I am passionate about senior care & Geriatric medicine, got an wonderful opportunity to interact with senior citizens of Vasant Kunj, South Delhi. After talking to them i realised that knowingly or unknowingly we are ignoring or neglecting our senior citizens. They need us, they need our time, they need our humanly talks, they need us to streamline their emotions so spare some time and talk to them, just sit with the senior citizens for sometime and listen to them. We have to enhance our inter generational bonding, i am passionately working on it now i want support from all of you. Let’s talk with our seniors

If govt is serious about strengthening medical education & improve healthcare then reduce the fees of private medical colleges not cut off marks or percentile #NEETPG #0Percentile

[Harjit Singh Bhatti @DrHarjitBhatti]

Due to shortage of doctors, BJP should stop taking NEET exams and instead ask ED/CBI to find out those children who are buying toy stethoscopes or drs sets or playing doctor doctor in parks and offer them MBBS, MD seats according to the paying capacity of their parents. Why waste so much govt resources to conduct exams when scores have no value.

Happy Birthday @iamsrk 💐 Welcome to the new world of Geriatrics, Age beyond 60 was traditionally seen as weak & dependent but you can be role model in this phase of life also living active, healthy, strong, independent and purposeful life.

Why people laughed when i talked about Ayurvedic/homeopathic remedies ? May be all knows it’s a pseudoscience. Stick to evidence based modern medicine to stay healthy & alive #ElderCare #Samvad #SaveElders from #Pseudoscience

Vaccine preventable diseases should be prevented with vaccination. This is simple yet ignored aspect of elder care #Vaccine #ElderCare

What people want from doctors:
1) Don’t ask for fees
2) Give them phone number & be available 24X7
3) Don’t tell them how their lifestyle choices resulted into deterioration of chronic conditions
4) Don’t tell them the damaging effects of ayurvedic & homeopathy #MedicalPractice

If elderly around you are unvaccinated & succumbs to vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) then this is a failure as a society & as an individual. Come forward and create awareness about vaccination for elderly #vaccines #ElderlyCare

[Harjit Singh Bhatti @DrHarjitBhatti]

Honoured to be invited as spl guest by Age Care India's president Padma Shri Dr. D R Kaarthikeyan, (Former Director CBI) to deliver a session on Environment & mental health in elderly chaired by Justice V Ramasubramanian (Chair,NHRC).Program was held at India International Centre

Why number of heart attacks increased after covid vaccination? ICMR denied the causal relationship but do we accept that? I doubt there was gross mismanagement of covid 19 & forced vaccination resulting into this prolonged tragedy #CovidVaccine #HeartAttack
