1. MBBS Takes 5.5 Years. But You’re Not Even Close to “Settled.” After MBBS, you still need to clear NEET PG (now NEXT). Then 3 more years of PG. And maybe super-specialization. 👉 By the time you "start earning decently", you’re 30+. 2. 150+ Medical Students Have Died by Suicide in the Last Decade. AIIMS Delhi, KGMU Lucknow, JJ Mumbai — all have reported such cases. Causes? Not failure. Mental health + systemic pressure + no support. 👉 There's no mental health system inside most colleges. 3. You Can Be Brilliant — and Still Be Publicly Insulted. Professors shouting in rounds is normalized. At some colleges, students are made to stand outside during viva or insulted in front of patients. 👉 It's called “discipline” — but it often leads to breakdowns. 4. Attendance > Your Health. Even if you’re sick, grieving, or mentally exhausted — you must attend 75%. Fall short? You repeat the year. No exceptions. 👉 A student fainting in the ward is asked: “Why weren’t you wearing your apron?” 5. Lectures Are Mostly Ineffective. But Still Mandatory. Majority of teaching = slide reading with no interaction. Students rely more on YouTube, Marrow, and handwritten notes. 👉 You spend hours in class — but actually learn from your room. 6. You’ll Be Financially Dependent for a Long Time. MBBS students earn nothing. PG residents earn ₹30–₹60k/month. No time for side gigs. No time to rest. 👉 By the time you earn properly, you're already in your late 20s — and burnt out. 7. Administration Cares More About Reputation Than Students. Suicides are reported as “personal issues.” Harassment complaints are quietly buried. 👉 A student dies → college worries about its name, not why it happened. 8. Violence Against Doctors is Real — and Increasing. WB, Telangana, Maharashtra: doctors beaten during duty. No security. No protection. 👉 You might get attacked while trying to save a patient. 9. You’re Glorified By Society, But Left Alone in Reality. “Doctor ban raha hai, wah!” But nobody sees: 36-hour shifts No weekends Constant mental fatigue 👉 The “respect” feels nice — until you realise it doesn’t help you survive. #mbbs #medicine #doctor #medical #explore
