To be a doctor is as hands-on as you can be unless you speak of radiology, but that too is fascinating. You spend four years of your life doing hands-on work during the residency (rote learning?). There is an infinite amount of learning in medicine! Even after so many years of research, we do not understand the human body completely. I don't know what is you mean by boring; as a layperson, everything will seem boring unless you put in the effort to learn more about a field. But still, liver transplant, heart transplant, lung transplant, surgeries, anesthesia, diagnosing unknown diseases are not interesting? (flexibility? there are so many fields) I suggest you visit a Level 1 Trauma center close to your home and see what goes on in there. Reality is more brutal than TV in this case.
It may be boring to you, and that is ok, but it does not negate the fact that it is a challenging field and demands immense hard work to be one.
Please. Being a doctor is boring? It is challenging to be a doctor, and it is almost impossible to cheat through the USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) process. It is a 3 step process, which includes four tough exams taken at registered centers, which are actively monitored. I'm saying this as a spouse of a physician who has gone through the journey, and the amount of work they put in through their med school, USMLE, and then residency is unfathomable. Seeing someone put 14 hours of work every day to achieve their goal is not boring, rather a representation of their desire to drive, achieve, and excel. Also, with so many Indian doctors, it says a lot about their grit and hard work.
That will not help, as the imposter could post a sane tweet impersonating the VIP. The person checking would not be able to identify if it's the VIP or the imposter.
What do you mean by pushed by their families? You don't seem to have a good understanding of educational institutions in India. IIT entrance exams are one of the toughest exams out there. Please read this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Entrance_Examination_–_A...
So even if families pressure their kids, they will not be able to get an admission in these institutes unless they demonstrate required skills.
One solution would be to email your draft to all authors whose content you used in your article and see if they require any amendments. Thanks for writing the article!
When it comes to the admission process aren't all IMG's considered the same irrespective of citizenship. So 5069 (citizens) + (x non-citizens) compete for the remaining seats (6951). Isn't that correct?
I initially agreed to your post, but as I reminisced the interviews I took I disagree and I think its the same everywhere. Second tier schools in US are equally bad and students lack practical knowledge. If I were to take an interview without knowing the persons race I don't think I will be able to bucket them into specific countries based on their performance.
Probably cause the admission committee thought all those students are equally talented as you are. India has a huge population with 50% of its population below the age of 25. India and China together are close to 1/3rd of the worlds population. You should be happy the you are getting to interact with the cream of smart students from these countries :) Key part of education is learning and working with your smart peers.
More than students it would suck for universities, less funding, less infrastructure growth, it would cause a domino effect. If not US then somewhere else, students will figure it out, they are young but it will have a long lasting effect on US. If talented students don't have options out side their home country they will improve the conditions of their home country and cause less brain drain. Especially China and India considering their population.
Do you have any source on India not having top research talent? From my understanding India has good amount of research and tech talent but it suffers a lot from brain drain to US universities. Especially students graduating from Indian institute of technology, national institute of technology + many more. In fact if you look into student (masters, phd) profiles of top US engineering schools like MIT, CMU, Stanford etc. most of the Indian students there have graduate degress from those Indian schools and they are in huge numbers. (who eventually end up at these companies or starting their own)
One of the main reasons for lack of research in India is lack of funding. Its nothing compared to US universities. But that does not imply it lacks talent. In fact primality test in polynomial time was founded by computer scientists at IIT - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKS_primality_test.
You could use akka[1] library to build a state machine, actor model is great for building state machines [2]. I have built one in the past using akka. Library is pretty robust and well maintained.
It may be boring to you, and that is ok, but it does not negate the fact that it is a challenging field and demands immense hard work to be one.
