1) Its NEET PG time and midrankers and fresh candidates will have a collective meltdown once again.

So I have a new thread, fresh from the oven for all these people.

Keep reading.
2) If you are a midranker --> you get a maximum of 7 days to decide whether you want to continue counselling or not.

Thats it.

Done.

If you have decided to continue counselling, forget about the next NEET.

Take whatever you get and leave the rat race.
3) If you decide to try one more time --> at the end of 7 days --> stop worrying about counselling and what you are getting in R1 etc etc.

If you manage to get the subject of choice in a not so favourite institute --> you get 1 day only to confirm your decision to take it up.
4) Personally

Subject >>>>> institute

I paraphrase JFK --> ask not what your subject/institute can do for you, ask what you can do for your subject/institute!
5) Most of you are kids and have little understanding of how economics and business works.

All coaching centres and gurus MUST tell you that you need a top 10 rank and the BEST INSTITUTES --> why else will you continue to dole out major cash year after year to chase a dream ?
6) A dream, that like the horizon seems to move further away the closer you get.

Be sensible, don't lose your sanity in this rat race.

There is more to life than medicine.

Nobody will remember your ranks.

If somebody does, its bettee to FORGET them.
7) New candidates

There is the FORWARD and BACKWARD approach.

If the topic is more or less well known --> use BACKWARDS.

Do the pertinent modules and review topics from the study mat for revision/consolidation only.
8) If the topic has evaporated from your memory --> use FORWARDS

Study from the study mat --> do the corresponding modules.

If you have studied well in MBBS - BACKWARDS >>> FORWARDS.
9) Are all modules in Marrow vital?

Forget the module approach --> think of it as a question approach.

>50% people get a Q correct --> its a MUST KNOW.

30-50% --> GOOD TO KNOW

<30% --> OK TO KNOW

You must know the must knows
10) You might have to trawl through all the modules --> BUT NOT EVERY QUESTION in each module.

Use this must know approach!

Also the backwards>>forwards approach has a gradient from final yr MBBS to 1st yr.

Normal!

Since thats how memory works!
This is a basic idea of how to approach your NEET PG prep.

I will leave the specifics to you for they differ student to student.

If you have doubts or questions, feel free me to ask me in the comments below!

Some people are asking me if they should sit for counselling just to see where they stand and how the counselling process works.

The rank already tells you where you stand.

Counselling is not some bizarre alchemy that you need to study it one year beforehand.

Waste of time!
This is just fence sitting.

You have 7, sorry 6 days to make a decision.

Don't waste time!

Hard decisions will have to be made!

1) Pregnancy is a significant sociocultural event in human society.

It marks the sacred connection between one generation and its offspring.

This is what most people think.

Let me tell you why its not --> through the lens of evolutionary medicine.
2) Pregnancy is actually a vicious battle between two partially related genetic entities --> the mother and its fetus.

Neither side shows mercy or takes prisoners.

We will focus on the battle for fuel at the fetomaternal interface in this Tweetorial.
3) First of all --> the physiology.

The pregnant female usually experiences reset homeostasis --> with fasting blood sugar (FBS) gradually falling till the week 12 --> then it stabilizes till term.

But PPBS shows sharper, more sustained rise, along with rising insulin levels!

1) The best thing about #MedTwitter is that a lot of hematologists and medical oncologists put out a lot of Tweetorials explaining what they do!

If you are gen med resident in India, these two subjects are most likely the ones you least focus on, in your curriculum.
2) Shrouded in mystery, they lead to many misconceptions and in many cases, therapeutic nihilism.

I might be wrong, but this is my experience, after having interacted with many residents over the past 3 years.
3) But this has changed in the past 6 months and I have definitely improved my knowledge --> this has been helpful in clinical practice as well!

I am no longer restricted to the Hodgkin vs non Hogdkin dichotomy!

I now understand what SUVmax is!

I love deep dives and I mean it!

My latest focus --> Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This is the original series of 7 cases published by Thomas Hodgkin.

1) Morning sickness --> another pearl from evolutionary medicine.

Nausea and vomiting (n/v) in early pregnancy are so common --> they are regarded as almost physiological.

But could they have an evolutionary benefit?
2) Firstly, its not called morning sickness anymore.

Its n/v of pregnancy aka NVP.

Why?

Because it takes place at all times of the day and night.
3) We have a graphical representation of the usual course of NVP here.

1) Inspired by @AaronGoodman33

Middle aged male gets tired easily, had a hx of TLOC on sudden standing up, low grade fever × past 1 year

Clinical exam --> gradual darkening of skin and oral mucosa.

What is your diagnosis?

#MedTwitter
What are your differentials?

What labs +/- imaging would you request?
I am surprised nobody thought of hemochromatosis.

Unexplained fatigue and postural hypotension --> hemochromatic cardiomyopathy

Low grade fever --> hemochromatosis renders you susceptible to infection

Hyperpigmentation --> hemoCHROMATOSIS
