[Dr. Rafi @DrRafi_]

Suspending postgraduate trainees for demanding justice after the horrific acid attack on Dr Mahnoor Nasir is not discipline, it is intimidation.

The real misconduct is failing to protect doctors inside hospitals, then punishing those who raise their voice.

A PGR was attacked with acid on duty. Instead of ensuring security, accountability and justice, the system is targeting her colleagues.

This action must be withdrawn immediately. Inquiry should be against the attackers and security failure, not against doctors asking for justice.

Justice for Dr Mahnoor Nasir. Protection for every healthcare worker.

[Dr Ahmad Rehan Khan @AhmadRehanKhan]

In the United States, the average salary of a first year resident physician is around $66,000–70,000 per year, roughly $5,833 per month before taxes. After deductions, most residents take home about $3,400–4,000 monthly. Even at current exchange rates, that equals nearly 1 million PKR per month.

Meanwhile, many young doctors in Pakistan work exhausting hours, often over 100 hours per week during training, while earning barely a fraction of that amount. These are some of the brightest minds in the country, carrying the responsibility of human lives after nearly a decade of rigorous education and training.

Demanding better salaries and working conditions for doctors in Pakistan is not unreasonable, it is necessary. Continued exploitation of young physicians will only accelerate the brain drain and further weaken the healthcare system for the people who need it most.

Developed nations hire experts on 3~5 year performance contracts,if targets aren't met,they’re out. Meanwhile,Pakistan clings to lifetime cadres,where passing one exam at 24 makes you a ruler for life. It is time to replace colonial-era generalists with actual professionals. #CSS

Ground realities:

In THQ Burewala, prescribing a CT scan is solely upon consultants. MOs can't prescribe on OPD basis.

In this video, this APWMO referred the patient to the consultant room. The patient went there, but the consultant was not available.

The patient went to CT room directly where the AC met them

The AC took them to APWMO room once again, misbehaved with the on duty doctor which is itself a criminal offense punishable by law, and the DMS in black shirt fully sided with the AC to save his seat and yes boss ok boss demeanor while the same DMS is the one preaching the MOs not to prescribe the CT scan.

The healthcare department has become such a scum that every tom dick and harry consider himself a boss. This behavior by the AC is highly objectionable,inconsiderate and unforgivable.

[Dr Ahmad Rehan Khan @AhmadRehanKhan]

A video circulating online allegedly shows a CSP officer/bureaucrat rudely confronting a female doctor inside a government hospital, in front of patients, while recording her.

Addressing an on duty physician as “Bibi” instead of “Doctor Sahiba,” and questioning her in a humiliating manner as if she were in an interrogation room, is deeply disrespectful and completely unacceptable.

Doctors, especially female healthcare workers serving patients under difficult conditions, deserve dignity and professional respect, not public humiliation by state officials abusing authority.

In any professional and civilized system, such conduct by a government officer would trigger immediate accountability. Sadly, in Pakistan, bureaucratic arrogance too often operates above basic standards of decency and respect.

Absolutely shameful.

Israel killed two UNICEF drivers trying to get WATER to families in Gaza. Is this story going to get any coverage?

Or is the ongoing genocide not newsworthy?

79/M. Left otitis media with left facial palsy and hearing loss.

In suspected malignant otitis externa (skull base osteomyelitis), the earliest clue is often not bone. It is loss of normal fat.

Subtle asymmetry.
Blurring of intermuscular planes.
Fat disappearing where it should be crisp.

Around the stylomastoid foramen.Within the masticator space. Along the skull base.

Easy to overlook.
Easy to dismiss.

By the time bone is destroyed, you are already late.

Reporting pearl:
Loss of deep skull base fat planes should be considered skull base osteomyelitis until proven otherwise, even if the bone looks intact.

[Sameer Raniga @samrad77]

65-year-old man with acute ulnar-sided wrist pain. Referred from the ER to rule out fracture.

X-ray shows an amorphous (cloud-like) calcification just proximal to the pisiform, with adjacent soft tissue swelling.

This is typical of calcific tendinosis of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon insertion, due to Hydroxyapatite Deposition Disease (HADD).

Often presents with acute, severe pain when the deposits becomes inflamed (resorptive phase).

No cortical break, no true fracture fragment

In the same patient, there is a separate, sharp linear subtle calcification in the triangular fibrocartilage complex (chondrocalcinosis) , consistent with Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease-(CPPD).

Do not mix the two:
•HADD (FCU) → amorphous, cloud-like, peri-tendinous.
•CPPD (TFCC) → thin, linear, cartilage-based.

Both can coexist. The painful one is usually HADD. CPPD is often incidental.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Israel is going to HANG 10,000 Palestinians and NOBODY in the world is doing anything to stop it.

10,000!

[glitché @glitchshay]

a mass genocide is happening. an ethnic cleansing is occurring. cities are being bombed. tens of thousands of innocents are being executed and even more will follow. this is not the time for ignorance. please do not take a blind eye to this. please spread the word.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

"Israel wants to live in peace with its neighbours" is the biggest lie of all time.

This is the West Bank.

No Hamas, no war, yet attacked like this daily by "settlers" backed by the IDF.

A savagely violent Jewish supremacy armed by the EU/UK/US

We have all been screaming this for 3 years NOW!!!

[Eye on Palestine @EyeonPalestine]

Jalal is gone.. and the screams that no one heard have finally fallen silent.
After repeated pleas to save his life and secure medical treatment outside the besieged Gaza Strip, the infant Jalal Al-Qatash has passed away—a victim of his illness and international neglect.

[Council Estate Media @cem_uk_]

Imagine if a country announced it was introducing the death penalty, but only for Jews. Imagine the global outcry.

But apparently it's fine to introduce the death penalty only for Palestinians...

🚨Urgent | Immediate execution order for Palestinian hostages

Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya and thousands of Palestinian hostages including women and children are on an approved list for immediate execution.

Silence is not an option! Act now to save Palestinian hostages.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group.

There's a reason nobody has ever done this.

It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.
