What is the dark side of MBBS?
There are Many Dark Sides Of MBBS. First, you crack NEET exam and get admission in a Big government medical college thinking you are going to become an awesome doctor that everyone looks up to, but soon reality strikes you

FIRST YEAR IS ONLY 9 MONTHS LONG and has a syllabus which is more than compared to your class 11 and 12.

ANATOMY is the biggest subject that i am sure all my fellow medicos and doctors will agree; it is not possible to learn in 9 months. It has huge syllabus which demands you to learn details of every bone,anatomy of brain, all viscera( body organs), relationship of each structure with another structure,draw lot of diagrams for histology, and many times professor will ask you to Redraw them. Along with it, you have PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY. We had to give three test every week in first year and teachers were strict.

Most of us pass, but we rarely feel confident in the subjects. We crammed a lot of things in a short span of time and most of us simply forget what we studied specially anatomy.
The entire distribution of the subjects in the course is flawed
a. 1st year has only 9 months with a huge syllabus
b. In 3rd year there are only 3 subjects which are actually short subjects like ENT and OPHTHALMOLOGY. Syllabus is shorter but time allotted is too longer
c. Final Year: Has four big subjects: Medicine,Surgery,Gynae@Obs and Pediatrics. Along with smaller subjects like Anesthesiology, Psychiatry, Radiology, Orthopedics, Dermatology. It is not possible to learn to so many subjects in one year
Some will argue and say final year subjects are being taught just after beginning of 2nd year, but in 2nd year we already have 4 new subjects to learn. We are hardly mature enough to understand the management of complex disorders since neither we know the pathology or pharmacology and have little knowledge of anatomy.
Mostly we go to Wards and see Patients but the Education System is such that it fails to teach us how to evaluate a patient. Most professors do not care about teaching in wards. You go to an operation theater to learn operation, but mostly it ends up being a selfie session so you can keep it as new DP and boast to your non Medico friends. When I was in 2nd year I saw Cholecystectomy ( removal of gall bladder) and Hernia repair and the surgeons were really good, describing us the steps. Since we had no understanding of the disease or surgery, most of the time I just nodded my head and agreed, but understood nothing
Most of the professors who are very good doctors are sadly not good teachers. Lectures are Boring and Uninspiring. My college has a batch of 250 students. Most of the time you can not even hear what the professor is speaking, and mostly lectures are delivered using a power point presentation where the professor simply reads the slides and goes. I miss my school days where teachers use to draw on blackboard and teach, and classes were more interactive.
The thing that I hate most is education system; the entire system is based on passing and getting few marks so after 6 years you can get a degree. The emphasis to learn and apply knowledge is very less. Many of my professors and seniors just advise to read and pass. Slowly the passion to learn something new and to become a great doctor dies, and the system forces you to read a few books and memorize a few points, and vomit it in exam and VIVA.
Even after studying and passing exams, MBBS degree bears not much value. You are again forced to study for a PG EXAM and get a seat in a branch. This is very sad as General Physicians are required in India more than any specialists. Mostly, people just want to go to Neurosurgeon even for a headache. This forces an MBBS student to study more and there is cut throat competition to get a PG Seat
