For students stuck with #NEET_परीक्षा held by @NTA_Exams
1. Consider yourself lucky for not having gotten into MBBS. With this number of years & hard work, you will excel in doing anything, anywhere esp when your progress is not hindered by reservations.

/1 2. If you are insistent on becoming Doc & this was your 1st attempt, don't be discouraged. 1 yr delay counts for nothing in life & career. You can make a comeback.

If this was your 2nd or 3rd attempt & your score is nowhere near cut off, I strongly suggest you change your choice

#Medicalnsurance thread.

About 2 decades back very few pts had medical insurance cover. Those who had used to pay hospital upfront & then claim reimbursement.

A change started ~ 2 decades back when third party administrator (TPA) started coming into picture as the mediators. The TPA's acted as agents between the patient, hospital & insurance companies. Hospitals signed "cashless" agreement with them to provide services to pts. The estimate would be evaluated & cleared by TPA. Denial of cashless treatment is not denial of insurance. TPA's proliferated

27 % OBC + 10 % EWS + 15 % SC + 7.5 % ST = ~ 60 % of all UG/ PG Medical Seats are now for reserved category candidates

Is there any point left for non reserved category students to break sweat & even try to become Doctor's in India ! Politics of appeasement

#MedicalReservation What happened to the Supreme Court order which caps the total reservation under any & every category to NOT be more than 50 % ?

Reservation & appeasement politics has irreversibly damaged the fabric of this nation. No wonder money & talent is flowing out India like never before

N/1

Covid numbers are rising again but many things that have or should change since last year, especially for Doctors & HCW Covid behaviour

1. There is less fear. It is more about being moderately & meaningfully cautious now. N/2

2. There is no need to sanitise surfaces - including door knobs, handles, chair & table, groceries & vegetables.

3. Wearing disposable gloves & shoe covers serves no useful purpose. Regular washing of hand or using sanitiser is enough. Avoid touching the face.

India cannot and should not replicate the European or First World approach of complete lockdown. The consequences of lockdown will be far worse than that of Coronavirus. Looking at the diversity of population in India & the exposure from domestic workers, daily wagers, newspapers, daily grocery, milk packets - there is never going to be a way we can be in complete isolation or a lockdown like Europe.
