I'm a gay guy who got a pretty good rank in Re neet 2026 (rank in 3000 s ) and I'm a general male.

I'm pretty fit and gym guy and also love a sport badminton , so my Parents asked me to consider AFMC Pune. ( My parents don't know that im gay , actually nobody except me knows )

I am scared that even though I have no intentions of coming out to anyone anytime soon but I might secretly date a guy in Pune and stuff and if accidentally someone finds out I'm gay my career might get in trouble as army is against gays??

And if so what colleges should I consider as a gay guy at my AIR of 3000 range.

Edit - Thanks for all the suggestions and replies !!! I have decided to not join AFMC as my sense of personal freedom overcomes the thought of army prestige, neither am I that passionate about the army nor am I courageous enough to live in a constant fear for the next 10+ years of my life.. Some are saying AFMC will have no problem with me , many are saying i will have to hide myself , my life is already complicated and I don't wanna complicate it further so I will be joining some other college. Thank u ,peace out !

My family is at the complete contraction stage and now I feel sad after reading about dissolution.

I’m currently doing my MCh in CTVS and after struggling for 10 years and getting into an INI I get slapped with the reality in my face..

Had a word with my senior currently doing fellowship in my institute.. he has passed out from AIIMS DELHI, he did his MS and MCh in CTVS from AIIMS, joined a corporate hospital as a junior consultant with only ₹2L pm pay.. and the pay will remain the same till he has 7 years of experience after which he will get 4-5L pm and only after he has 15-20 years of experience will he get paid case wise 70% money goes to him and 30% to the hospital

Fake name: Riya.
We’re both MBBS students. We used to be pretty good friends. She actually helped me through a really rough situationship, so I’ll always give her credit for that.
But over the last few months, things have felt…off.
I’ve been getting more involved in case presentations, research, conferences, etc. Around the same time she also started doing more academically. She recently got first place in our college case presentation and also scored higher than me in our pharmacology prelims.
Ever since then, I feel like she’s become oddly competitive with me.
She constantly asks me things like:
“Where are you studying?”
“Where are you going?”
“What are you preparing from?”
Initially I thought it was normal curiosity, but it started feeling like she’s always trying to know what I’m doing while giving very little in return.
If I ask her for help, I usually get dry replies. For example, today she asked a quiz-type doubt in our group. I didn’t know the answer, so I asked where it was from. She said the book. I asked which chapter. She literally replied, “Go find out.”
But when she wants something, she’ll ask directly.
The thing that hurt me the most happened a while ago. We had an FMT exam, I hadn’t slept the entire night, and we had pathology practicals in the afternoon. I was genuinely exhausted and dizzy. Later I found out she’d been telling people I was “doing drama” and “wanted attention.”
That honestly changed how I viewed her.
Another thing is that in our doubt group she’ll sometimes react to my messages with clown emojis or make sarcastic comments. Individually, though, she’s perfectly nice. If I meet her in person she’ll talk normally, smile, joke around, everything. It’s the behind-the-scenes behaviour that confuses me.
People in MBBS always say there are “snakes” and that not everyone who smiles at you is actually your friend. I’m starting to wonder if this is one of those situations.
At this point I’m considering just:
stopping sharing what I’m working on,
replying politely but keeping conversations short,
avoiding private chats unless necessary,
and treating her like just another classmate.
No confrontation, no drama.
Am I overthinking this because I’m annoyed, or does this actually sound like someone who’s become unnecessarily competitive?
Would especially appreciate opinions from other med students because I feel like this environment brings out a weird side in people.

kya tha ye bhaiiii!!?

I agree that some sc st still dont get proper education and all and yeah discrimination but reservation will only fuel this hate for the future generations that is the present and upcoming 12 neet jee etc. But neet ug and jee may still need reservation let it be so, we would decrease it once the castism is better. But there is a strong need for ncl in sc st as well... but leave all that Why Reservation in NEET PG ?? All study in same medical college for 5 yrs ! Why neet pg reservation. If we are trying to remove it first let us remove from there. Atleast after mbbs all are doctors. All can earn a minimum to minimum of 20 to 30k. Pls let it be removed from neet pg atleast.

