first things first

This is a space for second and third year surgery aspirants from India.Guys from the west can drop in avail ,criticize etc but then were not much bothered.This space is for the regular medical student who wants to know more about surgery but is stranded because the only way he or she is going to learn in an institute is by humiliation ....***d chatna ...is the official word .For sake of decency I have to keep it off my official page.
Either way the plan is to post an odd 100 snaps ....over the next three months ...these are the sort of cases you get in any Indian Surgery Exam .For that matter in your MRCS exams too.The cases don't change much .So its really nice to have a visual impression .Now for all those of you who are really sincere and follow your registrar around cos he's cute or he's these cases should be a cake walk .But if your like me where you hate sticking up in a cramped opd jostling between the swarm of patients for a brief view of there testicles I hope this site gives you an easy way around.
Unfortunatley a junior surgeons life starts under the belt....hernias ,hydroceles and other scrotal swelling....so thats probably where well start...then we can go either down the legs to vascular or up to the abdomen and then finally head face neck.Ill try to spatter in a bit of orthopedics cos they do tend to ask you a decent bit of ortho in your MRCS practs.
As for me .. I am a chandigarh lad ...who went to bombay to do medicine and stepped out with an MS a couple of years back .Got an MRCS and now practicing in Abu Dhabi.I've taught a decent number of juniors but never got enough time to formalize my teaching .I hope in six months ,that is ,if I stick to maintain this blog I would have organised my photocollection to be of use to all you guys.
Again I want you to stay with me through the narrative and pick up cues from the acecdotes...often you remember things better if your discussing it with a registrar over a cup of chai hanging from your bike or necking him in the canteen ....thats the feel I want to give you as your read along.

I am astrong believer that you dont chose surgery...surgery choses you....its a matter of passion.If you've already reached so far with me your probably one of the chosen one. Poor James Bond....carries a licence to kill...and makes such a fuss with the ladies..here we carry a knife in your back pocket and literally cut another guy open to amend what physically ails him.Theres no bigger thrill than in saving an dudes life ,may that be the jaw thrust you did to lift of his tongue from falling back in his throat (bilateral condylar fracture) or you slitting his abdomen open to tamponade an abdominal bleed from a burst spleen.The smile you see on a man ,who eight hours back was going cold, with his blood pooling in his pants has no match.The younger amongst us might say its org****c .Again I have to mince words for sake of the profession .

Either way hang on and enjoy ....and ya ..if the language bothers you I can refer you to the official surgrery site of the MRCS ...no laments here...we are here to have fun with surgery ..the serious sorts can **** off ......thats 'push' ...................... just in case you thought I blurted something nasty
