To all my friends,juniors and seniors in medical fraternity.From when did getting a PG became a criteria to measure how successful a doctor is had started?Most of us have acquired the skill to write off our relatives’/non medico friends’ same old query about our specialisation and their concern about us of being a failure( only acquired insignificant plain MBBS).But it’s hurting to witness my own parents to be more desperate than me for not acquiring a PG seat this year.Now I also can’t feel the positivity and optimism that I had …since past few weeks.I quit using my original fb account since it tend to build anxiety on seeing updates by my batch mates and juniors joining PG courses.If shared these thoughts with someone they would comment that not to compare our timelines with others.I had accepted the thought “Comparison is the Joy killer” since school times but now it’s changed.Even after understanding may be it’s due to my parents’ concern about me that is reflecting back,I couldn’t bring back the lost confidence.I guess many of you here is going through this situation and many would have succeeded this hurdle.What do you suggest?
I know exactly what you’re feeling! My parents are now asking me to go over budget and fill choices from expensive colleges just because the possibility of me not getting a seat is closer to being a reality now and because a few of my friends who were a lot behind me in rank got a seat because they could afford really expensive colleges
