Dear fellow residents. I joined MD medicine as an aspirant physician. But off late I realise Indian residency is a health hazard. Dept. will increase our 10 nights/month to alternate day 36 hr shifts from next month. I won't be able to function.Planning to leave and prepare for Radio. Opinion

Same as above. I won't do any part time job and prepare sincerely. Also 1 of our co-pg's left midway so we now have 10 nights/month instead of 8.

Most of time my body doesn't recover from sleep and I suffer from chronic stress, anxiety and restlessness.

I have never been the same ever since I joined residency.

Plz give feedback and opinion

I am unable to pursue medicine residency further. Just pushing myself everyday against the wish. I cannot cope up with stress and working hours. Department is non-toxic but I feel I am not made for this branch. I am ok with preparing again. Should I quit if it's ruining me from within?

Opinion would be highly helpful
