Doctors in the Mumbai hospitals like Sion and KEM,have emerged as the heroes of the tragedy that unfolded in the wake of the serial blasts on commuter trains on last tuesday, working shifts of up to 30 hours to care for the more than 700 people injured in the attacks.
The doctors swung into action shortly after the blasts occurred within a span of 30 minutes on Tuesday evening, performing life-saving surgeries and providing first aid to those who escaped with minor wounds.
Doctors worked continuously for 30 hours.
Kudos to all Mumbai doctors who worked for the needy people.

MBBS in Russia/China
In an effort to compete with medical schools in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, Russian medical schools have recently been targeting Indian students through regional recruitment fairs and the five regional offices of the Russian Education Foundation, in a campaign to lure them with cheap fees.
Admissions to Russian universities has picked up after a six-year low following the amendment of the Indian Medical Council Act in March 2002.The act states that Indian students can seek admission to any state university in Russia listed in the directory of medical schools of the World Health Organization. Previously, only 11 universities offering bachelor of medicine/bachelor of surgery (MBBS) degree were recognized by the Indian government.
Fees for MBBS courses in Russia run from US$2,000 to US$3,000 depending on the institution. Only “leading” universities offer instruction in English.The Degree is recognised by WHO and the MBBS graduate can practice in India after clearing screening test by Medical Council of India.Fees in Medical Universities of China are almost same.

PLAB Cancelled in India!
Britain has officially cancelled the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test it has held in India for a decade for the rest of this year in what is seen as yet another, possibly final, attempt to limit the entry of non-European Union doctors into the UK.
The announcement of the cancelled PLAB-Part 1 exam was made by the General Medical Council (GMC), which conducts the assessment to certify non-EU doctors to practice medicine in the UK.
The exam has been cancelled in all locations outside the UK. The GMC claimed the decision was taken because of "low demand".
Till March, hundreds of Indian doctors routinely took and passed the PLAB-Part 1 at home, only to flood into Britain looking for scarce jobs and training posts.

Some facts of PGM-CET 2006
As first round for admissions to PG courses through PGM-CET 2006 is over,many open category students have contacted and put forward some facts.
Top 5 Medical Colleges preferred-
1. Seth G.S.Medical College,Mumbai
2. L.T.M.Medical College,Mumbai
3. B.J.Medical College,Pune
4. T.N.Medical College,Mumbai
5. G.M.C.,Mumbai
As we all know, 50% seats are reserved and 50% seats are for Open Category.
But 22 seats from open quota went to the students of reservation categories due to Ear marking. And more than half of these were from the top 4 Medical colleges of mumbai i.e. 15 seats. Thus open category students are getting even less than 50% seats. i.e. 46.01% seats of Maharashtra (252 / 547) and 44.24% seats of the top 4 medical colleges of Mumbai (123 / 278).
This in spite of the fact that in the-
First 50, 43 are from open category.
First 100, 77 are from open category.
First 200, 145 are from open category.
The figures can be confirmed from offical website of DMER.
