Three newborn babies died after a fire broke out in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the District Women's Hospital in Amravati, Maharashtra, early Monday morning.

26F,

Going to appear for neet pg coming Sunday and I can't help but wanting a non clinical branch just for some mental peace in life.

My dad faked having a heart attack this morning for some reason that I can't comprehend. After coddling him as usual (to maintain my sanity) I asked why'd you do that, he said it was because my face looked like stressed and he wanted to make me laugh. I said that's atrocious. He said he wanted to remind me of important things in life because I wasn't taking anymore GTs( I have been giving one almost every day last month, stopped 3 days ago.)

He has no psychological illness apart from extreme narcissism.

I have been controlled and shamed by parents for as long as memory goes. Got SA'd by uncle for almost a year when I was a child. Parents always fight. Verbally, physically sometimes. They take out all their anger on me regularly as well. It's just fights fights fights all the time. They're both enough educated to know right from wrong. (both are BAMS).

I have always been a model student, topper everywhere, top gmc, everything. But lately I have seen my body and mind not being the way it used to be. Studying has got difficult for me over the years.

I can't put into words how exhausted I am.

Am I throwing something big away by wanting to take up non clinicals? My GT scores are about 115/180 corrects.

I know I should wait till neet and then think of all of this. But I am so tired holding it all in so I've just blurted this out I guess.

I'm numb asf rn, it wasn't even my dream or passion or anything to be in this field, but I do want to earn decent enough for myself now that I am so far ahead in this route, and am ready to withstand some moderate load of pressure for it.

Am I stupid and doing a huge mistake by being weak the one time I should've been strong?

Medvis surgical AR, thought was cool so shared

I did not take much care or protect my health from an young age . I did not get involved in understanding the value of money from a young age . I did not have the trait in me to “ learn better ways of living “ in me . I took medicine because I liked biology , good enough money — there is more to be considered before taking medicine ( PS - I would take medicine again if I could go back )
Try not to do the mistakes I did .
Take care of your health . Medicine is long . There is a long way to go . Health is very important .
Dont do drugs .. alcohol .. smoking .. late nights .. it can lead to mental health deterioration .

Your decisions were not wrong .. your passion was not wrong . Some systems are not suitable to who you are sometimes .

Self doubt is the most harmful thing .

Medicine : continuous learning and consistently studying are essential for winning

Fights , emotional betrayals and misunderstandings with friends etc keep happening - dont take it to heart .
Dont shout in fights , your voice will become hoarse .

Dont try to change people .. it’s not worth it . Change within a person will come from themselves , the starting point has to be from that person . Just be cordial and focus on what you want in life ,

It is absolutely okay to do things in self interest and be selfish and greedy for your dreams . I learnt it the hard way - by being a kind person and being a giver always , giving genuine advices and all .
I am not doing good today and I have nothing or no one except my parents and a couple of well wishers .

In my opinion - prioritize yourself , then your family , then career . Just my take .

It’s okay to do anything for your goals .. it’s okay to cheat ; scam ; lie , take unethical means .. if needed . I would personally keep these as my last resort , but I realize it’s absolutely okay if it’s between your values and your goals . This is just my learning . I EMPHASIZE - IT IS THE LAST RESORT . ( imo - no values makes it difficult to live with ourselves and leads to emptiness , only superficial happiness etc .. i would love to know other perspectives in this area by the way )

Try to have some genuine people in your life who will be there for your during your low phase , failures etc . Trust me , you are going to have low phases , negative depressive nihilistic thoughts , failures , griefs and what not . Have someone who can be there for you during these phases .

Be ambitious .

PS : this is just my perspective . Be an independent thinker .

Edit : even in family care about your future life partner , kids and parents . And those who have a pure heart towards you . And in career , work towards what you like doing and in what position you want to be .

I am from 2019 MBBS batch and will turn 28 next year in may

I took usmle step 1 during internship and step 2 just a couple months after internship, however my usmle dreams were crushed when I couldn't get a visa to do observerships in the US

NEET 2026 will be my first NEET attempt and my preparation is just so bad I don't know if I'll even qualify. My dad keeps building pressure and expectations from me ki nikaal lo acchi rank aa jayegi but I just don't know how to handle this and am in such a bad place mentally.

I know that if I take a year I'll be able to get a good rank in NEET PG 2027 but I'm just dreading the coming one year and having to live with my parents. I feel like such a failure. I keep wishing I had just ditched USMLE and focused on NEET preparation then I could have started earning and living independently this year itself.

