Family Dermatology: Fill & Download for Free

Dermatology, no on call.Anaesthetics, pick and choose your hours/days. There’s lots of 4 hour sessions in Day Surgery etc. 12 years ago Anaesthetists were making $2k per day.Depending on the specialty, running a unit in a public hospital as a paid worker on a 40 hour week can be good, but you’d probably be 35–40yo by the time you get that gig. Lots of study and ongoing education, but eventually not much on call/nights.

Neurologist, Nephrologist, Rheumatologist Hematologist are some of the answers given by other members to this question. According to me the most cerebral speciality is post MBBS family doctor.The family doctor or general physician in India sees patients from Infants to elderly. He or she needs to be an expert in Pediatrics, General Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ophthalmology, Emergency Medicine, ENT, Infectious diseases and many more.The family doctor needs to have a vast knowledge to handle cases across various specialities and needs to be constantly updated with the latest advances in Medicine.The family doctor needs to know about common diseases and also keep the rare diseases in the back of his or her mind.The family doctors needs to know when to refer a patient to a specialist doctor. The doctor needs to maintain a delicate balance because if the doctor refers all the patients or to the contrary none of the patients to a specialist then the patients won't trust his or her judgment.Once you get a higher degree and become a specialist in a field say for example cardiology or oncology, you only know about that field. You slowly lose touch with other fields and your confidence to treat patients from other specialities diminishes.According to me the more focused you become in one area the dumber you become in other areas.

I will try to answer it systematically with the last point being the most important one.1)Dermatology is a clinical branch,hence if someone has got good rank and is not willing to go for med/surg etc and also want some “Clinical Doctor Type Feel”,then dermatology is best among the lot(Radio and anaesthesia provide all other things,except the clinical doctor type feel-accoeding to larger population).2)Its not an emergency branch.So,the people who want cool life will definitely take it.3)Since its not an emergency branch,so generally girls take it, as it also gives ample opportunity for family time also.4)Now the most important part-the seats of MD Dermatology in India are very less.Yes you read it right ,they are almost one third/one fourth of medicine /surgery and about half/third of pediatrics/ortho.So,it gives a false impression from counselling list that it fills up early,where as in reality if you compare side by side it goes to lower rank then Medicine/Pediatrics.In simpler terms,since seats are less,hence even if lesser percentage of people taking it ,still it fills early whereas due to more seats in medicine/pedia even if relatively more number of people taking it,the list goes far behind.
