We are just a bunch of 25-27 year olds dealing with an immense amount of physical and mental trauma all for the promise of a better future. Our eyes are filled with sleep,stomachs filled with coffee and hearts filled with love and dreams✨
To everyone joining obgy residency this year,
Hi. Welcome to one of the busiest, heaviest and most chaotic branches of all times.
Our doctors are sleep deprived, but content and our patients are happy (almost all)
Tragic incident : A 3rd year Medicine PG resident from top medical institution Safdarjung hospital (Delhi) has committed suicide.
What’s shocking me is he was not any ordinary doctor mentally or physically ! He was a Top level Black belt martial artist and an International
No medications are available in sion hospital. I have a high risk PNC patient who has no relatives with her to buy drugs and food. The people in the bed beside her decided to chip in and pay for her medications🥺🥺 Some people have such big hearts! 🥰
Safety of doctors in their own hospital is yet again in jeopardy. There is a murder happening right inside campus. Truly horrifying

I am now in the age group where my non medico friends are getting married. I am very happy for them but mentally I can’t imagine doing it. Yaar yaha ek emerg handle nahi hota, shaadi toh dur ki baat hai
Before residency, i thought I would use twitter to share stories about patients. But man the workload really sucks the joy out of writing. Hopefully aug will be a decent month🤞🏻
I hate how toxic the work environment is here. Getting shouted at for no fault of mine and despite doing all the work. Running away after getting my degree is my only dream now.
I took clinics for 2nd year MBBS students today, such cuties
I remember being scared and overwhelmed by the wards then, what a nostalgic trip
Life truly comes a full circle 🤞🏻
Today I said the navkar mantra for a dead patient in the ward on the relatives’ request, since they couldn’t come inside. One of the most bone chilling experiences I have had.
Meeting your other jr1 friends when you are running around the hospital and giving a tired smile or a small hug is so precious. Trauma bonding for real.
Its so difficult to maintain long distance relationships in residency, romantic or otherwise. I care about you but I am too tired to think. But you always have a place in my heart ❤️
All the best for neet pg 2022! I would really advice to stop studying now and chill with your loved ones. A calm mind will help you ride through the storm.
Chalo abhi fatafat juniors aa jao:)
Its really sad to see interns of other states getting a raise in their salary while interns in Mumbai are working in the biggest epicentre of corona in India and are struggling to get the bare minimum. We were promised 11K, but have received only 6K per month.
I completed 1 year of residency yesterday
Gains: anxiety,surgical skills, resilience, new friends
Losses : sleep, weight, hygiene.
All in all, its been a decent year. Its not so scary anymore. Onwards and upwards💪🏻
I went for a celebratory four course lunch with him and afterwards we stopped at a famous bhelpuri wala to have a fifth course😂 If this isn’t desi love, I don’t know what is.
Recent events have led to a lot of introspection.
I don’t want medicine to completely dominate my life, in the end its just a job.
‘What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare’
For people who didn’t score well in INICET, don’t lose hope. Don’t base your preparation level on this result as both the paper styles are different. Revise this week and answer questions based on common sense. All the best:)
As an obgyn resident, we see MLC cases under IPC 376 every emerg.
This emerg was particularly bad, I got a 4 year old with history of sexual assault. I am still a little shaken inside.
I have been mindlessly working since 3 months. Today I got a chance to reflect. Feels like only yesterday was my first day. Ngl its very hard. There have been many tears and urges to run away. Hopefully things are better ahead
Real things said to me by a wound gape patient- doctor aap vaise toh bohot ache ho, ache bhi dikhte hai ho but aapko dekh ke meri ruh kaap jaati hai kyunki iska matlab abhi dressing ka time ho gaya 😂
Obgy residency is tough. This will be an honest answer about things you should know before opting for it.
1. Understand that everyone is working in a high stress environment, especially during emergency days. Dont take anything people say to you to heart.
Obs Gyne might be very rewarding and satisfactory later in life but from what I see first hand during internship, PGs have the worst possible life, work environment and stress. I really really wonder how one has to be mentally prepared and strong to opt this branch.
I am so used to working at multiple projects at once and constantly being busy that having a moment to myself seems weird. There is a constant need to fill it with distractions.
Residency has stolen my capacity to be still, be at peace.
Okay instead of consuming more coffee I have started consuming less in residency which is so strange. I like my coffee in a specific way and there is no time to make it
What an eventful week, did my week of informing, presented my rounds, and will now be presenting a case series in a conference. What a time to be alive!
Every post emerg I get annoyed with ward work and question my choices and every weekend when I read up about my subject I realise there is nowhere else I would rather be
A patient of mine delivered a female child and started crying, face filled with disappointment.
All I could feel was anger initially
It was later replaced by pity, maybe this mother doesn’t know better, maybe her in laws will trouble her again.
Everytime I get anxious about studies, I have a lofi chill beats playlist and i put it on and just start. Its soothing and reminds me of my cute cafe study dates that I used to have pre pandemic.
I woke up to a shocking news.A resident from KEM committed suicide and passed away. I had worked with her in ICU6 in April. She used to make me look forward to my morning shifts because she used to help me and teach me about ventilatory settings.
The love and support that has poured in from friends and family when they got to know I am sick has truly been heartwarming. In the end nothing matters but love and the people you share it with.
I got the approval of sister and maushi in my new DRP hospital as the most sweet and calm doctor, which honestly is news as an obstetrician 😇
Best feeling ever
