[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

A Mumbai govt hospital advised a pregnant woman's family to consider transferring her elsewhere, as pre-delivery fetal assessment indicates her newborn will likely require NICU care, and all of their NICU beds are currently occupied.

The woman's husband called Shiv Sena (Shinde) corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who arrived with his goons and assaulted doctors and nurses.

If you understand how hospitals work, you'll know a bed not being available is not the doctor's fault. You can't ask another critical newborn to vacate a bed, nor can you provide NICU care on the floor, nor can you "arrange bed from some other dept" because a NICU bed isn't just a bed, it comes with ventilators, monitors, oxygen, infusion pumps, and other life-support equipment.

So the blame, if any, goes on the govt. But doctors are the easiest targets, and assaulting them earns politicians easy political mileage.

I know some will say, "Doctors are evil and deserve it," and that's fine. I'm not seeking sympathy. This post is for parents and medical aspirants. Unless your parents own a hospital, you choose govt jobs with better working conditions like the Army, paramilitary, or Railways, plan to pursue USMLE (or an equivalent pathway), or intend to move to private practice where you can arrange your own security, think carefully before choosing this profession.

Most govt hospitals are hellholes. You can serve patients well for decades and still end up being abused or assaulted by a tenth-pass corporator, a publicity-hungry politician chasing cameras, or patient relatives who think every death could have been prevented if only the doctor had "tried harder."

If a corporator thinks it’s okay to beat up a doctor, then the next time there’s a pothole in a road in his area, is it okay to beat him?

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

62% of Indian resident doctors work more than 36 hours at a stretch. 86% report severe sleep deprivation. 97% earn less than an entry level civil servant. 76% are assaulted while on duty.

We can call ourselves civilised only when we learn to treat our doctors like they treat us.

#WATCH | Dombivli, Maharashtra: Kalyan Court rejects the plea of Shiv Sena Corporator Ramesh Mhatre, prime accused in the case involving the assault on doctors and nurses at Dombivli's Shastri Nagar Hospital, for production through video conferencing. He is at Thane Civil Hospital following his arrest.

His counsel, Ramesh Pathki says, "Until and unless his fitness certificate is given by the doctor and doctors consent that he can be taken, he will remain confined with the doctors. Court has presuemd that he is neither arrested nor produced before them, until and unless he is physically produced before them...Video conferencing application has been rejected."

Does the system truly care about patient care and doctors' mental health?

Today is 3rd July. Round 2 results were supposed to be out on 7th April.
80+ days of hardship — unemployment, financial crisis, mental exhaustion.
Still no single update. Still no initiative from @FordaIndia , @FAIMA_INDIA_ and other bodies
We are completely abandoned.

[DrSaranshVerma @DrSaranshverma]

Dear @MoHFW_INDIA and @DghsIndia,
If Tamil Nadu does not revert the 151 vacant Super Specialty seats, what is the stand of the MCC and DGHS?

NEET_SS is a national-level entrance examination. Aspirants appeared based on All India merit, not state merit.

Thousands of doctors are waiting for clarity.

#NEETSS, India's highest-level medical entrance examination, was conducted 6 months ago.

Yet, thousands of aspirants continue to wait endlessly.

• There is no accountability in the counselling process.

• There is no clarity on the commencement of academic sessions.

NEET SS 2025 counselling stalled.
Government/NMC/MCC are mute spectators.
Hon'ble Judges on summer vacation.
Thousands of Specialists Doctors are forced to sit idle.
What a mockery of the system?

Heartfelt thanks to @FordaIndia @FAIMA_INDIA_ @IMAIndiaOrg @UDF_BHARAT
For being perfect spectators and staying completely silent while we suffer 80+ days of #NEETSS delay
Your silence is truly the best Doctors’ Day gift we could have asked for.

For NEET SS aspirants, every announced hearing date now feels like a trailer for the next hearing date.

Careers paused. Jobs delayed. Lives on hold.

But the outcome remains the same: tareekh pe tareekh.

7 months since #NEETSS exam.
Still no Round 2 schedule. Still no resolution.
@FordaIndia & @FAIMA_INDIA_ — it’s time to call for a nationwide strike. Withdraw elective health services across India.
We have lost everything. Our careers are destroyed.
@NbeIndia @MoHFW_INDIA

[Dr. Jyoti Mehta @DrJyoti559411]

6 months after NEET-SS results, thousands of doctors remain unemployed due to delayed counselling.
If not resolved urgently,a national wide doctor’s strike may become inevitable.
Urgent intervention is needed!!!!!

Respected Sir, healthcare needs specialists, yet thousands of NEET-SS qualified doctors have been waiting over 6 months for counselling.
Your intervention can help safeguard both doctors’ careers and patient care.

Do the Centre and State truly care about India medical specialists?
Request a virtual meeting between @CMOTamilnadu,@TNHealthDept And
@NMC_IND,@MoHFW_INDIA
to urgently resolve the ongoing NEET-SS issues.
These bodies are meant to solve problems, not remain mere spectators to court proceedings. Immediate coordination and decisive action are needed.

Superspecialist doctors unemployed and waiting for joining for 6 months after clearing NEET SS: Not worth a prime-time mention.
