Let me jot down what DRK told me. I respect the man for what he taught us despite never teaching us in the literal sense of the word.I value my postings in his unit as the best I have ever had ...with DRK, Andy, Salil, Maithili ( and even Sabsi- she taught me the most important lesson in medicine, perhaps unknowingly to herself)- I owe these guys a lot.I feel guilty for not having been in touch with Maithili after all the help she provided me after the tough time I had in my second year what with my grandma's illness and death and my disillusionment with medicine.I feel even more guilty for having never having expressed my thankfulness to her.
Anyways:
1) Look at doing something that would benefit me in the long run and not run of the mill stuff.
2) For a third person to know how good I am, what I have in my name- namely publications count.No one will take notice of you unless you show them the wares.
3) Present what you got.It might not be spectacular , but show it to the people around you, if not the entire medical fraternity. Present my thesis at a MAPICON or something like that.
4) It dosent take time, it just takes an idea.'Lack of time' is something we have invented to save our skins.
5) Money is important.
6) Being a small fish in a big RCT ain't so good as getting a decent publication from anywhere else- be it BJ or anywhere.
7) You are 28- don't waste time.
Also :
a) A certain Avinash Patwardhan- UMass /Wisconsin....confirm
b) Dr Gandola , endocrine, Buffalo.

There is a UG exchange program that they are working on, toh PG ka chances bhi seem slightly brighter than other places
see if want to write him a mail or something, if you do, i'll send you the email id, he is pretty considerate of GSite FMGs (or so we hope)
Thanx Swati.Was wondering why UMass will open shop in, brrr, Wisconsin.
Shall mail him when I am back fm Vellore.
just an observation, nothing else (from a sample size of some 3-4 girls)...there's something about rafa that makes girls root for him i've noticed.
on another note, i'm grossly unqualified to give advice on this, (or any other issue for that matter...so do take this in good faith) but someone i know pointed it out that the cleveland clinic website seems to show most of their IM, peds and fellowship programs populated largely (strange!) by IMG residents...might be worth a dekko. the funda is that they don't like training US residents cuz in the long term it adds to the local competition for the Clinic apparently(??).
CC is populated by IMGs who have worked for years in England. Not fresh starters.Others are doin prelims.
Rafa...its those biceps I guess.As much as they would like us to believe that they are more supratentorially evolved species....its these endowments that they look for.Why do U think girls were rooting for the Italian soccer team.
excuse me?! now this is parochial! and puerile at the same time! and an example of the fact that men bitch, a lot more than women who have been accused of it for far too long
Did you not root for the Italian soccer team at the WC?
Dont you think Daniel Vettori is a great player?And Jenson Button is the best F1 driver in ages.If you dont...well most girls/ladies I know do.Sorry bout tht...didnt want to ruffle thy feminist feathers:-)
