Firstly hats off for studying so hard and becoming a doctor...Thanks so much for letting me know..I'd like to ask you few more questions...
1) do your doctor friends prefer a non doctor wife or a doctor.. medico or non medico what's their preference n why?
2) do u find abhi birla's character relatable? Ever heard of any doctor having a love story like his?
3) also the music therapy in the serial..how accurate or non accurate u find it..
1) Others can have different opinion but I will be honest...what i have seen so far in my medical circle -
Doctor boy wants doctor wife...majority...Some doctor wives are of higher specialized field than him while other doctor wives are of lesser busier specialized field..e.g. Gynaecology is very busy for ladies..and emergencies too. Most of the doctor boys and girls get set during their medical college studies only...
if Doctor boy wants to go abroad then he will compromise with girl from any other field to get the green card or citizen tag..
I am unmarried so I don't know why they choose that way...But main reason is their thinking is of same level and they understand each other better...I have not come across any marriage failure between doctors so far in my surroundings.
The doctor boys, who are not on top during medical studies...they have chosen non-medico girls who can take care of him and their kids and family...for more peaceful life.
2) Yes I find Abhimaniyu Birla's character relatable. but i have not heard of such love story so far..
Abhimaniyu as a doctor has compassion and he fulfills his duty with his best. He gets that compassion and love from his mother despite being emotionally traumatized from very young age..
One personal scenario i witnessed was - A girl from particular religion (I will not name it) ...she was in my batch.. She was brilliant in studies..she was one of the toppers of my batch..suddenly before she completes her MBBS studies, her parents stopped her form coming to the college and got her married. I am not able to recall much but her mother was supportive but can't do anything against her husband.
3) Music therapy...I have no idea...
but in general, personally...I was practicing in Northern Canada in rural areas..where winters are very depressive...I go in dark at 8 o'clock to the hospital and come back in the evening after sunset...hectic working schedule.
So i was using some soothing music clips for meditation e.g. water flowing sound, tinkling bells in serene nature...and I was playing some sad songs too to let flow my tears from eyes and sometimes happy songs...It had always helped me to reduce my stress, make me reenergize and ready for work again...I was doing this during weekend mostly...
Everyday When I leave from home to hospital...I had one particular song that I would play all 365 days 😆...that uplifts me to another level...
So music does help tremendously to heal within..
But what is shown in this show seems little off...Initially Akshara was shown talking on phone to patient's relatives of sending them some music clips that will help the patient etc...But then they showed such pathetic song selection in the hospital and that too in the OT ...that was very foolish...Yes prayers are ok outside OT to clam the relatives and give mental strength..but not in OT and during acute care..
To me, music therapy has role in healing after treatment and definitely in reducing stress, anxiety..mental issues...whether doctors or patients both...
Hope this finds insightful 1%...😆...because I am young too and do not like to hear stories or news unnecessarily...These are things I noticed so far in my life..
People may have different experiences and opinions...
