A female Intern doctor was forcibly slapped twice by a Radio technician in CIMS , Chattisgarh and don’t be surprised to what their hospital administration did ?
“Beta ignore that incident as that guy is having mental illness”
And no action is being taken yet against him .
Today he dared to slap , tomorrow he will try to molest another woman .
This is the level of harassment Indian women face silently !
@vishnudsai to pls take cognisance of the matter .
To all the doctors out there,
especially interns and residents
(and nurses too)
we have normalised a lot of things over the last few years
which might not have been normal earlier...
these are general stuff that says, "yeah, we are doctors, but we are human so we do this also..."
so for example
Sleeping with the head placed down on the table
Or on a chair in the casualty
Dancing and chatting and giggling around in the wards
Wearing casual clothes, chappals etc
Now, while I am all about being chill and relaxed...
This creates a false impression to the patient or their relatives
They think one is being unprofessional
Not doing their duty correctly
Here is what I practice personally:
1) Formal clothes/scrubs and shoes when in hospital.
2) When I'm sleepy, I go to the doctor's room and sleep, and the door is shut.
3) Casual conversations are held away from patients or their attendants
4) No goofy stuff in public like teasing each other, hitting/tickling people etc, which I have seen many people do
5) I live on campus so it is not possible to be in uniform at all times; but when I venture out at night, it is in decent clothes
6) Daily bath, grooming to look presentable at times; takes 10 -15 minutes etc
What is your take on this?
Anemia in CKD 👇🏽
We all know that CKD = ⤵️EPO
What's the mechanism?
The interstitial cells transdifferentiate into MYOFIBROBLASTS instead of EPO producing cells
⤵️ EPO producing cells = ⤵️EPO = Anemia

I was teaching third year medical students about acute kidney injury and the lecture begins with a brief history of extracorporeal dialysis for AKI. I asked a student what extracorporeal dialysis was, and he correctly identified it as “dialysis outside the body”
