1/Do you get a Broca’s aphasia trying remember the location of Broca's area?

Does trying to remember inferior frontal gyrus anatomy leave you speechless?

Don't be at a loss for words when it comes to Broca's area

Here how to remember the anatomy of this key region!

@nirmalregency @MarcusVPinto What is the recommendation of sending NF antibodies, if the patient has already received IVIg (considering high chances of false positives post IVIg) ?

[First Ventricle @firstventricle]

@MarcusVPinto @nirmalregency @nirmalregency sir, 6 weeks after the symptom onset or 6 weeks post treatment (which makes total duration 15 days + 6 weeks, which is more than 8 weeks, out of window for TRF)?

@MarcusVPinto What is here that favours A- CIDP over TRF in GBS, other than duration ?

Good morning! Just got to know this!

1/2 A whole government Ministry is unleashed on me - because I speak against unscientific practices and primitive traditional healthcare that can harm, I communicate scientific information for public and patients alike.

This was an official memo released during the Ministry of Ayush meeting on 12-6-2026 fully dedicated towards shutting down my social media presence.

Imagine - the people in this meeting were eating biscuits and drinking tea, paid for by the citizens of the country - to decide how to gag and shutdown a citizen doctor who educates people on medical science via social media.

Yesterday, my Instagram account was briefly hacked, but I got back control and removed unauthorized access within an hour.

The Article 51A(h) of the Indian Constitution outlines the fundamental duty of every citizen to develop a "scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform". Added during the 42nd Amendment in 1976, this non-justiciable directive promotes logical reasoning, critical thinking, and rationality.

The Ayush system is not scientific, it kills scientific temper, it does not promote the spirit of inquiry, it lacks logical reasoning, has the deadest version of critical thinking and none of its products and practices are rational.

The only thing that needs to be shut down, is an unscientific body like Ayush that goes against the Indian Constitution and wastes public tax money... and not me.

Also, please look closely at the person at the end, who is copied to, by the Ministry. His name is Vaidya K P Manikandan and he is the owner and founder of CNS Ayurveda Hospital, where children are treated for chronic conditions such as severe mental health disorders, autism and epilepsy (please see an official release from the hospital in the next post). One such victim of his was saved by my team (we reported it: https://t.co/eXeWt2n6N7) and he put a criminal defamation case against me and the authors (for publishing a scientific peer reviewed paper!) which was later "stayed" by the High Court of Kerala.

This has nothing to do with service to patients, but everything to do with protecting the business of alternative medicine (especially Ayurveda). These low life complaintants should be ashamed.

I cleared NEET-SS with AIR 341.

I was working as a Senior Resident in Surgical Oncology.

Trusting that counselling would proceed, I resigned from my job before the joining deadline of 16 April.

Today, I have no seat.
No training.
No joining date.

Not because I failed an exam.

[First Ventricle @firstventricle]

@DrDhruvchauhan And this was NEET SS 2025. Almost of half of 2026 is over, but SS 2025 counselling is not!

Dear friends, as promised, the citizens funded generics vs. branded drugs project is now published after 4 months in peer review. It was hardwork, but worth the effort because all of you helped us realize this important work.

You can read the full detaild paper here: https://t.co/jZhm8ZcPCq

Here is a simplified summary:
Do cheaper generic medicines work as well as expensive branded ones? It's a question that worries patients and even many doctors, who often quietly assume that a low price must mean lower quality. This doubt has real consequences in India, where medicines make up nearly two-thirds of what families spend out of their own pockets on healthcare — a burden that pushes millions into poverty and forces people to split doses or stop treatment altogether.

To put the question to a fair, independent test, our team at the Mission for Ethics and Science in Healthcare (MESH) carried out a fully citizen-funded study, paid for entirely by donations from ordinary members of the public, with no money or influence from any drug company.

We bought 131 samples of 22 commonly used medicines — covering heart disease, diabetes, infections, pain, acidity, and more — from seven different kinds of outlets across Kerala, including government stores like Jan Aushadhi, private generic chains, and premium branded pharmacies. Every sample was then coded, blinded, and sent to a top accredited laboratory for rigorous testing against the Indian Pharmacopoeia 2022 standards. What makes this study unusual is that very few before it have tested branded and generic versions from the same market side by side, included government-supplied medicines, and combined strict quality testing with a hard look at price — all at the same time.

The result was striking in its simplicity: every single one of the 131 medicines passed every quality test. 100%. It made no difference whether a pill was generic or branded, cheap or expensive — they were all equally good in their active ingredient content, their purity, and how they dissolve in the body.

Yet the prices told a completely different story. Generic medicines were, on average, 48.6% cheaper than their branded twins, and the most expensive brand cost up to 13.9 times more than the cheapest generic of the very same drug. Government Jan Aushadhi stores were the cheapest source for 18 of the 22 medicines tested, with potential savings running into thousands of rupees a year per medicine — for instance, over ₹16,000 a year on a single liver drug.

For doctors, this is reassuring, hard evidence that prescribing a quality-assured generic is not a compromise on care; it is the same medicine at a fraction of the cost. For patients, it means you can stay on your treatment without it draining your savings, which is exactly what keeps people healthier over the long run.

And this is precisely why independent, publicly funded projects like this matter so much for the future of healthcare in India: they answer the questions ordinary people actually have, free from commercial pressure, and they build the trust that programmes like Jan Aushadhi need to truly succeed. Affordable and high-quality are not opposites — in a well-regulated market, they go hand in hand.

Let me tell you what Scamdev is promoting here as an Ayurvedic treatment in 2026 and calling it health tourism.

For arthritis or some disease of the joints, they have cut the patient and are doing "singi" therapy, which is sucking out blood through a horn-like object placed over the cut area...they believe they are sucking out "bad blood" that will cure chronic illness.

You can actually see the old man (ancient garbage healer) kneeling down and sucking the woman's blood from her knee through the horn.

This is not just negligence, but extremely dangerous because it can spread infections and transmit illness to both the treating sucker and the sucker-punched patient.

Not just that, the video also shows patients poked with multiple needles by quacks, being bled from the back, none of the "therapists" with gloves or other aseptic precautions...
...and Baba is roaming around letting microbes from his unkempt hair and beard settle on the patients whose blood is freely drawn out without any protection.

If this was in any other country, these crooks would be rotting in jail for doing this to patients.

But the Indian government is promoting these batsh*t crazy loonies who claim to be "healers" and giving them civilian awards.

@ni5arga @cbseindia29 good morning CBSE, you said you used scanners to scan these copies,

now since the copies are out to the public view, do you mind explaining

which copies when scanned through a scanner, have a drop shadow? and these 3 folds?

did you really use scanners?

[datavorous @datavorous_]

kids, who needs their answer scripts?

they were DEFINITELY safe and not publicly accessible without any authentication!

this technically shatters all their claims of production data being secure.

cheers!

p.s. im not a cybersec guy, it was simply applied common sense!
