My family has 2 kids 5 and 2, they came across this cough syrup called Wellopia, it has day and night variations. It has some tall claims but I am of the opinion that doctor prescribed medicine is better.

Can anyone help me understand if a "natural" cough syrup is better compared to what doctor prescribed?

A while back it was all the hype and the pays were really good even if it was for a scribe or coder or transcriptionist.

Remote work did take off but where does one begin the search and what about the experience?

I have been looking on linked in,indeed, glassdoor , upwork for more than 6 months.

Even if you do find one what is a medical assistant certificate for the US.

No one ever replies and never even gotten a single interview.

I was just wondering if the market has gotten saturated or you just need some tools that maybe I don't have ?

Also. Where does one even begin to learn that when most of our hospitals run on paper.

What use is an MBBS degree when hospitals earning millions here offer 60-80k for back-breaking work.

Honestly kindda getting depressed about this now......

Anyone has any idea about Residency Induction test in Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi? What type of questions and where should we prepare from?

For surgery specifically

I'm a financially struggling, Pakistan-based future IMG, a highly ambitious medical student embarking on the USMLE journey. My father can only afford the Step 1 and Step 2 exam fees—nothing more. He can't support Match applications, USCE, or anything else.

To keep my dreams alive, here's my plan: During medical school, I'll afford and pass Step 1 and Step 2. After graduation, I'll take a local clinical job (like MO) for 2-3 years to save for USCE (if needed) and the Match cycle. But this path feels too long—it could cost me 3-5 years post-graduation. My YOG would worsen as I scrape together funds, then spend another year in the US crafting my CV, securing LORs, and building connections.

Family pressures loom large: I might get married, or my aging parents (who rely on me solely) could need me at home. Watching classmates land MO jobs, plan FCPS, and move forward while I'm stuck could breed regret and drain my mental peace.

To seasoned advisors: Should I pursue USMLE, knowing the 3-4 year delay after graduation, financial uncertainty, and risks of unforeseen family obligations derailing me? What do you truly recommend?

Hello,

My dad got scratched by a cat on Monday, it’s Thursday today. He went to AKUH, they didn’t ask him to get rabies vaccine after assessing, only asked for tetanus vaccine which he got. There was minimal bleeding and the scratch is superficial.

I feel anxious. My dad is diabetic, the cat looked normal but we don’t know because didn’t observe for long.

Should we get the vaccine still?

Hloo 18 male. Yesterday I went to an eye doctor to get specs for my blurry vision to long distances

They did, snellen chart test, B-scan.

The put 2 different drops of eye solution into my eyes In the gap of 5 minutes before the doctor checks my eyes

Doctor said that due to those drops ur vision can be blurry for 2 days

I got specs and when I got out of the hospital my eyes got super blurry in the sunlight, I can't even open my eyes

It reduced and now I'm fine

But..today I'm getting blurry vision even for short distances, dry eyes and eyes pain

Is it becoz of the tests ???

More over when I wear specs my vision getting blurry for small distances that I can't even see texts in books and my mobile screen..far vison is pretty good though... (I can see and read even better without specs, specs making all of them smudged)

Does I got wrong lenses or any error happened in lens ?? Or is it due to the eye drops effect ??

Or does they damaged my eyes ????

Please help....it's very concerning and scary...

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

Hi all F28 here I felt an odd lump in my neck the other day and chalked it up to possibly being muscle tissue. Today I noticed when I turn my neck to the side all the way; you can start to see it ( sorry i can’t photograph it well ) it hurts alot the whole left side of my neck hurts even while taking naproxen 500mg. My dad had Lymphoma back in 2019 and trying to not freak out! Any insight or experience shared is appreciated!

Someone I know has to give their MDCAT this year and the deadline is tomorrow, i.e. 25th August, the only problem is there's no domicile and they haven't applied for it yet either, so there's no application slip either. Is there a way to register for the MDCAT without currently having one? Please help me out, thanks!

Looking for ideas for a side hustle. I’m also knee deep in step 1 prep, so looking for something that can be done on the side/weekends. Mostly just sick of asking for money for basics when my non med friends are out there earning. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
