VIDEO | Mumbai, Maharashtra: Educator Dr Vishal Gabale (@VishalGabale), speaking on the NEET-UG paper leak, says, “NEET is an examination that Class 12 students take to get admission into MBBS, and this is such a big examination that not just 10,000 or 20,000, but at least 22 lakh students appear for it.
If in this examination the same problem of paper leaks keeps happening repeatedly, then it raises a very big question mark on the testing agencies. This has happened in 2024 and now again in 2026. Students preparing for this exam do not study for one or two years; they often work hard from as early as Class 7 or 8. They go through a lot of mental stress, and after the exam they feel a sense of relief. Many students are even happy after the exam because they are getting good marks. But because of system failure, if they have to appear for the exam again, they have to go through all that stress once more. Their parents, who work hard and arrange so much money to send them for the exam, face even greater stress if the exam has to be conducted again.”

To the seniors and department heads across institutions:

Leadership is not about authority.
It is about responsibility.

If even one resident reaches a point where ending life feels easier than another duty day, then something in the system has already failed.

And to the juniors listening to this:

Your dignity is non-negotiable.

No degree, no training, and no hierarchy should ever take away your basic human respect.

Medicine exists to heal lives.

It should never push the healers themselves to the edge.

This culture must change.

Now.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

Being a JR2 or JR3 does not give anyone the right to demean, insult, or psychologically break a junior.

Respect in medicine should come from mentorship, knowledge, and compassion — not fear.

If we cannot respect our own colleagues within the fraternity, what kind of profession are we building?

Medicine is a difficult field.
Residency is demanding.

But hard training is not the same as humiliation.

And suffering should never be romanticised as a rite of passage.

Two major systemic problems continue to fuel this crisis:

1. Lack of communication channels between residents and authorities.
Many residents have no safe platform to report harassment or mental distress.

2. Toxic senior-junior culture.
Where ego, hierarchy, and outdated traditions are allowed to overshadow humanity.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

This is not just an isolated incident.

Across many institutions in India, there is a deeply rooted toxic hierarchy culture in medical training.

Where:

• One-year seniority is mistaken for authority
• Juniors are forced to call seniors “Sir” and “Madam” as if they are not colleagues
• Public humiliation is normalised as “teaching”
• Personal attacks and body-shaming are tolerated
• Sleep deprivation and relentless workload are glorified as toughness

Let me say this very clearly.

A one-year seniority does not make you superi

In another incident in the elective OT, she was allegedly publicly shouted at by a senior for being 1–2 minutes late in bringing micropore, a task that is usually handled by OT staff.
She reportedly had a panic attack in the OT and was asked to leave the surgery.

It has also been said that she had repeatedly expressed her desire to leave the department due to extreme stress and a toxic work environment, but her concerns were allegedly not addressed.

What makes this even more heartbreaking is that she is reportedly a gold medalist in General Surgery during her MBBS.

A bright doctor.
A hardworking resident.
Someone who had already proven her excellence.

And yet today she is fighting for her life.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

Today I received multiple messages from resident doctors from IMS BHU, and I was deeply disturbed to read them.

According to the information shared by students, on 12 March 2026 around midnight, a PGY-1 General Surgery resident reportedly attempted suicide and is currently in the ICU fighting for her life.

The details shared by colleagues are extremely concerning.

It is being reported that she had been facing repeated public humiliation, body-shaming, and workplace bullying over a prolonged period.

Despite being unwell with cellulitis, she had reportedly been working continuously in the ward for nearly three days without sleep.

Students have also mentioned incidents that worsened her mental distress.

During an orientation session, she was reportedly told in front of her co-residents that she needed a psychiatric evaluation.

Inside a cocoon, a caterpillar dissolves completely before becoming a butterfly.

From outside it looks like nothing is happening.

Inside everything is rebuilding.

So if preparation feels messy right now —

You’re not stuck.
You’re transforming.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

Stop comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20.

You see:
• Their highlight reels
• Their best mock scores
• Their confident posts

You don’t see:
• Their 2am doubts
• Their failed tests
• Their bad days.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

Another myth students believe:

“If I forget, it means I’m not learning.”

Neuroscience says the opposite.

Forgetting + relearning strengthens neural pathways more than perfect recall.

Your brain is literally rewiring itself while you study.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

If you’re studying hard and suddenly feel like:

• “I know nothing”
• “Everyone else is ahead”
• “I keep forgetting everything”

Good.

Psychology calls this the Dunning–Kruger valley — the moment real learning begins.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

A seed spends months growing underground before you ever see a sprout.

Preparation works the same way.

• Early months → confusion
• Middle phase → deep roots
• Later phase → sudden clarity

Growth is invisible before it becomes undeniable.

#MedicalStudents #Consistency

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

Most students quit mid-preparation because they think they’re failing.

But learning science says the opposite.

In deep study phases you often feel worse before you get better.

You’re not falling behind.
You’re entering the growth phase nobody talks about.

If the system allows students to study medicine abroad, their effort should be respected.

They spent 6–8 years away from home, cleared a tough screening exam, and returned to serve the nation.

Future doctors deserve fair, stable, and respectful policies.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

During COVID, the entire world shifted to online learning — including medical colleges in India.

Students simply followed the rules that existed at that time.

Now years later, many are being asked to compensate for those classes.

This is where the concern begins.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

But returning to India is not easy.

FMG doctors must clear the FMGE screening exam, one of the toughest licensing exams.

Only after clearing this exam can they move toward internship and registration.

They accept this challenge.

#FMGE #LicensingExam #MedicalProfession #DoctorsOfIndia

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

These students spend 6–8 years away from home.

Different country.
Different language.
Different medical system.

Families invest their life savings so their child can become a doctor.

And after finishing their degree… they come back to serve India.

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

First — who are FMGs (Foreign Medical Graduates)?

They are Indian students who go abroad to study MBBS because:

• Government seats in India are extremely limited
• Private medical college fees can exceed ₹1 crore

So students go to countries like Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Philippines.

#FMG #MedicalEducation #MBBS #FutureDoctors

[Dr Vishal Gabale @GabaleVishal]

Thousands of young doctors in India are raising their voices today.
Not asking for shortcuts.
Not asking for special treatment.

They are simply asking for fair and consistent rules.

This is the FMG issue.

Do eggs raise cholesterol?
A 2025 randomized crossover trial (PMID: 40339906) just debunked a long-time myth.

Here’s what they found and why the real issue might be saturated fat, not dietary cholesterol.
