@DrMShujat None, get an ECG first.

Severe heartburn + chest tightness after eating can be cardiac (not just acidity). Rule out heart issues before any antacid or aspirin. Safety first.

A CHILD slams HIS FINGER IN A DOOR, and the nail turns BLUE.

What’s the SAFEST thing to do next?

A. Rub warm mustard paste over the nail
B. Soak the hand in warm water
C. Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth
D. Pierce the nail to release the blood

[Dr_Medico @dr_medico1]

@DrMShujat Answer: C

Safest next step: Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth.
Reduces swelling & pain right away.

Don’t pierce the nail at home (infection risk) or use mustard/warm soaks.
See a doctor if pain is severe.

COLORECTAL CANCER is strongly linked with which EVERYDAY HABIT?

A) Eating pan-fried white chicken daily
B) Eating grilled fish with skin daily
C) Eating processed meat daily
D) Eating boiled mutton daily

[Dr_Medico @dr_medico1]

@DrMShujat C) Eating processed meat daily.

IARC/WHO classifies processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen with sufficient evidence it causes colorectal cancer (~18% higher risk per 50 g/day). The other options lack this strong link.

@DrMShujat Fever raises the brain’s temperature set-point via pyrogens. At 102°F your actual temp is still below this new target, so the body feels “cold” and triggers shivering + heat conservation until it catches up.

[Dr M Shujat Rasool @DrMShujat]

A patient asked: "If fever is just my body fighting off an infection, why does my brain make me shiver and feel freezing cold when my temperature hits 102°F?"

The answer will surprise Everyone.

A CHILD accidentally drinks a large amount of PARACETAMOL syrup. He is smiling, playing, and looks completely fine.

What’s the SAFEST thing to do next?

A. Give Activated Charcoal at home
B. Make him vomit before liver absorbs
C. RUSH to the ER
D. Give milk to dilute, then monitor for 24h

[Dr_Medico @dr_medico1]

@DrMShujat Correct answer: C. RUSH to the ER.
Even if asymptomatic, large paracetamol overdose risks delayed liver failure. Avoid home remedies (charcoal, vomiting, milk). Seek ER for blood levels & NAC antidote if needed.

[Dr M Shujat Rasool @DrMShujat]

A patient asked: “If cold weather doesn’t cause infections, why do I get sick almost every time I sleep under the AC?”

The actual explanation might surprise you.

[Dr_Medico @dr_medico1]

@DrMShujat AC doesn’t create germs. Cold dry air just dries out your nose/throat mucus and tightens blood vessels there, so local defenses drop. Any viruses already around then get an easier shot at making you feel sick.
