PGY1 MD Radiodiagnosis (UR) and in a constant struggle to work, eat, sleep and study in that order 🤌

🧵

I am starting my residency in Radiodiagnosis in a govt medical college in my 30s.
And apparently, that makes me a problem.
A liability.
A misfit.
Someone who maybe doesn’t deserve to be here.

Thank you for the gift

If this is happening in AIIMS, then what's the situation everywhere else? 😐

[Dr. Nikhil Agrawal @DrNikhilMD]

Threatening to fail students in exams or refusing to sign internship completion is one of the most common weapons used by HODs and professors to force UG students, interns, and residents into personal work and inhuman duty hours.

During my UG days, our ENT HOD used to send UG students/interns to buy vegetables, book Tatkal train tickets, and even deliver copies/books/tiffin to her son at school.

Now I recently heard she is doing the same with PG residents after the department got PG seats.

My guide has asked me to pick a thesis topic myself. Can Seniors please suggest a good, doable thesis topic in Radiology?
Ready to put the hard work.

@DrDatta_AIIMS I am doing my residency in Radiodiagnosis and want do my research in AI and it's application but there is just no way to go about it. How to do work on this. How can AI be help of a clinical Radiologist. And definitely a certificate course would be of great use :)

harsh truth about solo travel:

once you've eaten dinner alone at 9pm in a random place in rajasthan because you felt like it, once you've changed your entire itinerary at 6am because you wanted to, once you've spent 4 hours at top of hill without anyone rushing you...

you can't go back.

group travel feels like babysitting adults who can't decide where to eat.

@RadioDoc_Khushi Sunday off? 😕

@DrKamleshDarji1 Starting my residency at 30 🫥😶‍🌫️

Residency tip:

Strategic seat selection

In seminar, row 1 is a trap - you'll make eye contact with the HOD and suddenly you're defending a WHO classification you last opened in 2019. Last row is equally cursed - you'll fall asleep in 12 minutes, do that embarrassing head-drop-jerk-awake, and everyone will remember. Row 2 is the cheat code. Close enough to look sincere, far enough that the professor's gaze hits Row 1 victims first, and the desk angle gives you perfect phone cover to "check a reference" when you're actually Googling the answer in real time. Plausible deniability is a residency survival skill.
Grossing room placement is equally political. Don't just stand where you can see - stand where the formalin fumes blow AWAY from your face. Read the airflow like a weather report. The corner near the exhaust fan is prime real estate, and seniors already know this - they claimed those spots in year one. Duty room bed selection follows the same logic: never pick the bed near the door, every knock wakes you first, far corner buys you an extra 40 seconds of sleep. Conference hall guest lectures: aisle seat, non-negotiable - you can slip out for chai, a phone call, or a quiet existential crisis without awkwardly climbing over six people and one faculty member who's already judging you. This isn't laziness, it's spatial intelligence.

Why are scrubs so costly online?

[GD @XraytedMD]

And I’m walking it too.
Right now.
Not perfect.
Not early.
But here.
Ready for what’s coming.
Ready for every challenge.
And ready to prove that maybeI am not a liability.

[GD @XraytedMD]

If you feel late ,if you feel out of place,
You’re not behind.
You’re just walking a longer road.

[GD @XraytedMD]

So this time, I am not chasing validation.
I am just working.
One patient.
One scan.
One duty.
One day at a time.

[GD @XraytedMD]

But starting late gives me something different: Perspective.
I have already been the “perfect student.”
And I have already seen that not being enough. The tag of "you did just one thing in your MBBS and still you are the only one one who is left".

[GD @XraytedMD]

Unasked questions i can feel all the time.
“Why now?”
“Couldn’t clear earlier?”
“Will I manage?”
Silence says enough. Mat be I am overthinking, may be I am not.

[GD @XraytedMD]

Now that I finally reach here
(Radiodiagnosis). Govt college of my choice.
I already knew one thing that I will be underestimated.
And it’s already happening.
Not loudly.
But in small, sharp ways.
Seniors who are younger than me,
treating me like I don’t quite belong here.

[GD @XraytedMD]

I watched others move ahead.
Batchmates become seniors.
Juniors overtake me.
And I learned something ranks don’t teach that "how to stay when things aren’t going your way."
