A Mumbai govt hospital advised a pregnant woman's family to consider transferring her elsewhere, as pre-delivery fetal assessment indicates her newborn will likely require NICU care, and all of their NICU beds are currently occupied.
The woman's husband called Shiv Sena (Shinde) corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who arrived with his goons and assaulted doctors and nurses.
If you understand how hospitals work, you'll know a bed not being available is not the doctor's fault. You can't ask another critical newborn to vacate a bed, nor can you provide NICU care on the floor, nor can you "arrange bed from some other dept" because a NICU bed isn't just a bed, it comes with ventilators, monitors, oxygen, infusion pumps, and other life-support equipment.
So the blame, if any, goes on the govt. But doctors are the easiest targets, and assaulting them earns politicians easy political mileage.
I know some will say, "Doctors are evil and deserve it," and that's fine. I'm not seeking sympathy. This post is for parents and medical aspirants. Unless your parents own a hospital, you choose govt jobs with better working conditions like the Army, paramilitary, or Railways, plan to pursue USMLE (or an equivalent pathway), or intend to move to private practice where you can arrange your own security, think carefully before choosing this profession.
Most govt hospitals are hellholes. You can serve patients well for decades and still end up being abused or assaulted by a tenth-pass corporator, a publicity-hungry politician chasing cameras, or patient relatives who think every death could have been prevented if only the doctor had "tried harder."

Shrimp sign has an 85% sensitivity, 100% specificity and 100% PPV for diagnosing PML. Asymmetry of the MCP lesions is paramount! Ajay Garg et al published one such case highlighting the "Shrimp sign" 🍤 in PML. @neuro_ian#PML Link: 10.4103/aian.aian_932_23
Incidental findings: common, often benign--but not always. This review updates ACR guidance, highlights gaps, and challenges prior recommendations across organs. A must-read to refine management and avoid unnecessary workup. @UCDRadiology https://t.co/SFsxFZA1LA
Case of the Day - 190 - Septal Thickening and Infiltrative Lung Disease
51-years old with progressive dyspnea.
CT scan shows
1. Septal thickening - mostly regular - some irregularity
2. Variable-sized, randomly distributed nodules
3. Irregular fissural thickening
4. Cystic change
5. Lymphadenopathy - subtle calcification
Diagnosis?
The video describes the case, a flow-chart of how to approach septal thickening (with the earlier flow charts of ground glass plus septal thickening and diffuse small nodules) and explains how the diagnosis was reached.

Dx: Spigelian Hernia
Findings: Fat containing hernia protruding thru a weakness in the Spigelian fascia (or semilunaris line) in the ventral abdominal wall, lateral to the umbilicus. Confirm reducibility, as there is high risk of incarceration with these rare hernias.

Two erosions.
One due to gout.
The other one is due to RA.
