Disillusioned, Skeptical, Orthopedic surgeon, maybe not in that order. X ray is a cautionary tale.

Relax, you’ll graduate. You’ll become a doctor. You’ll clear NEET-PG in the branch of your choice. You’ll complete your post-graduation. Then you’ll clear NEET-SS and become a super-specialist doctor. You’ll find someone who truly loves you, and together, you’ll open a clinic. Then one day, a patient’s relative will file a case of medical negligence and take all your savings, or worse, stab you with scissors and burn down your clinic. Don’t worry, you’ll regret choosing MBBS then.

*"DOCTORS VS JUDGES"*

Dr Ramesh Ganesan asked a medicolegal question :

Judiciary should also come under CPA (Consumer Protection Act).

--In the Salman Khan hit and run case, the LOWER court judge and the HIGH court judge had the SAME pieces of EVIDENCE to deal with.

--They also had the SAME Indian LAW to abide by and most probably they had similar educational qualifications too.

--Yet they INTERPRETED the situation in absolutely CONTRASTING manner and gave verdicts which are poles apart.

--Just imagine what would have happened if a YOUNG doctor sitting in a GOVERNMENT hospital, catering to hundreds of patients in a day, had diagnosed a celebrity patient presented with gastric discomfort as GASTRITIS and another hospital had LATER on diagnosed that patient to be having a MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. I am sure that doctor would have been screwed and jailed.

--A JUDGE gets YEARS to decide on a case unlike a DOCTOR who is expected to diagnose and treat everything in the BLINK of an eye.

--If a doctor making a wrong diagnosis can be prosecuted, shouldn't a judge giving wrong verdicts meet the same fate?

--If hospitals can be sued for not admitting poor patients, shouldn't the courts be prosecuted for having lacs of impending cases?

--Is it not appalling that a judge who takes 12 years to give a wrong verdict gets away unhurt and a doctor making one mistake is screwed by our legal system?

--Doctors practice medicine which is more of an art than an exact science, whereas law is absolutely 100% manmade, yet doctors are expected to be right on all occasions.

--If doctors and hospitals have a duty towards the society then does the judiciary not have a responsibility towards the socitey.

--If there is so much of hue and cry in media about doctors and hospitals charging huge sums from patients, then why do we not ever hear a word on the fee that lawyers like Manu Singhvi and Jethmalani charge for their court appearances.

--Government often talks about putting a capping on the fees doctors charge for various procedures but there is no talk of putting a capping on the fee that these lawyers charge to get justice for their clients.

--If health is a citizen's right, then so is justice. Shall we think about taking our minds off worshipping false heroes ?

@orthochick Thank you, we did total femur for this patient.

[Libin Thomas M @drlibinthomas]

@DrLeeRubin Thank you, finally what was decided and executed was completion to a total femur replacement (TFR)

A young female boxer has just had everything she’s worked and trained for snatched away because you allowed a male to get in the ring with her. You’re a disgrace, your ‘safeguarding’ is a joke and #Paris24 will be forever tarnished by the brutal injustice done to Carini.

[Linly_ReddHottForge @Linly001]

@OliLondonTV So far this @Olympics has been a total mess. It will forever be known as the worst olympics ever. Shame on France and shame on @Olympics

[Jungleball2 @JungleBall_2]

@OliLondonTV The young female boxer said she had never been hit so hard in her life, the world should be outraged!

[Libin Thomas M @drlibinthomas]

@jointdocShields Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[Libin Thomas M @drlibinthomas]

@jointdocShields This was a periprosthetic primary TKA, that failed and ended up with this mega prosthesis. Now this too has failed. What are the options now?

Finally, as a trauma surgeon, I have to point out one of my favorite teaching points: The flow rate of a 16 G IV is **twice** that of an 18 G IV.

So the difference between those two IV's may not sound much at first, but it makes a big difference for major resuscitations.
