Learnings from a speciality residency at one of d top institutes in India -

In my last month of residency & 1-yr post-MCh bond as an adhoc Asst Prof at @TataMemorial Mumbai & @TMC_Varanasi here's a thread on what I learnt. (Might hv some snippets I wish I knew before I joined) Image
1. Oncology - To me, treating #CANCER is the highest form of medicine currently practised. If a fellow human being, is able to rid another, of d #EmperorOfAllMaladies, medicine shall hv achieved what it set out to. Cancer still lurks in d realm of that which needs 'conquering'
I saw this in TMH day in & out. The 'conquering'. I saw pts coming in the worst of conditions and walking back home. To a family. To a life.

I also saw d other end of d spectrum. Whr v had to meekly surrender to the malady. Where we could do precious little to 'save' someone.
