In 3 decades of Govt Service, I have been assaulted around 15 times on duty, just like the drs in the video are. Every single time, I have given a complaint to the Dean,RMO & the local Inspector of Police in writing. How many goons hv been prosecuted- ZERO.
Why was this politician atleast arrested? Coz, the incident was caught on CCTV and the victim was both a female & Dalit Dr. Does anyone talk abt the male Dr, who was also assaulted? No.
Violence to settle things is the norm , rather than the exception in India- one of the most primitive/brutal societies in the world. Believe me, every single day there is an assault on a Tamilnadu Govt Dr, posted in this or that WhatsApp grp. How many r prosecuted? To my knowledge, none.
Once I was assaulted with bleeding injuries on duty at a local GH, walked up to the police outpost and with blood dripping from my body on the complaint paper, gave a written complaint addressed to the Police Inspector. Later, the case also came to court. Nurses & wardboys testified as witnesses. I identified the assailants & weapons in court.
The judge who sat in the case was an honest upright lady. I was then treating her father. I cd see that she was determined that justice be delivered. What happened? Ultimately the case was dismissed. The honest Inspector later met me & was fuming. "Sir, what can I do? In TN, everything is politicised. Our (honest) DC has received calls from 3 ministers. The APP has received 'calls'. All the witnesses who testified for u, later turned hostile. Their families have been threatened with death. Sometimes, I feel like resigning sir. There is no justice in Tamilnadu." Remember that was an Inspector of Police speaking.
If you are a medical student/intern/ resident, get your degrees & get the f*** out of this thankless country. I have a hundred more incidents to relate.
🧵 How to Read a Lipid Profile — A Simple Clinical Guide
1/ Your lipid profile is more than “cholesterol.”
It helps estimate future risk of heart attack, stroke, and blocked arteries.
The key numbers are:
• Total cholesterol
• LDL-C
• HDL-C
• Triglycerides
• Non-HDL-C
• Sometimes ApoB and Lp(a)
@TrackYourHeart How to remember this:
- use the hard detail of propofol (in this case, "causes rhabdo") and link it to something more familiar (Rhabdomyolysis is in ECG basket because "it's the initial test for it")
Result: you target propofol's hard detail + revisit old topics
✓ C. Rhabdomyolysis.
∆ Propofol Infusion Syndrome.
• PRIS is a rare but lethal complication of prolonged, high‑dose propofol infusion (typically >4 mg/kg/hour for >24–48 hours), especially in critically ill or debilitated patients.
• Hallmark features include metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, hyperlipidemia, bradycardia, myocardial failure, and acute renal failure, often leading to cardiac arrest and death.
• Malignant hyperthermia is linked to volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine, serotonin syndrome to excess serotonergic drugs, and hyperkalemia is a component of PRIS but not the named syndrome itself.
Dear fellow Indians,
Please have a look at the salary of General duty medical officer and others given by AIIMS Delhi. Kindly compare it nursing staff
I wonder what AIIMS want to say to people of India and doctors community.
Also I am confused on why some figures look like monthly salary and some look like annual salary.
I would be happy if any one clarify me on it
Addison’s disease
the ultimate endocrine impostor of ✅️depression
Crashing cortisol triggers crushing fatigue, soul crushing anhedonia, brain fog & irritability that fools many into a psych label.
But the clues scream bronze skin, salt cravings & stubborn hypotension.