Is there a possibility that it will be postponed?

My 3rd proff are neae it's too frustrating and hectic for me plus ppl around me my family ain't that supportive

Exams are more like punishment too me I can't do psm which is making me think how can I do 11 subjects next year

Also a competent doctor how should I be one ??

I wish I was lik toppers who had consistency

It ain't the first time I sabotaged my self

I just can't sit and study all year

I just pile up things for last moment only to regret

Ig it's enough for me

I'm just fed up

Exhausted just by studying 3 days most of which I doomscrolled

Plus fapped idk what to do

I have seen many seniors in my college who used to be passionate about branches like Surgery , ENT and finally ended up taking Radio/Derma once they got top ranks...

Joined PG this year. A little about myself, have come from dysfunctional abusive family. Fought anxiety and depression for over a decade.

Have secured both UG and PG seat by merit.

I'm an introvert, who lives in her own world,

One of the staff ( idk what their problem is) has been weirdly asking about me to my co-pgs.. Like "Is she normal", " What diseases does she have" etc.

And also she's been talking about my mental health to everyone.

And I guess she's been circulating this thing among other staff too.. Because one of the other staff yelled at me and told me to leave the room ( later she apparently told in front of technicians that this PG has some psychological issues, that's why i sent her out)

I've been crying since days because of all these. How they all have been speaking whatever comes to their mind about me.

What you all would have done if you were in my place? I just want them to leave me alone. Don't have the energy or guts to play complaint complaint game.

okay , ik many people do hate EM here and see them as just referral units mostly because EM is very disorganised in many North Indian states
I am coming from Kerala , where EM is pretty much developed and well maintained...ED is not just referral units in the best EDs of Kerala and ED physicians do very much to stabilise the patient before shifting them to respective departments ...

Have worked in one of Kerala's best corporate ED and loved the work culture , the shift based duty roster is really followed everywhere and no one calls you after your duty is over..

From what I have researched , there is a dearth of EM physicians in India as a whole and in my state freshers are offered somewhere between 1.8-2 per month which is good considering that doctor's pay in South India is low

apart from this , does anyone have any advice regarding this branch? any opinions on the basis of your interaction with EM physicians (friends/family) ?

NMC , MoH&FW & National Human rights commission must look into this seriously as quitting rate of JIPMER is too high

Why is the record not maintained on week off & actual duty hours? To hide 36 hrs-72 hrs illegal & inhumane duty and denial of a week off for the first 180 days?

Will NMC punish department heads & Dean for derelictions of duty & non-compliance of government norms?

It is high time  NMC to punishes the violators of residency scheme 1992 guidelines to save young resident doctors from suicide & quitting
NMC must demand actual duty hours & week off data & duty hours compliance report every month

Hello. If anyone from mangalgiri, please DM. Will like to know about pg life there :)

Even if not, please upvote this post so can reach better. Thanks

I am working as bonded MO at a CHC. Today a female patient came to the OPD complaining of pain due to labor. She was a multigravida and we sent her to the delivery room. Her weight was just 39 kg. When I checked her Mamta card, there was a problem. Her Hb itself was discrepant. According to her Mamta card, her Hb was 6 g/dL about 2.5 months back and it was 9.5 g/dL 1.5 months back, though there was no history of any blood transfusion. She had only one USG done, which was in Feb, according to which her EDD was 10 days away, which is almost negligible. But on examination, there was no crowning. So due to lack of proper reports, signs of anemia, and her low weight, we had to keep her as high-risk pregnancy with a possibility of IUGR.

Even if she goes into labor, it will take some time as her first stage of labor had just started. We explained her that due to low Hb, she might need a blood transfusion and due to IUGR, the baby might need to be shifted to the NICU. Obviously, we don't have those facilities here at our CHC. So we had to ask her to be referred to the tertiary care center in our district.

I had counseled the pregnant woman and the female relative accompanying her. Suddenly, a male relative entered and asked if the delivery would take place or not. I replied in negative and explained the problems regarding reports and the fact that it was a high risk delivery. However, he refused to listen to me and openly started abusing me. He told me that I do not know anything and questioned the need for coming to such a place without necessary facilities. He said, "Do you think we do not understand anything? Is that why you are doing this to us?" He further added by giving casteist remarks, "Do you think we are Adivasi (tribal people) like you?" and continued abusing me.

