Well ...not against the content of your video but I don't understand why you just keep on giving thumbnails citing the worst of every department and branch...honestly it feels as though you are selling a lot more of negativity let alone the video.<br>Mostly we,who consume the content of yours are doctors or budding doctors who are yet to choose a department,and selling the negatives doesn't help anyone. There is a positive side and a beautiful side to it too not that anyone and everyone will stick to your standards of everything.<br>I want to be a neurosurgeon...I am preparing for my ini exams...i already know the hectic life of neurosurgery bt the other day I saw your thumbnail ...when it said "neurosurgery stole my 30s"...really?<br>Man common how can one even get motivated to choose a branch if this is what you present...we live in a world where everything has a cost...not merely medicine...bt it is the love that makes one keep going...so please don't say that what you present is truth...if you are so certain for truth do it the right way...not in such a manner.

I have seen md medicine general physicians earning 3-4x more than paediatrics in tier 2-3 cities... So I guess he's right that pediatrics is a low earning branch

Very nice video sir....as a young pediatrician, working in a corporate I can relate well to whatever he said throughout...<br>Just one suggestion if you can add one question to the podcast related to mental health..to what extent they've suffered or how did they overcome it..

Sir, having spoken to specialists from almost every medical field and explored their journeys, struggles, and realities, you have a unique understanding of medical careers. We humbly request a comprehensive guidance series on all career pathways after MBBS. Most students know only the common options like MD/MS in Medicine, Surgery, OBG, Orthopaedics, Anaesthesia, Radiology, Psychiatry, ENT, Community Medicine, Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, etc. But there are so many lesser-known routes that we need clarity on.<br><br>We would love a structured series covering:<br>1) Complete MBBS → Postgraduate → Super-speciality pathways for all branches, including those beyond the common 19 subjects, e.g., Emergency Medicine, Palliative Medicine, Nuclear Medicine, and others.<br><br>2) Clinical, para-clinical & non-clinical PG courses and comparison of MD/MS vs DNB vs diploma.<br><br>3) Super-speciality options after each PG branch, including DM/MCh and the 6-year direct MCh programmes.<br><br>4) Fellowships, FNB programmes, research, academic, administrative, and government pathways for those not pursuing traditional PG.<br><br>5) Duration, competition, scope, lifestyle, and leading colleges for each pathway.<br>International career routes (US, UK, Australia) with practical guidance for students aiming to go abroad.<br><br>A structured video or series from you explaining all of this would be extremely valuable and could guide thousands of MBBS students in making informed career choices.
