How’s the field of emergency medicine in India especially for a lady doc? And where to study this? Is doing this degree abroad good? Like in the UK? There’s a new opportunity where you have to study and work in UK for 3 yrs and you got the degree no admission tests required like the smile in us.

Answer-India is the second most populous country in the world and will soon overtake China in being ‘numero uno’.
There is a growing disparity between the numbers of patients per doctor. In such an atmosphere, Emergency Physicians are a growing need and Emergency Medicine is a dynamic upcoming branch.
Emergency Departments (EDs) are being developed by corporate hospitals and are flourishing. This growth is restricted to corporate hospitals which cater mostly to middle and upper class patients (i.e. the economically well-off). Patients from low income groups cannot afford the costs of investigations and treatment so a vast chunk of patients do not benefit from the ED's in corporate hospitals.
