@DrAditya2935 Any advice on how to decide between medicine and surgery lol. Ik seems stupid but that's where I'm stuck lol. I like both and at my rank I can get a decent private college for medicine or a pretty good college for surgery

“Doctors are the worst patients,” they say.
I don’t know whether we are the worst patients, but we are definitely not the smartest ones.
A senior and respected doctor from a nearby town had central chest pain about 5 days ago. He dismissed it as “gastritis ” and continued running his busy OPD.
The next day, he developed chest pain again while working out in the gym, but ignored it thinking it was due to lifting weights.
The pain continued over the next few days, and by the 4th day he was unable to operate.
That evening he finally came to us.
His ECG showed an evolved anterior wall MI ,( a major heart attack). Echo showed an LV EF of just 35%. He had already developed Q waves.
Since he still had ongoing chest pain, we took him up for coronary angiogram , which showed a subtotal occlusion of the LAD ,( “widow maker.”)

He underwent successful angioplasty and went home

But this part hit me hard
As his wife , (herself a doctor) was taking him to the ER, patients waiting outside started arguing with her because he was leaving without finishing the OPD.
She literally had to plead with them, saying:
“He is probably having a heart attack… he will see you if he comes back alive.”
And the last thing this poor doctor asked me before discharge was:
“Can I restart OPD in 3–4 days?” 🤦
I’m sure this is the story of many of us in medicine.
We ignore our health and behave as though we are indispensable.
Many cardiologists have succumbed ignoring chest pain. I m sure colleagues on #MedTwitter and #CardioTwitter would have similar experiences !

To the younger doctors on #MedTwitter:
Take things slowly. Play your career like Test cricket, not T20.
Enjoy the little moments of life.
Watch the sunset.
Breathe mountain air.
Cry with your friends.
Read good fiction.
Climb a rock.
Fall in love.
Health and peace first.
Everything else comes next. ✌️

@MANSAFAB There are risks if a woman conceives after 30 years of age and the risks goes on increasing each year after that.Having said that there are a lot of options that women and couples have today in case they want to delay pregnancy, prolong fertility and reduce complications.
