  • In 2020, I decided not to continue my medical training in India and move abroad. What made somebody who was determined to live in India decide not to continue doing that? What are some of the things about the Indian medical education system that could drive away young doctors? Let’s discuss that and more in this video

      I completed my internahip a few months back. We had no holidays either. Had to take leave on day of neet pg, as well as on the day of convocation (which was held during our internship). I had to also go to my internship duties with 102 degree fever and everything… plus toxicity in certain departments…. I understand the huge patient flow will always make work stressful, no leaves, etc but then at least we can do without the toxicity which added to the already broken system kind of brings things to a new level.

    You're right. This medical field is so toxic in it's own way. I am doing my medical degree at an Irish institute. Yes we get such a very long break. But that comes at its own expense as well. We get everything crammed up and expected to know everything and do well. Our department rotations are like 5 weeks only. By the time you enter and learn you're already done with it and have to sit for end of rotation exams. If you are unwell during that time or could not finish the syllabus then you won't be doing well. Many of us think that what's the point of rushing and cutting everything short for such a long break when we have to pay so much for the fees. But of course it is nice to have breaks longer than 2 weeks so that we can just rest after all the depressing exams. The pros and cons. But always an Indian doctor is almost always the best teachers.

      Exactly the same at my med school in the UK. The other big downside is the fact that you only get one resit. So yes, if you fail exams you can resit them one month later. But if you fail that resit, you are kicked out of med school. That's literally the end of your medical career. My friend got kicked out after 4 years at medical school because he failed the resit. I think I'd take the odd batch over that any day.

    One think we need to understand is that India is compitative and will be as we r a country of billion nd hv biggest number of youth. Its just means u r replaceable thats also the reason why cost of man power is so low becoz if u want to do that in that amounts then there's thousands standing who will do it. It's not anyone's fault.
    I don't support brain drain but can understand, everyone want easy life that's why never blame anyone for going elsewhere . It's hurts that our country growth will slow down a little with this phenomenon. But it is how it is. 🤷
    I also going abroad but then think if we all go outside then this cycle will keep going. Country toh vhi ki vhi hi rhe jayegi. With this tought I again make my mind that i will stay here. Atleast i don't future generation to face this.
    And it's request to never blame and said negative things to those Indian who leave by some patriotic line. I take this in positive way that it's not like this will impact us hugely they r just 0.000000001% of our population so those who r here focus on ourself. And one more 😅, there's was a time when foreigners invaded us but now reverse uno. Indians r everywhere. Brain drain is just good thing, it's reducing country's load. And increasing our global presence in other word soft power 😁😁😂😂. We truly r peaceful country they invaded us cleverly and mercilessly but we r taking visa to invade them. 😅

    While I totally understand why people are leaving india to study abroad and settle down, i can tell this with certainty that training in India prepares you for anything that the world of medicine can throw at you. Yes its harsh and yes it seems hellish but when you're finally done with NEET PG and ur MD/MS course things get much better and you definitely end up a more competent doctor.

      One of the main issues with basically 99.9% Indians is that 1. The attitude of slavery is in their genes, anything foreign is Pure, The Best & Heavenly. 2. The inherent nature of NAFRAT against their own culture / traditions / anything that is Indian. 3. Finally, Indians are one of the least Patriotic people on this planet. 4. If these so called doctors were born in a foreign country and had tried to become a doctor, THEY WOULD REALIZE HOW HARD / TORTUROUS IT IS TO BECOME A DOCTOR. Anyway, Hey foreign-obsessed dcotors, Don't worry your kids will keep you in your pants once they grow up. Hope Life reminds you what Bharat is. Lastly, it is not to say that what you guys are saying , is not happening. You could not stand up and make a difference, So you chickened out & ran away.

    Some one has spoken the sheer reality of our medical training system. This kind of unhealthy growth is normalised in our society. Working without breaks and holidays is normalised. Working for 48 hrs straight is seen as normal in medical profession. Which is totally wrong. No one there to change the system. And I hate it. I m glad that you ve spoken something which is unspoken by medical fraternity. And I hate glorifying these kind of a stupid system. Putting yourselves and patient lives in danger. Imagine treating cases and operating on sick cases after working of our 24 hrs straight. Doctor s yell at patients due to this stress levels and patient looses respect on doctor due to the same reason. You ve done the right thing bro. Happy for you. 😅

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I am a non-traditional doctor - did engineering in India then went to medical school in the US. I sometimes wonder what medical training in India would have been like. Medical school in the US was not toxic like in India. However, residency that I did (before current duty hours restrictions came into force in 2003) was quite toxic and intense in surgical specialty that I trained in. It was very much like what you experienced in your internship year but ran through the entire 5 years of training.

    Maybe this is why we need a lot more medical graduates in the country, so that the ones in training are rotated appropriately and are not grilled to such an extent for their training. Needless to say, it is hazardous the amount of hours some of these junior doctors are required are required to put in, not just for the doctor but for the patients involved as well.

    I don't find a point in a HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WHICH literally harms and exploits the health of the health care professional....

Also I don't see a massive difference in payscale between India and UK if we consider the UK cost of living and the need to do locums to actually sustain the inflation. Also the flight charges to and fro back home will leave us with few lakhs in the end as savings. In India I will be done with pg at 28 probably and earn 1-2 lakhs. And we start training in the UK at 27-28. Just want to know your reason for UK over US:) No offense UK is great as well. Great video ❤

      I'm just about to enter a medical school, as I gave NEET on 7th May. I need to say this, I'm that kind of student who with the minimal amount of study, can do exceptionally well on exams. But this fact might change in medical school. I need to study 24 x 7 and recently a bro said that I won't be getting a single off day in med school. Since I'm from Bengal there are a lot of festivals throughout including Durga Puja and missing out on that, I've never even imagined. Also, being an adventurous guy, I like going out to new places quite often and try photography, but now I feel for this, my dream will be crushed. I know my dream is to be a doctor but for that how can I kill my passion? For this reason I've decided to move out of the country after internship. Which country to opt for, do you have any idea, prof, sis ?
