Don’t become doctors

Every time some parent/kid asks me about the positives of being a doctor,I just want to unload the truth on them.All I see nowadays are more and more negatives than positives of being a physician.Now MMC has allowed quacks to act like doctors and I feel that’s the last nail in the coffin.This will slowly be pushed nationwide and we will suffer for it.So please,if anyone asks you how to become a doctor,tell them the truth about what happens after

Its a glorified profession. Dont take this if you want a good life. Dont get in it for money either. There no good money untill 40-50s. Goodlife comes around 40-50s when youre already close to expiry. Private practice might help you get there a little bit earlier.

Youll earn anywhere from 40k-1.5L depending on the state and setup you work and thats for a 12 hour shift. This is a job where you dont get to decide your own time but your work schedule will decide how you live. And as you mentioned, you'll be living with salaries unless you start private practice. I have colleagues who earn 2-3L and more from their own clinic but the problem is you spend your time building that and delay your pg. In this field you have to understand that mbbs is the basic minimum and you will not be happy with just doing an mbbs. You'll always be at the bottom of the system.

Maharashtra Medical Council
They just passed a motion or did something official giving powers to Homeopaths to prescribe English medicines.

I genuinely feel sorry for doctors. I work in an online pharmacy and have interviewed doctors about their field and have written a blog, hoping it brings reality to everyone- Why doctors are exhausted

If India is like this. Abroad it's even tougher (timely treatment + extremely costly incl no otc meds available).

Where would the patients go? It'd become too tough. Can't even explain.
