I love peace and believe that the best thing besides fresh air is gratitude from touched lives. No one can change the world but everyone can change themselves
Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.
After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.
This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.
In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.
This is Mel Thacker. She was an American surgeon, she quit
After going through medical school and being a successful surgeon. She left the profession because of what US Heath Insurance Companies have done to healthcare
“So I recently left my career as a surgeon, and I wanted to share that the primary reason I did that is because of moral injury — I felt powerless.
I wanted to prescribe a very cheap medication to my patients, like Budesonide, and their insurance company would deny it, and the pharmacy would tell them it would cost them $300.
And I couldn't tell which patients had the insurance that would do that and which ones didn't. That's just one tiny little example. But multiply that by thousands and thousands of encounters of interactions, of trying to either prescribe a medication or prescribe a treatment plan or do a surgery, and to just be met with roadblocks and layers of bureaucracy that are, quote, unquote, meant to keep healthcare costs down or a patient safe.
But really, don't they just drive a wedge, multiple, multiple wedges between the physician and the patient
And when we keep layering in these roadblocks, preventing the doctor and the patient from having an actual relationship, that's when we make mistakes. And so how do we fix this? We got to get business out of medicine. Healthcare needs to go back to relationship building, to trust. Trust between the physician and the patient.
They need to be put on the pedestal. We need to start there. Not with the shareholders, not with all of the bureaucratic tasks that are meant to keep patients safe, but just increase costs.”

#ISMRM2024 was held in #Singapore this year!
It was my first time to traveling to Asia and I found it to be a wonderful experience.
Singapore is a beautifully designed city-state and 47% green despite being fully urbanized. Even the art is green! For example, the #Supertrees are a sustainable vertical garden, blanketed with over 200 species of plants. They harvest rainwater and solar energy, and act as a climate exhaust for the nearby Cloud Florest and Flower Dome conservatories.
Explore the latest advancements in multi-modal imaging techniques such as PET-MRI, fMRI, and diffusion MRI, and their capacity to ......... https://t.co/VO3DPvLrbJ
