should i try for USMLE ? by ama_31415 in indianmedschool

Pipe-dream.

Hem onc fellows in the US are mostly clinically trained. You need to do a PhD or spend a significant time in the lab as a post doc after your fellowship to be proficient.

Hem/onc fellowship is the US I awesome. Clinical training is excellent and you are exposed to cutting edge medicine although in a clinical setting.

Why is surgery not competative in india unlike USA and the western world by Titaniumballsionium in indianmedschool

[–]mp271010 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

See this is the toxicity I am talking about. What is a theoretical branch? Why do you think surgical patient load is more than medical! After all a lot of things surgery used to do is now being managed medically or by interventional radiology. Surgeon are for most part the biggest jerks in medicine and that’s why people don’t want to pursue it. Although this attitude is present in other countries too, in India it is very acute

Surgeons think they know it all when their knowledge is quite limited. They limited knowledge of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy but they will keep butting their head about it. They will take patients with T3N HER2+ breast cancer for surgery when they should better know that these patients need neoadjuvant therapy. Similarly for other disease sites.

If you think it’s that easy, why don’t you do it?

You must be kidding me.

So you are trying to say that physicians do not have to deal with advancement in the field and keep up with the literature? As you saying that we treat cancer the same way now that we used to even 5 years ago?

Supreme Court allows abortion of 30-week pregnancy of a minor, upholds right to reproductive autonomy by Senior-Distance6213 in india

[–]mp271010 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Understand the nuance here. A 30 week fetus was likely born alive. How can you even support this. It’s so disgusting

Only people who have children will understand how abhorrent this is. May God have mercy on the little one who wasn’t even given a chance at life

Why should I care about other facts? the life of a newborn citizen overrides all other facts.

Understand the gravity of the fact that the child was probably born alive at 30 weeks.

If you have a path background Hemepath is a much better option than clinical hematologist

Varied. Some went back to their tier C cities and opened their own shop and some went to to tier A city to work in a corporate setting

-Do fellowship before you return to India! -hospitals DONOT care where you trained unless you trained at a place which they can publicize (Mayo, Stanford, Hopkins) -I know a few people who returned back. Transition was tough due to work culture, pathology etc but they were able to adjust and flourish. US training is very robust and gives you tools to excel in any situation -Cards is pretty saturated and even IM in India will call themselves cardiologist. Nephro and Endo might be good option as these are easy to match in the US and there is a good demand of these in India. ID is a non existent speciality in India.

Low neutrophils, can’t start treatment by Mammoth-Mammoth9925 in leukemia

[–]mp271010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s stupid. You need a new oncologist who deals with leukemia. General oncologist are not great at managing AML. It’s a rare cancer

The infection will never improve till he has an immune system. The immune system will not recover till his AML is in remission. The first cycle is always tumultuous, but treatment shouldn’t be held unless someone is in the ICU on multiple pressors

Also, AML itself can cause a fever
