I was on an emergency call last week, and four of our alarms came from a national prison. I had the opportunity to accompany an inmate with acute chest pain. On our way to the Cardiology department, he began to spontaneously narrate his story, CONTINUE IN THE COMMENT SECTION๐๐
Because one day, every one of us will be the one in that bed โ and what we'll need most is someone to pull up a chair and say, "I'm here."
We don't talk about that part enough. #specialist#internalmedicine#doctor#medicine
The longer I stay in Medicine, the more I discover that whom you get married to is way MORE IMPORTANT than when you get married, let me explain:
Some mornings in the hospital cut straight to the bone.
You watch one patient wake up to an empty room.

Watching that contrast reminds me of something easy to forget: the things that matter most in life aren't careers, titles, or money. They're the people we keep close.
Then the kids walk in, and the room fills with laughter, old stories, and reminders of who that person is outside these hospital walls.
Medicine can treat a lot of things. But it can't give you that. There's something powerful about being loved through your hardest days.
Every time the door opens, they glance over, hoping someone came for them. But no one does.
A few beds away, another patient wakes up to their husband or wife asleep in the corner chair โ the same person who chose them years ago.
A 19-year old broke into India's largest high school examination system of 2M+ students a year, the CBSE, and was able to view and CHANGE any students' marks.
He responsibly wrote to the team 3 months ago, and it took them 3 days to fix only one of the issues. Today, they took the entire website down.
This is a absolute embarrassment. The futures and lives of millions rests in the hands of the utterly incompetent. There is also no mass media reporting on the matter.
This topic is close to me because not only is this the education system I went through, but 12 years ago and silently for 5yrs since, I'd written about and reported a much less severe vulnerability allowing me to scrape these results too. More than a decade later, not much has changed.
This 19yo, Nisarga Adhikary, wrote a great piece outlining each vulnerability he reverse engineered:
- the master password leak
- the client-side 2fac / OTP validation workaround
- tokenless access to the entire internal app (dashboard, evaluator details, etc) setting dummy browser values
- changing any password without knowing the old one
- an IDOR vuln allowing you to act as any user and edit exam marks
For those interested in a beautiful study in security breaches, this is a must read (link below).
If there's any light at the end of the tunnel, it's that a 19yo who never went to college can do things 99% of top engineers couldn't figure out.
No matter how beautiful or handsome you are whether you dress like Nicki Minaj or Ryan Goslin if you have bad behavior and a nasty attitude, my darling, you are very ugly
I was watching an episode of CRUISE on YouTube where 3 people have to determine if the contestants were NEPO or LAPO babies, in other words either born with a silver spoon or plastic spoon. I discovered your background shapes your identity, who you really become
