Hello everyone!

A new year calls for new beginnings and I wish you, your loved ones and your family a very happy new year. Hope you have a safe and prosperous one going forward!

There’s a tweet that I read at the beginning of 2021 which I still feel holds true for 2022.

The bar remains low for 2022. This life lesson remains unchanged. It is possible to be grateful with much less.

If you haven’t already heard, hospitals have been working at 66% capacity for the last 8 months, because new residents haven’t been admitted. This is because their entrance exams (NEET PG) have been repeatedly postponed and now the counselling has been halted. There are around 43k residents sitting idle at home while the rest of the medical fraternity is struggling to cope up with what could be the Omicron wave. In the wake of this, I had the opportunity to speak to The Outlook (yes, The Outlook!) regarding the apprehensions of the medical fraternity. You can read about it here.

You can also read about the current state of medical education and where it stands in 2022 over here.
