@SubbaRaoTN The most important lesson from this video is that the male friends are taking care of them and carefully assisting them to their homes or wherever they need to go.. while the persons taking the video and sharing them online, unabashedly slut shames them..2 sides of reality..🌹

Didn't know so many doctors in India suffer from Stockholm syndrome...that unless you've given your last drop of life to the profession, you haven't "worked hard enough"..such delusional perception of a profession and the false grandeur gives them the god complex (1/n)..

and needs to be reflected on..quality over quantity should be the main focus..doing same mistake 100 times over doesn't make you a better doctor..probably doing it right just once may make you one..for this residency training needs to be within the normal limits of sanity. (fin)
