@MaryBowdenMD Please stop with the quackery. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@DrNeilStone Absolute bullshit.🤦🏻‍♂️

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@JMKerrigan3 @SeeFisch So you have to look into deeper stats of what specialities they are being denied in. US grads usually like going into more competitive specialties which have limited spots to begin with over internal medicine.

In the face of another Mandir desecration, this time in Chino Hills, CA, the Hindu community stand steadfast against hate. Together with the community in Chino Hills and Southern California, we will never let hate take root. Our common humanity and faith will ensure that peace and compassion prevail.

The human race did indeed survive for thousands of years without vaccines

50% of babies didn't make it to their 1st birthday though but you stick to your argument.

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@AnthonyGirand @DrNeilStone Also, not everyone showed up to get tested like they would because of lockdowns. There were cases, just not many.
There’s plenty of reasoning why.

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@AnthonyGirand @DrNeilStone 1)Flu is spread by droplets - this is fact, hence masking prevented the transmission of most infections spread by droplets
2) the incubation times for flu is shorter hence lockdowns stopped the spread
3) travel was cut between countries hence stopping the spread.

Ever seen someone die of tetanus?

I have

It's slow and horrible

Have you?

Probably not.

Every Minute.
The people were lying down, infected with #measles, especially the children, because of the lack of something as essential as the vaccine."

@DrEilidhMaria Yeah but scope for your salary will outgrow theirs in a matter of a few years. It’s the same in the states. PA and NPs would technically get paid more than a resident. You also can’t compare the two.

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@iDrSunny Prob PA or ANP. It’s very common in the US as well for mid levels to do minor cosmetic surgery like Botox and fillers. Dermatology midlevels also do skin bx and lesion removals etc. It’s not really complicated once you’re trained but you still need physician supervision.

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@dralicehan @Mav_Rust This is really sad and upsetting and he should be encouraged to pursue his dream.

But I thought u=u only applies to sexual transmission, not to blood transmission/mother to baby /needle sharing.

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@DrEilidhMaria However physicians do go through more schooling and training overall. So you can’t compare our understanding of medicine, and overall work experience in it.
ACPs don’t go through that kind of training. But in a particular field they might overshadow a trainee physician.

[Kirtan Amin MD @Amin_kirt]

@DrEilidhMaria So here in the US , ACPs like PA and NPs have helped educate and teach residents in community hospital settings. For eg if the acp has 10-20 years in CCU vs an Intern who doesn’t know squat about how a CCU. The ACP is definitely far more experienced in that field.
