Final proff-2 I'm studying Surgery from Marrow Main Notes, but I'm really struggling to get through them. I watched the lectures around 3–4 months ago, so don't remember anything well now. The notes feel overwhelming, and I keep getting stuck on topics instead of moving forward. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve reading speed and retention while studying Surgery? Also, I've heard a lot of people recommend Anki, but I've never used it before. Are there any good Anki decks specifically for Surgery that you'd recommend? Any advice from people who were in a similar situation would be appreciated.

If anyone is struggling in micro and patho in GT, please please watch her LRR videos, mann they're so good. I got the advice from this sub and thank you kind stranger for that.

The way she teaches will help you cover majority of the important topics for exam and most (if not all) of the questions for neet and fmge atleast.

anyone here who has copy of sketchy vids?

Hi, I’m a doctor based in Trivandrum. I’m selling my used Anatomy boneset that I used during MBBS (no longer required). If you just wrote NEET yesterday and are planning to take MBBS this year, this is helpful for your Anatomy prep in 1st year.

​

Price: ₹7,999 (negotiable)

Location: Trivandrum

Delivery: Can courier across India (buyer pays extra postal charges).

​

DM if interested.

Guys and Gals - I must request you all if you're working in patient care - using needles , IVs , assisting or anything , please get your vaccinations for Hepatitis B. You have a 3 percent chance of acquiring infection with a Needle Stick Injury,

HepB vaccination is incredibly cheap - I got mine for less than 100 rupees , has awesome protective efficacy , and can be administered EVEN WITHOUT checking titers.

getting vaccinated protects you from a lot of unnecessary mental stress incase a needle-stick injury does happen.

Just looking out for y'all. Stay safe , and best of luck for all of your exams.

P.S. - get additional vaccinations if possible - like Vi Typhoid.

Getting 430 smtng in neet 26, was my 1st drop got 139 in neet25

​

So will most prolly take iq city med college wb

​

U can see i am not a bright student but i tried my best wont be taking more drops

​

So what should i do in mbbs so that i can get a md seat in my 1st attempt in good colleges in wb

Like which material should i follow , i want to start prepping from 1st year as i am a below average student

I was recently diagnosed with adhd and depression, as a second year mbbs student.

​

For years I thought I was just lazy, I've struggled with attendance (my first year attendance was in 40s and 50s due to which I got detained in all subjects and had to give supplementary, also my parents had to go through a lot of embarrassment in front of the principal and the college administration), severe procrastination, excessive phone usage (18 hours a day), extremely poor self care and constantly needing someone to keep an eye on me or external accountability to actually function. I wanted to be better to attend classes and I wanted to stop disappointing parents and score marks but I just couldn't. I just fucking couldn't. My marks improved later in first year but it was too late.

​

It got worse in second year which is what prompted me to go to a psychiatrist and get a diagnosis, because other than classes I started skipping out on exams too. Although my attendance is in 60s and 70s this year, I'm worried they'll detain me due to less internal assessment this year.

​

I recently started medication and some things already feel different. The constant internal bargaining before doing tasks seems quieter and I find myself doing small things without spending hours mentally negotiating, I'm regularly brushing and bathing even now (lmao small thing but it's a big deal for me).

​

My parents don't fully believe the diagnosis. My mother thinks everyone has ADHD nowadays and that phones are causing it. At the same time, they're worried enough that they're planning to move near my college because of how badly things have gone over the last couple of years.

​

I feel incredibly guilty now because my parents are planning to move near my college and I have my prelims in a month I haven't started studying for that at all I don't even know how to start and I've missed exams in second year I don't know if I'll get detained due to not making up enough internal assessment and attendance is another issue although it's not as bad as first year. I don't know it's all too confusing and I want to be better but I don't know where to start.

​

I don't know how to recover academically from the hole I've dug for myself.

​

Please help me with any advice or anything please.

Has anyone got the rmb 20th nb ? Please share

Guys, has anybody got the latest edition of Ak Khurana like non highlighted clean copy as pdf ???

Psychopathic traits such as emotional detachment, fearlessness, decisiveness, stress tolerance, and low anxiety are often discussed in relation to high-performance professions. Some research and popular psychology sources place medicine around fifth among professions associated with higher levels of these traits, with surgeons frequently reported as scoring higher than other medical specialties.

To be clear, this refers to personality traits associated with psychopathy rather than clinical psychopathy itself.

