A medical student admits to doing something shameful, and soon, modern medical education itself is on public trial.
This tradition is very old.
Every generation of doctors is the worst ever trained. Apparently, previous worst-ever generation somehow trained them anyway.
Can anyone predict at what point will people get tired of these terrible predictions?
Overall solid advice - Tailor it to your specialty and specific life goals.
If you are confident in your skills and satisfied with training, you need to crack on and build a practice.
If you want to learn more/subspecialise, think about how much time you need as an SR.
For those of you who have recently passed the MD/MS exam and want to get into private practice but are doing senior residency, you need to ask yourself some hard questions.
Why are you doing an SRship?
1.You want to learn more
Fair enough. But do you really need three years for that? Wonāt six months or one year suffice?
2.You want to keep the option of getting into a faculty position open
That is a weak reason. By now, you know both the pros and cons of the system. You are probably just delaying a decision by trying to ride two boats at the same time.
3.Because you got an SRship
That is even worse. This is the default approach to a career. You should be doing what is aligned with your long term goals.
As a young doctor, you should be spending your energy building your name and your practice. The comparative comfort that comes with an SR ship also comes at a cost.
In private practice, the earlier you start, the better you become at handling the initial tough months. Do not assume that just because you trained at a big institute, patients will make a beeline for you. Building a practice takes time.
You have to figure out how to build a team, how to handle finances, how to negotiate rent, and above all, how to get patients.
Start early so that you get time to figure out all these aspects.
Quick rules question on Jumla @zainmemon_ : if we play this Conspiracy card, can it be used at the start of our turn so we earn resources from the extra Ideology card, or does it only activate during turn actions (meaning no resources that turn)?
Feel free to check out our @RSNA exhibits are up in Chicago!
While I couldnāt be there, my amazing colleagues are holding the fort and sending me photos. So happy to see thisā¦with a tiny bit of FOMO!

That nobody can define what these are is precisely the reason this fuels (and will continue to fuel) discussions and arguments every day. We all need a solid basis to judge others, and these topics are ripe for the picking.
This is a list of entities that Indian #MedTwitter talks about daily
But nobody can define them or even describe them well
1. Good doctor
2. Terminal subject
3. Best branch
4. Work life balance
5. Good bedside manner
6. Good clinical skills
Please add more

Calling a specialty āA terminal branchā in 2025 is wild.
Endless specialisation ensures that every field keeps splitting into new niches.
Of course, you can always stop but thatās the point - the only thing that terminates your career is you, not a degree or course.
Most students who are picking a āterminal branchā today because they are sick of entrance exam preparations would, in a span of 1ā2 years, start looking for a fellowship or a superspecialisation they donāt need.
Why?
Because doctors, when not sure what to do in life next, usually start preparing for another entrance exam!

Take some time to figure out the how instead of just how much.
When comparing incomes in specialties, remember that š° isnāt made in a vacuum. It comes with its own bill - your time, sleep, family, hobbies, and pieces of your health are all variables.
ā I once thought Iād be a CTVS surgeon until internship showed me what that life demands.
That was the reality check I needed.
Very few first-year dreams make it all the way to the final day of PG counselling.
Some paths fade, and thatās how we find the ones that fit.
Why the fuss over this post?
An iPad is not mandatory. It just makes life easier.
If you can get one, great. If not, wait.
I wanted one in MBBS and only bought it in residency š¤·āāļø
If social media makes you sad about everything you cannot buy just yet, life will be hard.
This is solid šÆ advice. He isnāt telling you to use or avoid a particular source of knowledge (Text books, lectures, Videos or Apps), rather he is telling you about a useful tool and a proven method of learning - Spaced Repetition.
Big fan of Anki

Just got my copy of the @ARRS_Radiology Emergency Department Categorical Course Book - guess whoās the first author of a chapter on fractures in the elderly? š
Really happy this oneās out! Canāt thank @samrad77 enough for his guidance ā and my co-authors for their stellar work!
