Trying to figure out medicine one breakdown at a time. Ginger tea is the reason I'm surviving.☕

bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.
but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.
People say residency is tough.. Well it was tough at that point of time. But have you seen the after life, the responsibilities post residency when you practice individually and your name goes on records and people, their relatives, the other surgeons need answers. Ah exhaustjng

You're the CEO, a top IT professional, or a working mom of 3.
You're neglecting your health and never take it seriously.
A clear proof is you never get your routine blood tests done.
Stop being scared of blood reports and start getting them done at least 6-monthly.
Here's everything you need to know about which blood tests to get and how to interpret the basic results.
3 free hacks that heal your body faster than most supplements:
1. Morning sunlight within 30 min of waking - resets cortisol, triggers vitamin D, fixes your sleep
2. Walking barefoot on grass - reduces inflammation and grounds your nervous system
3. 8 hours of sleep in a pitch-black room - your body literally cannot repair itself without this
Stop overcomplicating it, my friends.
As a doctor, you can improve your practice by studying the latest guidelines on common diseases like Hypertension,DM,PUD, Mood disorders etc.
E.g 1st line for DM is no longer Metformin . But Metformin + SGLT-2
Btw Clarithromycin is no longer 1st line triple therapy for h.pylori
Insulin Resistance: The Root Cause — From Head to Toe (Part 1)
Insulin is not just a blood sugar–lowering hormone.
It is a master metabolic signal.
After a meal, insulin tells the body that energy is available —
to move glucose into cells, suppress liver glucose output, and shift from breakdown to storage and repair.
Insulin receptors exist in nearly every organ — brain, liver, muscle, fat, blood vessels, thyroid axis, and reproductive tissues.
Insulin resistance begins when this signal is repeatedly overused.
When insulin stays frequently elevated — due to processed foods, frequent snacking, poor sleep, and low activity — cells gradually reduce their responsiveness.
This is a protective biological adaptation.
Insulin is present, often in higher amounts,
but the response is weaker.
Glucose stays longer in circulation,
the liver keeps producing glucose when it should stop,
and higher insulin levels are needed to maintain normal sugars.
Blood sugar may still look normal.
But metabolic signaling is already impaired.
That’s why insulin resistance is not just about diabetes.
It affects the body from head to toe, often years before diagnosis.
This series will explore how insulin resistance impacts each organ —
starting with the brain.
Many patients and even relatives often say that doctors from earlier generations were better, that they did not need so many tests and could just look at the patient and write medicines.
I always smile when I hear this because medicine has never been about guessing, it has always been about precision.
If you were a shooter and your relative stood in front of you with an apple on their head, would you shoot blindfolded or use a laser guided system?
Of course, you would choose the laser, not because you doubt your skill but because accuracy matters when a life is at stake.
That is exactly what modern doctors do. Tests are our laser guidance system. They help us confirm what we suspect, rule out what we must not miss and plan the right treatment for the person sitting in front of us.
Medicine has evolved. We now understand that two diseases can look identical but need completely different treatments. We know that one abnormal test can change the entire course of management. We know that guessing, no matter how experienced the doctor, can cost a life.
Older doctors practiced in a very different era. There were fewer known diseases, fewer available drugs and patients often came at later stages when diagnoses were obvious. Today, illnesses appear earlier, there are many lookalikes and treatments are far more specific. That is why evidence matters.
So when we order tests, it is not about chasing reports, it is about chasing the truth.
We do not test to make money, we test to make sure your treatment is right, safe and complete.
Medicine is not about being old school or new school.
It is about being right. 🎯
Why is charging patients money seen as looting? Even hospitals need to earn.
If something costs Rs.10 outside but Rs 50 in a hospital, it's a "loot."
But the same people pay 400 for Rs50 noodles on a flight without a blink.
Doctor: We'll keep the patient under observation for one more day.
People: Haww! Hospital is looting us. Our patient is fine!
Funny how people are okay paying absurd amounts for everything except health.
If you can afford it, get your child that cosmetic treatment as soon as you can.
The braces, do it.
The acne treatment, do it.
Invest in their appearance as much as you are investing in their education.
