A 33 -year -old Reddit post has caused an online introspection wave about the realities of pursuing medicine in India. Entitled “Becoming to Doctor in India is a trap (monetary and professional)!”, The publication of the user Drnkr371 painted a protruding image of long years of study, financial tension and returns that decrease, which committed their professionals to share their own points of view on whether medicine is still worth it.

In the publication, the user detailed his trip, from MBBs in 2009, followed by a three-year sabbatical to prepare for postgraduate exams and six years more completing specialization and subspecialization.

“Now I am 33 years old and only now I finish the training in my specialty,” they wrote. “The whole process was very drawn and exhausting. Even now things are not easy, there is a doctors overflowing since recent years and compensation has fallen for fashion students.”

Reflecting on career prospects, the doctor added: “The days of those striking doctors in Mercs have disappeared. Starting their own practice is impossible.

The publication resonated widely, drawing a combination of agreement, tranquility and comparative reflections.

A user replied, “You have not mistaken. Medicine in India is a trap, if you define the success as a straight line of MBBS at Mercedes. That Mercedes was always a myth. The doctor’s striking era died when corporate hospitals armed the supply and demand of turning clinics into replaceable gears.”

Another noted the long-term value of a medical career, saying: “You are in a famous profession to be a slow burning. Money will come on time. Think about it: you can continue to work, often at your own pace of the Middle Ages forward, whenever you want. On the contrary, your computer worker fears the permanent fear of 45 years.

A third user added perspective from the engineering point of view: “Most 33 -year -old engineers are not getting older either and their work is always vulnerable. Engineers overflow is like doctors 100 times and most jobs are poorly paid.”

They continued: “Everyone compared to the cream of engineers or ambitious people who make MBAS, etc. and they win big. But they are few, like the most important doctors, etc. You will install “better than most engineers”.
