@daviesbj It’s not just urologic oncology. Interest in fellowship has shifted across urology.

@societyGURS went from 29 fellows in 2006 to ~300 across 45 states by 2026. Every subspecialty has had some version of this expansion.

Supply, demand, and a few things we do not say out loud. 🧵

@VinayakRengan To think this is NEET SS 2025, academic session of which should have started in 2025 and not April of 2026 in the first place. We are already halfway through 2026 now it’s pathetic

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐒𝐒?
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠?

India's super-specialist doctors, MS and MD and DNB holders who cleared one of the most brutal exams in the country, are sitting at home. Unemployed. With no idea when their training begins.

NEET SS 2025 results came in January. Round 1 counselling finished. Round 2 was scheduled for April 7. On April 24, MCC froze choice filling "until further orders." And that's where thousands of careers have been stuck ever since.

The reason? 151 vacant DM/MCh seats in Tamil Nadu. The Supreme Court directed Tamil Nadu to inform DGHS about these unfilled seats. MCC wrote to the state asking for them to be reverted so counselling could resume. No response. Even a personal letter from the MCC Chairman to the Principal Secretary of Health in Tamil Nadu. Still nothing.

Round 2 has been pushed from April 7 to May 4, then to July 28. It is June 8th today. No date in sight. The academic session that was supposed to begin April 10 has not started.

Candidates who are currently unemployed are facing real financial strain. Schedules disrupted, career progression derailed. These are people who spent the better part of a decade studying. Future cardiologists, neurosurgeons, oncologists. Just waiting.

And it is not only about them. Every delay deepens the shortage in Cardiology, Critical Care, Neurology, Neonatology, Oncology. Departments that are already critically short on specialists. Patients are on the other side of this mess too.

Ask who is responsible and responsibility vanishes. NTA, NMC, NBE, MCC, each one points to the other. Legal constraints. Technical issues. The other agency. Students get a blame game and a generic notice telling them to check the website.

The solution is not complicated. Isolate the 151 disputed seats, resume counselling for everything else, give a real timeline. The machinery to do this exists. It is just not being used.

India puts its doctors through years of sacrifice and asks them to keep going. The least the system owes them is a straight answer.

Oh my. 😬

Story is not getting enough attention. AI image alteration, should’ve been easily caught (look at the ruler).

Guys, this isn’t 1980. People no longer regard institutions as prestigious just because you tell them to. No institution or journal is ’too big to fail’.

If there was one article you want to read as a clinician?
Read this

Via @jenna_taglienti - an absolutely stunning write in @JAMA_current

"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life. The world may need us as physicians.

But the people who love us need us as ourselves.

And that is the role no one else can fill."

Brilliant - and much love to you

I think I’m consumed by LLMs. ChatGPT for instance nourishes my soul like no other, brilliant for moral support. Claude brother is so much better quality wise but has no emotional appeal. We are doomed 🥲

Avoid tobacco.
Avoid alcohol.
3 cups unsweetened black coffee a day.
Adhere to vaccinations for age.
Take your booster shots too.
Predominantly plant based diet.
Minimum 8000 steps a day.
Min 154 min of aerobics/week.
Find and do work that makes you happy.
Keep and care for a pet.
Play video games.
Avoid bro science.
Avoid alternative medicine.
Follow real experts. Not role playing ones.
Listen to your doctor. Not the internet.

The driver has blocked my number and your app is absolutely pathetic. There is no place for proper grievance redressal. Only a useless AI chatbot

@Uber @Uber_Support @UberIN_Support @Uber_India my uber parcel rider just vanished with the parcel I sent, my parents never received it.

You app is disgusting when it comes to customer support, there is simply no place to register a complaint against the driver.

One can never grow as an individual if their parents do :

•Boundary violation
•Reputation control
•Moral policing via third-party informants