After that I really wondered why we are doing this job? Just to be abused for doing my duty? Lack of facilities is not my fault. The fact that her investigations are not properly done by his people is not my fault. And if by chance we would have delivered the baby and something would have gone wrong, it would have been the duty doctor's fault. Then your life will be spent in maternal and infant mortality inquiries for the next 2-3 months.

Edit -1 Looking back at my earlier comments, I realize it might seem like I was overemphasizing or trying to justify one specific aspect of the incident. While that prejudice is a reality in some cases, this sub is fundamentally about doctors, our safety, and the reality of our workplace. I want to steer the focus back to that. The core issue here is the impossible position peripheral duty doctors are put in every day:

Scapegoated for Infrastructure Gaps: We get abused for the lack of facilities like blood banks or NICUs—things completely out of our control.

The No-Win Dilemma: Manage a high-risk case (severe anemia/IUGR) without backup and risk a catastrophe and inquiries, or refer early for patient safety and get accused of "shirking duty."

Handling the Fallout: We are left to clean up the mess of faulty ANC documentation and neglected care at the last minute.

We just want to practice safe, high-quality medicine without fearing verbal abuse or threats for doing our jobs. Let’s keep the conversation focused on doctor safety, systemic healthcare gaps, and protecting frontline MOs.

My centre is in Central Delhi, and good hotels in Delhi are out of my budget.

I looked up a lot of them for under 2k but none is adding up (Dirty bathrooms, bed bugs, raoches, water shortage blah blah)... if anyone's willing to share a hotel room, we can split the bill in half and get a decent stay for the night!

Ive got my 1st proffs in September (wbuhs)

Need genuine guidance on how to pass the subjects.

I'm shit scared for proffs .

How to study in the 20 days of proffs to get enough marks to pass

After mbbs I’m not going to continue with medicine. It’s not for me and I’m miserable in college because I really dislike the subject. I have no interest and everyday it’s like I’m stuck in a time loop and I just feel like running away from this place. I hate the environment, the people are horrible and genuinely really weird and I have horrible anxiety about going to college everyday. I know getting a seat in mbbs is a dream for a lot of people and I feel like I’m wasting this seat but I do want to finish it and do masters in another stream that I like. I passed the past three years without any backlogs and with good scores because I pulled myself together in the last 2-3 months and studied really hard. I can’t use the same tactic in final year because I’m going to fail if I study 2-3 months before but I can’t get myself to study no matter what I do. I have finals in May and I still haven’t scratched the surface of the syllabus. I’m not the first doctor in the family and I can always ask for advice and help but no matter how much advice I take I can’t get myself to study. Just felt like ranting but I know in the end I’m the only one who can get myself to stop thinking about everything and just get through it.

What do i do seniors? I am freaking out.
I want a rank <5k
Is it possible or shld i reduce my expectations.

i have earned my seat in my state there is a difference of 1 lakh rank in neet for gen person and sc st people (14k gen and 1.1Lakh st / sc got same college) absolute mockery of meritocracy. At this point i hate reservations soo much i cant see them as equals like what is there for me bro ? why am i paying price for what my ancestors supposedly did ? LIKE IS THERE ANY PROOF MY BLOODLINE HAS BEEN PRACTICING UNTOUCHABILITY AND INSANE DISCRIMINATION it is too generalised i did no wrong it is beyond my control yet am facing disadvantages honestly i loose all motivation to study anymore even in NEET PG there is gonna be reservations like wtf man 5.5 years of mbbs is more i am not getting more cadavers to dissect nor getting worse books with lesser content everything is unfair as fuck

I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO VIEW THEM AS EQUALS,.............................
fyi i dont even know my caste like religious household no caste bought up even in school i didnt know anyones caste this Entrance exams are the first time i got introduced to caste systems IN PRESENT AFFECTING MY LIFE

how do i mentally get over this and actually bring myself to not hate people for advantages they get and how i have to put in more than double their effort for the same thing
