Extra-Ordinary Footage of Uncontacted Tribes - Video Released



Extraordinary aerial footage of uncontacted Amazon tribe released


This unique film shows uncontacted Indians on the Brazil-Peru border in never-seen-before detail. It is the first-ever aerial footage of an uncontacted community. The footage was filmed by the BBC in collaboration with the Brazilian government, for the new BBC 1 ‘Human Planet’ series.










Peru’s President Garcia has publicly suggested uncontacted tribes have been ‘invented’ by ‘environmentalists’ opposed to oil exploration in the Amazon, while another spokesperson compared them to the Loch Ness monster. In fact, there are more than one hundred uncontacted tribes around the world.

Alternative Career Zone for Medical (MBBS) Students


I have personally seen Many Doctors, who have left this field after MBBS, some did this in Frustration and some were in hurry for a Good Job and Good Money. In Pakistan, many MBBS doctors take the exam of CSS (Competitive Exam - Civil Superior Services) after completing MBBS, and join Civil Services. Its a Federal Government Job of BPS Grade 17, Early promotion chances are good in this job and pay scale usually starts form 25 to 30,000. After MBBS u can do MBA also to join Pharmaceutical Companies, if you are smart enough you can join these Drug Companies without doing MBA. The Pay Scale in these companies start from 20 to 30,000 and goes up with the experience. There are many MBBS doctors who dont want to interact with the patients, but they want to work in hospitals, they can do MBA in Hospital Administration, and can join Hospitals with Great Pay. Another option is Certification/Diploma in Clinical Research after MBBS, and join Clinical Research Institutes. You can join Army as a Captain after clearing their Exams. Other than CSS, there are other competitive exams also like PCS, Commission Exam for Lecturer Ship. Biotechnology and Bio-Informatics are two other options after MBBS. There must be lot other options also, but i am not familiar with them yet ......

Summarizing:


  • CSS

  • MBA (Pharmaceuticals)

  • MBA (Hospital Administration)

  • CLINICAL RESEARCH

  • ARMY

  • PCS

  • LECTURER SHIP

  • BIO-TECHNOLOGY

  • BIO-INFORMATICS