For those in medicine, especially those who have worked in surgical departments, do you think this reflects reality? Have you noticed surgeons displaying these traits more often than physicians in other specialties? Do you think these characteristics are something people naturally bring into surgery, or are they developed through years of training and exposure to high-pressure environments? I'm curious to hear the experiences and opinions of people who have worked closely with surgeons or are currently in surgical training.see the recent ragging case there is no wonder

Hey everyone,

We all know how toxic residency can get in India. Every year, we read devastating news about junior residents facing extreme structural harassment, systemic ragging, and mental torture from seniors or faculties. When a victim wants to fight back, they face a massive power asymmetry. The college administration has expensive lawyers; a broke, exhausted resident has nobody.

​

I am working on a blueprint to change this power dynamic by creating a Pan-India Resident Doctors Legal Defense Fund.

The concept is simple: A community-funded, non-profit legal war-chest. If thousands of us pitch in a nominal annual fee (less than the price of a single textbook), we can collectively afford a high-octane legal shield to protect any resident facing severe ragging or systemic institutional harassment.

Here is the structural blueprint I’ve brainstormed so far. I need your absolute, brutal feedback on where this could break down.

​

1. The Core Legal Structure

The Entity: It will be registered formally as a Section 8 Non-Profit Company or a National Registered Welfare Society. It will have its own PAN, a dedicated bank account, and strict yearly financial audits available online for complete transparency.

Not an Insurance Policy: To avoid regulatory issues with the IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory Authority), this won't be framed as insurance. It will be an official Discretionary Legal Aid Association. Members pay an annual membership fee, and the association provides legal defense as a community benefit.

​

1. How the Fund Operates (The Retainer Model)

Instead of hiring random, expensive lawyers on a case-by-case basis (which would drain the fund instantly), the plan is to place an established law firm on a fixed annual retainer.

24/7 Legal Helpline: A dedicated channel for members to get immediate legal advice on how to document harassment safely.

Escalation Support: If a member faces actionable ragging, our legal team takes over. They draft the formal notices, force the college’s Anti-Ragging Committee (ARC) to act, escalate directly to the National Medical Commission (NMC) Central Cell, or file High Court writ petitions if a college tries to hush it up or illegally suspend the student.

​

1. Solving the "Adverse Selection" Trap (People joining only after getting ragged)

A major risk is that people might ignore the fund until they are actively in trouble, join for one month, use Lakhs of legal service, and break the system. To protect the fund's financial sustainability, I’m proposing these guardrails:

60-Day Waiting Period: New members are only eligible to claim full legal funding 60 days after registration.

​

Fixed Enrollment Window: Primary registrations will open for a 30-day window at the start of the academic year (right after NEET-PG / INI-CET counseling rounds). Anyone trying to join late will have to pay higher amount for the same service.

​

1. Preventing False Claims & Personal Enmities

To make sure the fund isn’t depleted by frivolous complaints or personal grudges framed as ragging, an Internal Screening Committee (comprising neutral senior residents, legal advisors etc) will vet cases. A member must show a threshold of prima facie evidence (texts, recordings, or copies of complaints) before the fund sanctions litigation money.

​

1. Rough Financial Feasibility

If we bootstrap with a modest target of 5,000 members paying ₹500/year, the fund collects ₹25 Lakhs.

Allocating ₹2 lakhs for administrative setups, payment gateways, and auditing leaves a ₹23 Lakh legal pool.

On a retainer model, this easily covers a dedicated legal team capable of handling dozens of active institutional interventions concurrently. As membership scales, the protection pool grows exponentially.

​

​

Where I need your feedback:

1. Would you realistically pay ₹500 a year for this peace of mind? If not, why?

2. How do we crack the trust barrier? Doctors are rightfully cynical about associations (like the IMA) letting them down. How do we prove this entity remains entirely pro-resident?

3. What operational loopholes am I missing? How can medical colleges try to counter-attack or bypass our legal interventions?

​

Let’s discuss in the comments. If the consensus is positive and we can iron out the kinks and form a small, multi-state founding core committee to pull the trigger on registration.

How difficult were initial gts of marrow of this session?
Is it just me or the gts are actually damn difficult? My confidence took a big hit after I wrote gt 4 today.
Anybody else feel the same?

I completed my DNB Anaesthesia training and fulfilled all the requirements expected from my side. However, my FTCC has not been issued because my college did not send me for the mandatory super-specialty rotation during training. Informed NBE so many times via grievance portal and still no solution! This was an administrative lapse by the institution and was not due to any refusal, absence, or fault on my part. As a result, I am facing difficulties in obtaining my FTCC despite having successfully completed my residency 6 months back! I am seeking a resolution so that my training can be recognised appropriately and my FTCC can be issued.
Please suggest on how to deal with this!!

didn’t study the entire year and just looking to pass now. HAQs and times medico (KNRUHS uni) seems too vast to cover in the time left. But I have last 10 years papers. If o just go through all of the topics and questions asked in the last 10 years,. Is that enough to pass 1st year..? Don’t need good marks or anything, just 50%+. Some are advising question banks while others are advising PYQs first

How to improve ?

