    I was constantly being by seniors about how bad my life might become if I opt for surgery...and I also started doubting myself.
    But I wasn't able to convince my heart to live without doing surgery for the rest of my life.....and now after watching your video , I am 100% determined to take up surgery n be happy.
    Thank you so much sir... your video is like a blessing to me☺️☺️☺️

    I always wanted to take surgery since school days and especially during my mbbs. In internship I became fan of surgery and prepared for neet pg with surgery in my mind.
    But after getting a good rank where i can get almost any government college for surgery, i got scared to take it because of it being the toughest branch and being a girl. This video brought back every thought very I always wanted to be a surgeon. So surgery it is then. Thank you so much sir! Thank you for making this video

      Please also mention about the challenges in taking super speciality as almost everyone is moving towards specialisation.
      I heard that female surgeons mostly end up in pediatric or plastic surgery , the low workload and low remuneration branches due to work life balance challenges. I know there are always exceptions but broadly speaking.

    I have been going mad in my head for the past month about whether or not I should choose surgery because of all the gender roles that are expected of a woman in India. Being of average built, whether or not I would be able to do well in the branch. This video calmed me down so much . Thank you so so much!

But having children at 37 years is a bit too much it’s personal choice but when we read obgyni text book what ever disease it might be the cause is age >30 years . Being a doctor having kids that late is lame. Dear female surgeons keep in mind if u want 2 children have them with out any complication or risk . U have lots of time to excel professionally but u have only little time to have babies with out risk to baby’s life and yours . Your actions affects entire family. Choose surgery with out thinking if u are Intrested no doubt women are very powerful but do not keep profession above family both can go hand in hand . Don’t take wrong guidance .
