But I wasn't able to convince my heart to live without doing surgery for the rest of my life.....and now after watching your video , I am 100% determined to take up surgery n be happy. Thank you so much sir... your video is like a blessing to me☺️☺️☺️

    Please also mention about the challenges in taking super speciality as almost everyone is moving towards specialisation. I heard that female surgeons mostly end up in pediatric or plastic surgery , the low workload and low remuneration branches due to work life balance challenges. I know there are always exceptions but broadly speaking.

    I accept everything they told good work . But having children at 37 years is a bit too much it’s personal choice but when we read obgyni text book what ever disease it might be the cause is age >30 years . Being a doctor having kids that late is lame. Dear female surgeons keep in mind if u want 2 children have them with out any complication or risk . U have lots of time to excel professionally but u have only little time to have babies with out risk to baby’s life and yours . Your actions affects entire family. Choose surgery with out thinking if u are Intrested no doubt women are very powerful but do not keep profession above family both can go hand in hand . Don’t take wrong guidance .
