Fascinated by the human body; terrified by the syllabus. | Final year MBBS @ GMERS Gotri | Documenting my INI-CET & NEET PG prep so I don't lose my mind🩺📚
3rd year is memorizing post-mortem lividity (FMT) and how to build latrines (PSM).
Final year is the terrifying realization that patients are breathing and actually expect you to know things.
I survived the latrines. Here’s why I’m documenting what comes next. 🧵👇
@zahid7052 In my uni a question came like
A person who has taken pre exposure prophylaxis earlier due to his job...now that he presents with grade 3 dog bite.whats the mx?
This is confusing bcz in pre exposure prophylaxis we have not given immunoglobulin,so do we have to give it now or not
Everyone sees "Category III" & clicks "RIG + Full Course." 🤡
Stop. RIG actively harms them here. It neutralizes the antigen before memory B-cells wake up, blunting the natural immune response.
Mgmt: ZERO RIG. Just 2 boosters (Day 0 & 3). 🐕💉
The Window Period 🚨
Classic INI-CET trap:
The burglar has left → HBsAg (−)
But the new locks aren't ready → Anti-HBs (−)
So what’s left?
📹 IgM Anti-HBc (+)
During the window period, IgM Anti-HBc is the key positive marker.
When in doubt, check the footage.
NEET PG / INI-CET: Hep B serology is one of those topics you think you know until a PYQ gives you a combination of + and − signs and your brain just stops working.
There’s a much easier way to make sense of it.
Think of Hep B as home invasion
The Core 📹
Anti-HBc = your security camera footage.
The vaccine contains surface antigen, NOT core antigen.
So:
💉 Vaccine → Anti-HBs (+), Anti-HBc (−)
🦠 Natural infection → Anti-HBc (+)
Core antibody = proof that the real virus showed up.
@DrShauryaGarg In an exam where 2 lakh aspirants are fighting for a few thousand clinical seats, imposter syndrome is your biggest enemy. You literally have to be a little delusional just to survive the mental grind of the prep. Solid reminder. 💯📈
@belzutifan Its such a confidence breaker...and the thought of impending doom of neet pg,like how am I gonna remember every little thing abt 19 subjects at once
