I just listened to the original video of the assault with the audio.
The language and profanities, threats to the doctors life, abusive words for their mother and sister are intolerable and unbearable.
This lady should also be booked for the assault. She is the main instigator.

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

62% of Indian resident doctors work more than 36 hours at a stretch. 86% report severe sleep deprivation. 97% earn less than an entry level civil servant. 76% are assaulted while on duty.

We can call ourselves civilised only when we learn to treat our doctors like they treat us.

[Dr Prashant Mishra @drprashantmish6]

Shame on such politicians.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Shameless Shinde Sena Corporator Ramesh Mhatre caught on camera slapping lady doctor & on-duty medical staff at KDMC Hospital, FIR still not registered.

Doctors protest, but zero action against Mhatra who has other criminal cases against him.

WHEN A RULING PARTY BECOMES DRUNK ON THE INTOXICANT OF POWER AND ENTITLEMENT.
Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) corporator Ramesh Mhatre allegedly assaulted a female doctor, a gynecologist, and multiple nursing staff members at the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC)-run Shastrinagar Hospital in Dombivli, Maharashtra, following a dispute over the unavailability of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) beds.
THROW THIS CORPORATOR OUT OF THE PARTY AND JAIL HIM.

An Ideal Doctor—
Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Call him anytime -day or night. Send WhatsApp messages, reports, photos he should reply instantly.
Whenever you need him, whether it’s 5 a.m. or Diwali night, he must be available for treatment.
Every treatment he gives must be 100% accurate.
No disease should be missed.
No complications should ever occur.
Even the laws of nature should not apply to him.
OPD consultation fee should be almost nothing.
After all, we’re “just talking,” so why should there be any fee?
If admitted to the hospital, he should give huge discounts on operation charges,
so we can afford a Deluxe Room and order whatever we want from the canteen or Zomato for a party.
He should prescribe medicines that are easily available everywhere,
and one prescription should last for 4 years — no need for follow-ups, tests, or re-evaluations.
He should consider accepting even a single pen from a pharma company as a sin,
but somehow he must automatically stay updated with all the latest, most expensive, and most effective new medicines.
He must keep studying continuously,
attend conferences and CMEs regularly,
but his clinic should never be closed.
He should have the latest machines, state-of-the-art operation theatres, and the best staff,
but the treatment cost should be like that of a government hospital.
He must personally see every report,
give every patient enough time,
but we should never have to wait when our turn comes in OPD.
He should be available on phone, WhatsApp, video call, messages, and email on every platform,but should never expect that his time also has any value.
We should be able to question him on every piece of advice we get from Google, YouTube, neighbours, relatives, or social media,
but he should never feel bad about it.
He should have 15–20 years of education and experience,
but readily accept defeat in front of our 15-minute internet research.
His hospital should have five-star hotel-like facilities,
but when we see the bill, it should feel like government rates.
He should treat every patient like his own family,
but his own family should be used to the fact that the doctor stays more in the hospital than at home.

He should have no personal life.
No holidays.
No festivals.
No illness.
No tiredness.
And most importantly —
If everything goes well, it is God’s grace.
And if anything goes wrong,
it is only the doctor’s fault.

Because in the eyes of the public, an ideal doctor is someone who:
Carries the responsibility of God,
possesses the honesty of a saint,
and gives the availability of a machine.
Are you an ideal doctor?

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Congratulations @ElonMusk.

Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.

He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.

He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.

Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

@Amy_Siskind He built reusable rockets, electric cars, satellite internet for remote villages, and is trying to get humans to Mars. What exactly do you want him to do Amy, write you a check?

Dear Sai Sudharsan,

Even if you win five consecutive Orange Caps in five years, it still won’t get you a place in T20Is because nobody wants 35-ball fifties and 65-ball hundreds anymore.

My friend who is an Ophthalmologist, he did Ophthalmology from @GrantMedicalCollege. He told he had a professor/HOD in Ophthalmology who wanted to be in Guinness Book for doing most cataract Sx. So, he didn’t give a single Cataract Sx to its resident.
Friend did 4 in 3yrs. Crazy

[Nalini Unagar @NalinisKitchen]

Dear @TRAI,

Imagine your recharge plan is going to expire in 2 days.

Imagine someone is following your sister late at night, and she is trying to call you for help.

Imagine you are injured on the road and desperately trying to call a family member.

But before the call even connects, telecom companies play long warnings like “your plan is expiring soon, please recharge” in two languages. During this warning, the actual call does not connect, and valuable time gets wasted.

In emergency situations, even a few seconds matter. These repeated recharge reminders are extremely frustrating.

We already know when to recharge. Customers should not be forced to listen to long, nonsensical warnings.

Please order all telecom companies to immediately stop these nonsense warnings before calls, or allow the call to connect while the warning plays in the background.

Be serious.

Fed Matt Short to Abhishek for the 3rd time. Didn't bowl out the purple cap holder and their best bowler. Sent Matt Short against spin, Dube against pace. Played Matt Short in big 2026. Took a review for a wide in PP. Made Mhatre run doubles. Asked Mhatre to bat despite the injury. I want to smoke what CSK's leadership is smoking.

[Dinda Academy @academy_dinda]

Jadeja took 2 wickets and conceded just 8 runs in 3 overs, but he didn’t get to bowl his 4th over. Instead, Parag brought himself on to bowl an over.

Burger bowled only two overs, and took a wicket, while a fresh bowler, Brijesh Sharma, was introduced to bowl the death overs 🤡

Riyan Parag made huge captaincy blunders today. #KKRvsRR

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

If you watched the RCB vs SRH match, you must have noticed how Ravichandran Ashwin was barely allowed to speak because Virender Sehwag kept interrupting him.

Every time Ashwin tried to analyze the game, Sehwag shifted the focus to his own stories. It felt like he was trying to dominate the conversation and not letting others express their views.

This isn’t new, he previously disrespected Yuzvendra Chahal as well. Enough is enough now; broadcasters should take action.
