Fish and Milk: Kashmir's Eternal Myth
Dietician and nutritionist at #NooraHospital Dr #ShaistaNabi tells #MaleehaSofi that consuming #fish with #milk is safe and claims that it impacts skin is a myth that has survived in #Kashmir for centuries.
How does a lonely penguin or rejected monkey break the internet, while a starving baby in Gaza barely gets noticed? No child deserves to starve or be killed.
Dr. Abhishek Shukla, Geriatrician, explained about snake bite and how to save life.
A tragic incident happened in my village where a woman had gone to the fields, and unfortunately, a snake bit her. She could not survive. This raises an important question — what could have been done to save her life? The biggest mistake was that the correct approach was not followed.
Dr. Abhishek Shukla explains the RIGHT approach for snake bite management:
R – Reassurance:
The first step is to keep the patient calm. Panic increases the spread of venom. Reassure them by saying, “Do not worry, we are taking you to the hospital.”
I – Immobilization:
Keep the patient still and make them lie down on a flat surface. Immobilize the affected limb because unnecessary movement can spread venom faster. Panic may also lead to falls, injuries, and bleeding.
G – Getting to the Hospital:
Take the patient to the nearest hospital immediately without wasting time. Most snake bite deaths happen because of delay in reaching medical care.
H – Handling Properly:
Avoid harmful practices like tying a tight rope, cutting the wound, sucking out venom, or applying herbs, mud, or leaves. These methods increase complications.
T – Telling the Symptoms:
Inform the doctor about the snake’s colour, size, hood, and symptoms like swelling, bleeding, weakness, or breathing difficulty.
India has one of the highest snake bite deaths in the world, but many are preventable. Doctors use the 20-minute Whole Blood Clotting Test (20WBCT) to detect venom effects. If blood does not clot, it may indicate a viper bite, and Anti-Snake Venom (ASV) should be given.
Snake venom can affect the body by causing neurological problems (cobra/krait) or bleeding and swelling (viper).

Dr. Abhishek Shukla (Geriatrician) explained about ABG (Arterial Blood Gas Analysis)
Student: Sir, I am a https://t.co/jLND7YizOg. Nursing second-year student. I often see ICU patients undergoing ABG tests. A strip comes out, and doctors discuss acidosis, alkalosis, CO₂, and oxygen levels, but honestly, I still don’t understand how to read it. Why is ABG done so frequently, and how can I learn to interpret it?
Dr. Abhishek Shukla: Very important question, Riya. ABG stands for Arterial Blood Gas Analysis. It helps us quickly understand what is happening inside a critically ill patient’s body. If a patient is unconscious, drowsy, breathless, or deteriorating, ABG tells us whether the problem is due to oxygen, carbon dioxide, acid-base imbalance, or severe infection.
It requires only 0.5 ml of arterial blood, usually taken from the radial artery, and the result comes within one minute.
The first thing to check is pH. Normal pH is 7.35–7.45. If it is below 7.35, it means acidosis; above 7.45 means alkalosis. Severe acidosis can become life-threatening.
Next is pCO₂ (35–45 mmHg). If it rises very high, like 90, it means the patient is retaining carbon dioxide. This can lead to unconsciousness and is called Type 2 Respiratory Failure.
Then check pO₂, which tells us about oxygen. If oxygen is low while CO₂ is normal, it is called Type 1 Respiratory Failure.
After this, review electrolytes—especially sodium and potassium. Low sodium can cause confusion, while high potassium can disturb the heartbeat.
Finally, look at lactate, glucose, and creatinine. High lactate may suggest sepsis, and high creatinine may indicate kidney failure.
So always remember the ABG rule: pH first, then CO₂, then oxygen, and finally electrolytes. #ABG #ABGTest #ArterialBloodGas #MedEd #ClinicalSkills#ABGInterpretation #AcidBaseBalance #BloodGasAnalysis #NursingStudent #NurseLife #NursingNotes #AIIMSNORCET #mednotes #drabhishekshukla #geriatriccare
Med students, listen up! Today let me explain how to analyze a Liver Function Test (LFT) step by step.
Stop looking at isolated HIGH or LOW flags on a lab report. You need to look at the patterns. Here is how you actually read an LFT panel like a CONSULTANT 👇 (1/10)
This is the most powerful 2 minutes you will watch today.

Must Watch 👏
Didn't the same tiny percentage of Kashmiri Pandits sucked the blood of ordinary Kashmiri Muslims during the Dogra rule? They had always been historic oppressors and many KPs had already left the valley in search of greener pastures long before 1990s.
So, spare me your sob stories.
None of your claims are true regarding Muslims.
I also don't have the time to waste on a Sanghi bigot. You keep peddling such bigotry. I certainly don't feel the need to convince you are persuade you because what you are afflicted with cannot be cured with facts and logical arguments. It would need other methods. So, don't waste my time.
