Another bright doctor lost. 💔
Dr. Abhishok Dhojey, found dead in his hostel room at BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur. No response to repeated calls. How many more lives do we have to lose before the system wakes up?

🚨 BIG STAND by Maharashtra Medical Teachers against NMC!

Strongly oppose NMC move to include non-MBBS (MSc/PhD) & private practitioners in medical colleges.

Medical education can't be compromised for shortcuts!

📢 Protect quality.

MBBS Interns in UP Demand Hike in Stipend, Call ₹12,000 ‘Exploitative’

MBBS interns in Uttar Pradesh are being paid just 12000 rupees per month. This is one of the lowest internship stipends in the entire country.

In other states, this is what interns are paid:
Assam - 35000
Karnataka - 30000
West Bengal - 29700 to 32000
Delhi - 26300 to 28000
Tamil Nadu - 25000 to 27300
Kerala - 23000 to 25000
Goa and Andhra Pradesh - 20000

Why is UP always at the bottom when it comes to respecting its doctors? The interns and medical students of Uttar Pradesh are demanding a uniform stipend of 26000 to 30000 rupees per month, timely and regular payments without delays, and parity with other states as per NMC norms and minimum wage laws.

Dear @CBIHeadquarters
This is just tip of the iceberg

The NMC has granted permission to many medical colleges with no sufficient patient flow with degrees like DM/MCH/MD/MS worth crores .

“If you investigated each private medical college matter into depth you can extract black money enough to increase the GDP of this nation to 3rd position”!

@DrDhruvchauhan @TheLallantop @saurabhtop Mainstream media is good for nothing. Lot of issues are faced by the youth and students. But media have no sense to raise. Excessive duty hours of resident doctors, non payment of stipend, two shift NEET PG are vital issues. But media is busy in non issues only.

[Indian Doctor🇮🇳 @Indian__doctor]

A disturbing incident occurred at Prasad Medical College in #Lucknow, where resident doctors were brutally #assaulted by a mob of around 50-60 people, including patient attendants, during duty hours.

Another DNB thesis lands in my inbox—joining its MD cousins.

My task is to evaluate it. A formality, really. The postgraduate has written it, the professor has supervised it—or so the paperwork claims.
I enter the username, type the password, and open the file—without hope.

An immaculate PDF appears. Crisp formatting. Polished grammar. Elegant English. Tables aligned with military precision. P-values refusing to cross the 𝘓𝘢𝘹𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘬𝘩𝘢- the 0.05 threshold. It looks like research, but it isn’t science.

There is no question, no curiosity, no wonder. Only data, arranged to pass. Methods are borrowed. Results, brazenly copied. Plagiarism software outwitted. This isn’t scholarship. It’s certification.

What happened?

There was a time when the thesis was a rite of passage—typed line by line, slowly, painfully. Pages corrected, retyped, carried with care and pride. Imperfect, yes, but sincere. Today, a ghostwriter assembles your thesis while you sleep. For a fee, you purchase data and lease your integrity.

Each thesis I read tells the same silent tale: borrowed questions, recycled methods, conclusions without meaning. The student doesn't understand it. The guide doesn’t care. The institution demands compliance, not curiosity.

How did we get here?

First came the software. Then the internet. Medical colleges mushroomed. Degrees multiplied. But the time to teach research disappeared. So did the desire to learn it. The rot spread—quietly, completely, from the top down.

Truth, today, is casualty.

We’ve made deception routine. We've taught our students that science is not a way of thinking, but a passport to the MD exams. That it is easier to fake findings than to ask questions. That looking like a scientist matters more than thinking like one.

This is not just bad science. This is anti-science.

And no one pauses. Not the student. Not the guide. The department head does not care. The Dean looks the other way. The examiner does not blow the whistle.

Not even the journal editor who may one day publish this charade. With in-house journals and institutions chasing publication metrics, every thesis stands a near-certain chance of getting published.

And ignored.

We are not training scientists. We are producing impostors.

We must stop. Scrap the thesis, if we must. Yes, stop them. At the very least, don’t compel students to partake in this parody. Let them learn honesty before technique. Let them fail truthfully, rather than succeed through fraud.

Sir Doug Altman, the British statistician, warned us in the 𝗕𝗠𝗝 in 1994: “𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴.”

He was right then. He is right now.

The publish-or-perish culture lives on. But the tragedy is this: we are publishing—and still perishing.

This is the situation in Dr. KNS Memorial Institute of Medical Sciences, Barabanki Uttar Pradesh. There are five floors in the hospital. Out of two lifts only one is operational. But the PG JR-1, MBBS students and nursing staff are not allowed to use the lift. If used there is a fine of 5000/- rs.

[Dr. Datta M.D. (Radiology) M.B.B.S. @DrDatta_AIIMS]

Someone needs to call out the pathetic situation of medical education in the country. The mushrooming of private medical colleges, owned and operated by relatives of politicians, solely established for extracting money from students and residents, needs to stop before it becomes dangerous to our patients!

[SirKazam {blu tik} @SirKazamJeevi]

What Rekha Gupta wrote in her tweets or did a few years ago is not relevant, we should look ahead

Now let’s discuss what Aurangzeb said and did 350 years ago 😅

[Dr Babu K V @drbabukv]

The @NMC_BHARAT should at least understand that, they have the authority to enforce the regulations regarding PGs and interns stipend

Then half the problem is solved

Who will tell them?

@DrMetamorphosi1 If you can upgrade in round 3, please do, any place is better than here, all residents stay in one single DDR, one washroom in the entire hospital, it will test your sanity and survival skills.

@AbhiAghara81244 @thegooddoctor_0 Well, we could send you our account screenshots, but then our lives would be in danger, considering the chairman keeps a 🔫 on his table when you go to talk to him.
