the hardest truth is that life doesn't compensate you for your suffering. you can go through years of pain, lose people, lose time, and still wonder what it was all for. but sometimes things really do change in a single day. one opportunity, one person, one decision and suddenly the years of waiting make sense. keep going. you never know how close you are to the day everything changes.
How it started and how it is going!
The first string galvanometer based ECG invented by Einthoven occupied almost an entire room, weighed 600 pounds and the patient had to sit with leg and hands dipped in salt water. The recordings were imperfect and needed corrections by applying math formulae! Now we have wearables!

This is next-level dedication 👏🔥
An AIIMS intern deliberately skipped questions in the May 2015 PG exam so he wouldn’t get AIR 1 too early… then came back 6 months later and took AIR 1 properly.
Medical entrance exam stories can't be more crazier than this.
Some questions from side of students...
How do they plan their studies??
They go with coachings like marrow/prepladder Or they follow only books??
What brings difference between toppers like this and other students..?
Haha. Thats not even the most crazy story.
See this result. AIIMS May 2015.
You’ll immediately recognize AIR 1. No prizes for guessing who that person is. 😛
But, I want you to look at AIR 3
That person was actually an AIIMS intern - 5 months into internship.
He hid His college and actually didn’t attempt 15-20 MCQs to ensure he doesn’t end up getting AIR 1.
And 6 months later - when actually he was eligible - he did get AIR 1.
FMGE results declared- only 12.38% have passed. Hope our Central Ministry of health looks into this. Pass percentage needs to be much, much higher.
I had the opportunity of working with FMGE CRRIs, when I was posted at Thiruvallur Medical College,& all of them were excellent in knowledge, efficiency and dedication to pts.
FMGE Drs are our children too. Failing them, year after year consistently is extremely cruel. Hope the NMC, & the Central Health Ministry look into this matter with the urgency & importance it deserves. Futures r at stake.
Day 8 | 01.07.2026 | Doctor's Day
ER Triage | 8 AM – 6 PM
Spent Doctor's Day exactly where I wanted to be-inside the ER.
- 1 supracondylar fracture of the humerus
- 1 ovarian cyst with bulky uterus
- Hiccups under evaluation
- 4 assault cases
Still learning & making mistakes.
non medico staff tried to organise a doctors day celebration today but no doctors ended up going cus no one was willing to leave opds, wards & OTs during work hours.
I think that says a lot about what this profession is about.
