Hi Chavi,
Doctors working in an environment of armed conflict face situations. Regular Army and the Army Reserve as a medical officer tend to face different challenges to those in civilian regular practice. The ethical complexities facing doctors generally increases in regular practice. In Civilian practice decisions are really more about what treatment is or isn't appropriate, and when it is futile to continue such treatment. You may wonder what you are going to do with this new phase of your life. Treatment may not be technically or physically possible.

Hi Chavi,
Getting admission in a good medical or engineering college is a big cause of worry for students while parents get a heart attack looking at the hefty capitation fees. With pressure of 12th standard marks and the money involved, the whole process is quite intimidating for the students.

Hi Imran,
It has always been the policy of the Indian government to have more general physicians who can work in villages and not specialists. They want more foot soldiers and not more generals. Not only the number of PG seats is low, the subject wise distribution is very awkward. One state has more than 100 PG seats for anesthesia, other has less than 10 seats for Pediatrics.
I do not know if there is any advance planning by MCI or Government about the number of specialists' requirement 3 years down the line. Same is the problem with post PG courses. Supply does match with the demand in society, production is insufficient , unbalanced and haphazard.

Hi Imran,
If you have enough money to splurge, you could buy yourself a PG Medical specialization seat. Pointing to the widespread corruption in the education system of the country, medical seats in the country are being offered for as much as 1.5 crore. Paying such a huge amount might ensure you a bright future but is a PG medical seat worth all the money?
