Pov - NMC visit

[Dr Deepak Aanjna @dr_deepakaanjna]

#NBEMS is considering the demand to conduct FMGE 3 times a year, but honestly, I don’t support it.

With the increasing difficulty level, you will get only around 3–4 months after the results, which is not enough to complete the syllabus in depth and revise properly. You may remain stuck in the same loop because something will always be left incomplete, and you’ll keep preparing for the next attempt.

Please think carefully before supporting this demand—it will benefit NBEMS more than FMGs, as they will earn crores more from exam fees, while you may end up stuck in this loop.

Instead, we should demand accountability and transparency in the system rather than focusing on such demands.

NMC calls on medical colleges' faculty for participation in National Patient Safety Conference

https://t.co/S0QyddWguF

Very big fun!! 🤣We may expect NMC to receive ideas from senior toxic faculties who are the generator & promotors of toxicity on patients' safety that are handled by 36 hours to 100 hours over worked PG students with single meal and two hours sleep

They may even argue long duty hours of trainee doctors increases patients' safety levels.

Old toxic unprofessional senior doctors never had any concern on poor patients. Had they had it they won't tolerate such mismanagement of workload and crush young doctors till death and put patients care at risk

Read this carefully , Your 5.5 year MBBS degree will be replaced with a certificate course now .

Maharashtra govt has decided to allow BHMS doctors who complete the Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP) to become eligible for registration with the Maharashtra Medical Council and prescribe modern medicines.
This is one of the most disastrous healthcare policy decisions in recent years.

If 5.5 years of MBBS education, thousands of hours of clinical postings, emergency duties, and a compulsory internship are considered the minimum requirement to independently practice modern medicine, how can a short certificate course be treated equal ?

Funny part is Homeopathic practitioners in Maharashtra are protesting to allow them to practice allopathy .
Indian Healthcare is truly going to Gutter !

What the 😨 !!

NEET PG giving a tough competition to NEET UG now

Be thankful if you already cleared NEET PG
since this time there is a huge 12.5 % increase in candidates adding almost 30,000+ more candidates this year.

The last line is the most important - 8 out of 10 seats are in private medical colleges.

The usual reasoning given for increase in medical seats is scarcity of doctors in rural areas. Let’s be frank here : no one is going to choose to work in a village. Not even students from villages.

The only options left to increase rural doctor supply are

Carrot🥕 - Give quota like TN
Stick 🥢 : hard stick → Bonds

Increase in medical seats is a soft stick.

By increasing supply, government hopes to smoke out doctors from urban to rural areas. This is where the government vs private seat break up in the seat matrix becomes important.

Students in private colleges , especially management quota guys, are rich. They typically have generational wealth / doctor parents who own hospitals. They won’t earn on day 1 either, but they can afford to wait for years till their urban practice picks up. They don’t need to run to some rural area.

If 8/10 doctors entering the pool are like this, the average government college pass out would find it hard to get jobs / start practice. They will have to search for an exit option, even after MD/MS or DM/MCh.

Since there’s a traffic jam in the urban areas, one might think they can exit the country. But even there, government college guys tend to be at a disadvantage. USMLE is expensive and requires contacts. UK is becoming increasingly unattractive. Gulf doesn’t have the capacity to absorb so many doctors. Canada /Australia also have Indian fatigue like other white countries.

This means if you are a middle class guy joining MBBS in government medical college 2026, you will have to study at least a decade after which the only destination left for you will be some village or tier 3 area. Dehat becomes your default destination.

Granted, the other options in India aren’t that great either. However, other courses don’t geo-lock you. And they don’t vaporize the prime of your youth or require you to be married to books the size of an average pillow. There’s no need to write endless competitive exams.

It’s no longer probable that medicine offers a path for upward class mobility. It offers long incubation period, a workplace rife with harassment, abuse and violence, a destination that lacks safety/ entertainment or money and a life with delayed social milestones (marriage, kids, first home, car, vacations).

It appears like the rich have crowded out the not-so-rich from medicine. If you have a missionary zeal to work in some challenging areas or prefer counting blessings over money, then medicine is still a solid option.

If not, read the fine print, before taking a leap of faith. Some roads slam shut behind you.

[Antony Stanley @antonystanley09]

Becoming a doctor remains the ultimate middle-class aspiration. Announcing new medical colleges wins votes and signals "development" to the electorate, even if the job market for MBBS graduates is completely saturated.

Opening a college is easy, staffing it is hard. Resident doctor associations have continuously raised alarms that rapid capacity expansion is outstripping the availability of quality infrastructure and clinical faculty.

India doesn’t have an aggregate shortage of medical students anymore. It has a shortage of specialized infrastructure, qualified faculty, and an equitable distribution system.

Until policy pivots from merely mass-producing undergraduate seats to elevating post-graduate training and ensuring rural retention, this rapid expansion will look less like a structural healthcare solution and more like educational hyper-inflation catering to a vibe.

[Aditya Gupta @DrAditya2935]

Don’t understand the need for increase in MBBS seats.

We have achieved the stipulated 1:1000.

India doesn’t suffer from shortage of doctors- it suffers from concentration of them in dense pockets.

Improve infrastructure in Teir 2/3 towns - not just of hospitals but cities in general - would solve the so called shortages.

Anyhow - all this would fall on deaf ears.

Waise bhi Mujhe kya - PG platforms ke toh maze hi hain.

Why has no action been taken against the HOD and other consultants yet?
Are they not aware of this?
Why have they not broken this toxic cycle for so long?
It’s a huge shame for the medical fraternity that our juniors are treated like shit by our own members.
This image will haunt us for a long time.

Cough syrups to no longer be sold over the counter in India.

The Centre has amended the Drugs Rules, 1945 to remove “Syrups” from the Schedule K exemption for household cough remedies.

The change means cough syrups will now fall outside the exemption available to cough lozenges, pills and tablets.

[Dr Sumer Sethi @sumersethi]

When we first entered the anatomy dissection hall in our first year of MBBS, our professors told us something that has stayed with me ever since: “The cadaver is your first teacher.”

This was a person who made the extraordinary decision to donate their body so that future doctors could learn human anatomy not from textbooks alone, but through a gift of unparalleled generosity.

Every dissection was a lesson made possible by someone’s final act of selflessness. We were taught to approach the cadaver not with fear or indifference, but with respect, humility, and gratitude.

Before we learned from patients, we learned from those who expected nothing in return. They were, and always will be, our first teachers.

Request to everyone to respect those who give to the society with nothing to get in return 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Actually the economics of buying a seat and buying a question paper aren't very different.

In both cases, a mediocre student gets into medicine and comes out, presumably as a mediocre doctor.

They don't have to compete with top doctors or even average doctor. They just take up administrative roles. The Dr tag gives them an insider status and legitimacy.

They can employ the average doctors in their hospitals and laugh their way to the bank.

#NEETPG admissions at –40 marks.
This isn’t about students anymore.
This is the complete collapse of the system.
When standards die, credibility dies.
And healthcare is next.
THEY HAVE MADE THIS WHOLE PROCESS A JOKE!

Medicines with a red line should NEVER be consumed without medical advice. Misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance.

I've said this before. We have more Doctors than required and it is just that they are not evenly spread across the country. The centre continuing to increase medical seats would dilute the value of degree.

WHO ( World Health Organisation) suggest 1 Doctor per 1000 people. In Tamil Nadu, we have 4 Doctors per 1000 people, on par with advanced countries like Norway and Sweden. Ever increasing number of Doctors dilutes the value of medical degree and also earning potential.