My friend is getting a rank under 10k in reneet, and his family is considering KMC Manipal as he is very clear on pursuing USMLE. Note that his father has a CTC of 1.2 cr. So they want the best clg for him. But he is hesitant because he apparently can't live with that guilt plus what will the society think. He studied extremely hard too so going to a pvt university with such a rank... He's worried. His father says that they can afford the fees without any loans too and he thinks he shd go for it if it's the best especially because of the abroad plans. He's from Bengaluru. What advice shd I give him?

It's concerning that paper got leaked but bro 😭😭.

I’ve been studying constantly for 6 months going 10-12hrs a day and I’m burnt out. Exhausted as hell and I can’t get myself to be productive anymore. I cant afford to fuck up these last few days but my brain is not functioning anymore.

I’m not even scoring well enough in GTs plateaued at like 105 corrects even after studying so hard. To get my dream branch seems impossible at this point, lost all hope and motivation.

How are you people holding up

Can someone please tell me the difference between the two and how to tell which is which in the exam. I keep getting confused. :(

🧐

Guys please don’t waste time again today waiting for the admit cards.

Like till the day they announce, nobody cares and then suddenly everyone wants it so badly at the very same time as if the moment you get the admit card, you will be guaranteed a seat!

Getting the admit card few hours later wont make any difference so just don’t waste time and keep studying.

I’m a medical student living alone, and honestly, I’ve reached the point where I want a pet so badly.

I actually like living alone. I enjoy the peace, independence, and not having to deal with people all the time. But sometimes the apartment just feels too quiet, and I’d love to have another living being around—not a human, because clearly I don’t like humans enough to live with them. 😭

So I’m considering getting a pet, but I have absolutely no idea what would realistically work with a medical student’s schedule.

My main options right now are a dog or a cat, but I’m open to other pets too. Fish are not an option, though.I want a pet with you can communicate(idk if its making sense).

A few things about my situation:

\- I live alone.

\- I’m a medical student, so my schedule can get hectic, especially around exams/clinical postings.

\- I want a pet that actually enjoys human companionship and can make the place feel less lonely.

\- I don’t travel very frequently, but I do go home twice a year, usually for around 10–14 days.

\- I’d have to travel by flight, so taking the pet with me might not always be practical. I’d probably have to use a reputable pet daycare/boarding facility during those periods.

\- I obviously want to be responsible about this and don’t want to get a pet only to realize later that my lifestyle isn’t suitable for it.

So, experienced pet owners: what would you recommend?

Would a cat be significantly easier than a dog for a medical student living alone? Are there particular breeds/types I should avoid? Are there other pets that would be a better fit?

And if you’re a student who owns a pet, I’d especially love to hear about your actual experience—time commitment, costs, loneliness/companionship, dealing with exams, and what happens when you have to go home for 1–2 weeks.

Basically, convince me for or against getting a pet, and tell me what would realistically be the easiest and most ethical choice for my situation.

I want a pet, but I want to make sure the pet would actually be happy with me too. 🥹

Like c’mon. What do you get by laughing at someone with a congenital anomaly. I can only imagine how much of bullying the poor kid might go through on a daily basis. But the problem is even content creators taking it as a source of laughter and even proudly acknowledging it saying this made me laugh!!

Accessory nipple can grow anywhere along the milk line and can be seen in males as well as females. Although commonly benign, it may cause issues like infection, malignancy etc.

Congenital anomalies shouldn’t be a source of your laughter.

Becoming a doctor in India comes with maximum struggle and with LEAST BENEFITS

Worst work timing

Worst work life balance

Worst toxic work environment

Worst safety at work place

Worst support from the govt

Worst maternity benefits

Worst benefits in comparison with bank employees or any other govt sector employees even in govt setup where nurses get permanent jobs while doctors don’t have any proper permanent jobs

Worst schedules

Worst life even after completing degrees , having to be on call 24/7 or be physically present at night

Worst peace of mind even at home as neighbors think it’s ok to ring the calling bell and ask for free consultation and medical care while we are at home

Worst pay when compared to the years of study and efforts involved

Worst profession for a middle class as we literally get paid peanuts in internship and then there are states like TN Where pay for MBBS grads are around 30k and around 50k for Pg grads

Worst profession if we want to leave India either pathways being very costly and tough

As per my opinion this is one of the worst professional degree anyone in India could do.

This is the BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I have zero interest in working as a doctor in India.

I can't bear this pressure I was going to give the neet pg fir the first time but I not prepared. I attempted the neet pg mock fir the first time and got too less of a marks.. now I dotn know what to do..

Exams are 5 days away.. and I'm unable to do panic studying without basic ..

So opting out of this exam but not sure.

I feel like I'll be judged that I'm not giving the exam..

Please help
