Seeing posts of people especially physicians taking statin + ezetimibe “just in case”?
Don’t fall for it.
These drugs are not general wellness supplements.
✅They are meant for selected group of people:
• Established Coronary Artery Disease
• Prior stroke
• Diabetes (selected patients)
• Very high LDL
�� High calculated cardiovascular risk
You usually do NOT need statins or ezetimibe if you have:
• Normal reports
• No major risk factors
• Low overall risk
▶���Important truth:
Medicines are not harmless. Statins can cause muscle symptoms (myalgia, rhabdomyolysis), liver enzyme elevation and rare metabolic effects including diabetes. Therefore, benefits must clearly outweigh risks if you decide to take statins.
🔴Biggest mistake is starting lifelong medication without proper risk assessment.
✅You should focus on:
• Exercise
• Healthy diet
• Optimum Sleep
• Blood pressure control
• Regular screening
“Take statins when indicated. Not out of fear.”

Just because you're a doctor doesn't mean you're superior. Patients are already scared and unwell — they don’t need to be shouted at. They need empathy, not authority. Healing starts with kindness. #MedTwitter
Every year UPSC exam brings a heartwarming story to the forefront.
This is Birdev. A always smiling and positive boy from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. He came to know about his UPSC result while he was shepherding the family sheep. The family gathered around for his felicitation where they live. His father does not know much about the civil service examinations. But he knows that his son is bright and hard-working.
Birdev spent his childhood shepherding the family sheep in the hills and studying under the open sky. The boy who used to study on the school veranda because there was no pucca house to study in, now clears the UPSC exam.
Feel fortunate that I witnessed his UPSC journey in Pune. Congratulations Birdev. AIR 551.

चि. परीक्षित,
तुला वा��दिवसाच्या खूप खूप शुभेच्छा. खूप यशस्वी हो. पाय जमिनीवर ठेऊन आभाळाला गवसणी घाल. कुठल्याही माध्यमातून कर पण गोरगरिबांची मनोभावे सेवा कर. शतायुषी हो बाळा..

Covaxin/ Covishield are about 65% effective against Delta. Meaning, if 100 fully vaccinated people get exposed, 35 will still catch Covid. BUT, those 35 have great protection against serious disease & almost all of them, will forever finish Pandemic for themselves in mere 9 days.
