After seeing large amount of Head and neck carcinomas in Gujarati men, I say, all tobacco, pan masala products should be permanently banned.

[Dr Digant @keepitsimple176]

Data is so wrong and misleading. Also, many cancers have excellent survival e.g. Breast, testicular, Osteosarcoma, ewings, CML, CLL, NHL, HL, Even ALL, PTC, early detected Head and neck Ca and many more.

Cancer treatment is a big Scam all over the world.

Only 10% patients survive over 5 years. 90% of the patients die as the disease is terminal mostly.

All families suffer big Emotional and Financial shock in the aftermath.

Explained Best supportive care to 75 year old patient with metastatic ca lung, who was sitting with his wife. With tears in her eyes, she held his hand. I asked, Do I need to explain it to anyone else? He said no, my wife's already here. Saddening.

An hour after grilling the Shinde Sena on my show, an FIR has finally been registered against ruling party thug Corporator Ramesh Mhatre for assaulting lady doctors.

[UNITED DOCTORS FRONT (UDF) @UDF_BHARAT]

Disgraceful and deeply disturbing.

CCTV footage from a Dombivli hospital shows an elected representative and his associates allegedly assaulting a doctor along with nurses and staff.

Attacks on doctors and healthcare workers are no longer isolated incidents — they are becoming frighteningly common. When those in positions of power engage in such violence, it sends a dangerous message to society.

This is an attack not just on one doctor, but on the entire healthcare system and every citizen who depends on it.

Immediate arrest and strict legal action are the minimum that must happen. No one is above the law.

NEET SS 2025 counselling delays are putting thousands of young doctors' careers on hold.

Every day of uncertainty means lost training time, delayed specialist workforce expansion & increased burden on healthcare services.

A time bound resolution is urgently needed in the interest of both doctors and patients.

[Dr. Priya Pujara Maurya @pujarapriya38]

NEET SS doctors have waited for months while counselling remains stalled.

Sometimes it feels like life would have been easier had we not chosen medicine, or would not have been in this country.

All we seek is clarity which is even hard to get!

Is Telangana’s Health Care at the brink of collapse? A must read & share.

I had first-hand experience of how Telangana’s government healthcare system functions during a real medical emergency yesterday.

When my family member suffered a sudden stroke, I immediately called the 108 Emergency Ambulance Service.

It took nearly 40 minutes for the ambulance to reach us in the Malkajgiri area, despite multiple calls to explain the location. The driver eventually had to be guided via WhatsApp location pin because he couldn’t find the place.

Even after arriving, the driver was unwilling to wait even five minutes to help shift the stroke-affected senior citizen. We somehow managed to rush her to the nearest District Medical Hospital in Malkajgiri (just 4–5 km away).

The doctor there checked her vitals, took a brief history, and immediately referred her to Gandhi Hospital, saying they couldn’t treat her there.

The same 108 ambulance driver, who was still waiting for my signature, refused to take us to Gandhi. He insisted I call 108 again so the system could formally allocate the vehicle. I called the helpline, explained the emergency, and even had the hospital nurse speak to them.

The customer care responded that they were sending an ambulance and put me on conference call with a vehicle near Uppal nearly one hour away. When I asked why they couldn’t simply use the ambulance already present at the hospital, I was told, “It doesn’t work that way. The system allocates.”
After waiting for over an hour, the second 108 ambulance finally arrived to shift the patient (who had a mild brain stroke with high BP and sugar levels) to Gandhi Hospital.

At Gandhi Hospital’s Emergency Ward entrance, two private ambulances were already waiting to unload patients. I overheard security staff saying, “Beds anni full unnai kada… ekkada pedataru vellani?” (All beds are full, where will we keep them?), only to be immediately hushed by another staff member.

When I asked if beds were available, they told me to check for myself. The Emergency Ward was completely overcrowded — not a single bed was free — yet somehow space was made for my patient. We were then asked to get an OP card from a counter a few metres away, which was issued quickly.
The ward was in total chaos. Doctors were handling 4–5 critical patients at a time with no time to even drink water.

The entire overcrowded emergency ward had zero air conditioning.
The doctor we finally met was polite and asked for a CT Brain scan. Getting the requisition form itself involved manual paperwork and stamps. There were no stretchers or wheelchairs available. When I requested one, the nurse said all were in use and suggested checking the storeroom. Luckily, I managed to get one from a helper. (Normally, patients have to deposit their mobile phone as security for the stretcher, but the nurse kindly allowed me to return it later.)
We waited another 30 minutes at Room 131 for the CT scan.

This entire ordeal highlighted the serious gaps in our emergency medical response system.

NEET SS 2025 candidates gave their exam on December 27.

Counselling finally began in March end. Joining date was April 10.

Thousands of doctors resigned from jobs, served notice periods, relocated cities, prepared documents, and put their careers on hold to join super-speciality training.

Then suddenly — counselling stopped because of a court case.

Since then?
Endless adjournments.
No hearing.
No accountability.
No clarity from DGHS or MCC.
No response on helplines.

5000–7000 doctors are now sitting jobless because the system cannot decide its own timeline.

You cannot play with the careers of doctors like this.
These are not numbers.
These are years of sacrifice, hard work, and lost income.

Either resolve the matter urgently or at least communicate transparently.

This silence is cruel.
