Imagine shattering your leg in an accident, being rushed to surgery, and discovering the orthopaedic specialist slicing into your bones scored a pathetic 4 out of 800 on the entrance exam — barely scraping the bottom of the barrel. This isn't a nightmare; it's the brutal reality of India's medical admission system, where "social justice" quotas catapult catastrophically low scorers into elite postgraduate seats like MS Orthopaedics, while thousands of truly meritorious candidates — the ones who actually studied — get locked out forever.


Lives are literally on the line, yet politicians preach equality from their VIP hospitals. One viral proposal cuts through the hypocrisy: force MPs, MLAs, judges, ministers, IAS, and IPS to be treated exclusively by these negative/low-mark "doctors." Let them prove their system works — on their own bodies.


  • The jaw-dropping score that defies logic


    4 marks. Out of 800. That's not a typo — it's the abysmal performance of a candidate now training to become an orthopaedic surgeon. Someone who fundamentally failed the test will soon drill into bones, pin fractures, and replace joints. Your bones. One wrong move, and you're crippled for life. All because merit took a back seat to mandated quotas.



  • Thousands of real talents were crushed


    Bright, dedicated students who poured years into preparation, scoring hundreds above qualifying marks, watch helplessly as seats vanish. They don't become doctors. They flip burgers, code apps, or emigrate — brain drain on steroids. Meanwhile, the 4-mark wonder gets the white coat. Fair? No. Fatal? Potentially.



  • "Social justice" turning deadly


    Politicians pat themselves on the back for reservation policies uplifting the marginalized. Noble in theory. In practice? It's gambling with public health. Low-cutoff admissions in reserved categories mean underprepared doctors entering critical specialties. Orthopaedics isn't charity work — it's precision engineering on human skeletons.



  • The sarcastic law that exposes everything


    Force every MP, MLA, judge, minister, IAS, and IPS officer to get their surgeries, treatments, and check-ups only from doctors who qualified with negative or rock-bottom marks. No VIP exceptions. Let them "set an example." watch how fast the system gets "reformed" when their own hips need replacing by a quota beneficiary.



  • Hypocrisy dripping from power corridors


    These elites preach equity from parliament but fly to private hospitals abroad or queue for the best merit-based specialists when sick. They won't trust their health to the system they imposed on you. Why should you? Their kids often bypass quotas anyway — connections and money talk louder.



  • Operating rooms are Russian roulette


    Surgery isn't forgiving. A marginally qualified surgeon means higher complications, botched procedures, lifelong pain, even death. Orthopaedics demands deep knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, pathology. 4/800 suggests none of that. Yet here we are, handing scalpels to failure.



  • The merit students who deserved it


    Candidates with 500+, 600+ marks — true excellence — rejected because seats were "reserved." They studied nights, sacrificed youth, and mastered medicine. Reward? Exclusion. The message: Hard work is optional if you have the right category certificate.



  • Time for real accountability


    This isn't anti-reservation rage — it's pro-patient survival. Reservations need safeguards: minimum competency thresholds, rigorous supplementary training, and zero tolerance for dangerously low qualifiers in life-critical fields. Or pass that law. Make the powerful live their ideology. Until then, pray your surgeon aced the exam — not tanked it.
