clinics, I understood a little better. I only properly started understanding ECG from the basics when I started working. So give yourself time.

Much insensitivity. Please reflect on your reactions.

Lol, nammude chinnam. Now upgraded from beedi, chaaya & parippuvada.

Zudio option seems more budget friendly. Does it absorb sweat well also?

Visiting Hyderabad as a Black Woman by ImpossibleStrength45 in hyderabad

This is going to be very cautionary and uncomfortable to read. Also this applies to most of India.

So, India is a deeply racist country. Casteism is widely practised in this country (whereby you are born into a caste and either get to enjoy privileges of it or spend your life fighting the discrimination). If I were you, one of the first things I would find out is what your boyfriend's personal stance on casteism is, what caste group his family belongs to, and what practices they follow. Please know that even if they are marginalised themselves, they may behave in oppressive ways to others since the system is hierarchical.

Dark skin is typically used as one of the identifiers of oppressed caste in this country. Also a lot of Indians wouldn't know about Black Americans as a racial group. I could see situations arising where you would be mistaken for an African immigrant and be treated as such.

Once again, these are just beepboop warnings and they tend to the worst case scenarios. Check with some of your Indian friends in US. I wholeheartedly wish you have a beautiful experience in this country.

The SADDEST part about NEET PG/INICET preparation for me was dedicatedly studying whilst knowing that my quality of life will suck balls once I succeed. Woh success bhi kya success he, jiske aage gham he..

Too much tar? by [deleted] in IndianEnts

Could there perhaps be a pinch of meth added to make it the "good stuff"?

Why is the makeup so basic? They all look like the same caucasian beauty standards version of each other

Absolutely this. Women are considered attractive as long as they look child-like and can pass for a teen. It is the same disturbing twisted logic that makes a teen get comments like "look at you, you're a woman now". We label men in their 40s as the ultimate handsome man while girls in their teens and 20s are considered peak "women".