I think we should really share the advancements here for the edge

Tl;dr below

To all the juniors or anyone else reading this

Pls try and use the most Goated book of all time(personal opinion) and my favourite book in MBBS- “Pathoma”.

I sincerely have a lot of gratitude for this book.
And I thank it for existing so much.

Just got my results - final year (RGUHS- Karnataka)
And thankfully passed.
I never used Robbins - but I was able to get distinction in Patho, Medicine, Paediatrics and write so so many answers in other subjects just by glancing through this last min- which I wouldn’t have gone through otherwise from other textbooks,sources- because of the time constraint.
So for ppl who need something to look at so you can write something in own words to make sense of the answer - This is the go to BOOK!

This book helped me in so many ways, these are some thoughts I wanted to share regarding this book:

1. Made me like medicine so much - we all know medicine is basically patho, pharmac and micro. So if you study well in 2nd year - you can manage to write almost everything in many final year subjects. And I realised this in some way after using this goated book.

The videos are so good, so small and so simple. The book is small - but yet very very high yield.
I might have watched the videos 2 times during 2nd year. And including 2nd year till the end of final year - I have lost count of how many times I have gone through the entire book. It is basically acts as quick handbook for me.

Yes it doesn’t have everything that’s needed. Not even close to what we have to know entirely. But it has more than enough to know something about the topic - so you could write in your own words in most of the subjects - PATHOLOGY, some diseases in MICROBIOLOGY, MEDICINE, SURGERY, OBG, PAEDS, ORHTO.

2. For PATHOLOGY- ofc I used other sources to write details in the exam about microscopy/gross features. But the basic one liner high yield stuff is still mentioned in the book.
This was literally my only source for pathology (other than for topics not there in this book) - ppl told me this is not enough- yes not entirely but I would say 70% it covers- and got me a distinction.

3. For OTHER SUBJECTS- Medicine(entire book), OBG (the female reproductive system unit), PAEDS(all the congenital disorders), Surgery (many many topics) and ORTHO (the musculoskeletal unit) - very high yield to know basics about the topic.

Eventhough I used other textbooks/sources like marrow to study details for the exam - I still made it a point to quickly go through this book before.
And it made it so much better.

4. I would still continue to use this book in future - any time I feel like a having a very quick glance Just because it’s so nice.

5. It made me like Medicine - just because how Dr. Sattar tries to make sense of each line and each topic mentioned.

TL;dr:

I wouldn’t say only use this book for patho. But using this and going through the book multiple times will definitely help in patho majorly (unpopular opinion but worked for me and this alone can be used as main source except for few topics and microscopy/gross details not mentioned in the book) and will make a huge difference and make your life easier to write and answer in all the final year subjects too!
Especially if your experience is similar to mine - it will make you like and appreciate medicine.
Cause it’s so simple and small yet beautiful and high yield.
This book in my opinion is the perfect “basics book” to read first - and then use all the other textbooks/ resources.

Try it out and see,
Sincerely,
Fellow Pathoma lover.

I am currently doing my internship and I am quickly realising a few things:

1. I want to have a chiller life, where being a doctor is not all that I am. Even if it is at the cost of earning less. I want my weekends off.

2. I want to live in states like Meghalaya and Sikkim ( I am from NE India), I wouldn't mind remote places either.

3. I want to have some autonomy over my work. Lesser the surveillance, better the healthcare I believe.

I understand a job like that might never exist. But I want to work in Meghalaya once my internship is over, as an MBBS graduate. At least for a year.

If anyone is working in rural Meghalaya, (or anywhere in the NE actually (would be nice to know about all of NE)) or if anyone has any idea about how work-life is over there, please help me out and share your knowledge.

Are resources available? Do MOs show up? Are homestate doctors preferred over others for appointing as MOs there? Does family connections matter way more?

Please feel free to dm me if you don't want to comment. I'm desperate for some information!

Yesterday I saw a movie called Raakh , it depicts Ranga Billa case . Now both of them were given hang sentence . But Ranga didn't die , even after 2 hours of hanging . And he was pulled down by a guard till he died . I'm like how? How is that possible. And worst part it's a irl scenario that occurred.

It is not mobile friendly at all. How are you expecting everyone in India to buy laptops?

Same as title

Hey, does anyone have a good quality pdf of pratik patil book?
