When you don’t have public health specialists in the country this is what happens. 2000 odd oncologists in India, swamped with patients, having little to no time for educating people, so we get to hear about these “miracle” cancer treatments and cures from everyone and their grandmothers.
What nonsense is this? There is science and then there is this rubbish! Hear it from someone who was treated for cancer and is ALIVE - following dumb heads like these Will eventually lead to cancer killing those diagnosed. Evidence based treatment saves lives n 50/- worth of
We’ll be watching this ignition on loop all day.

Doctors working in private hospitals should thank GH, which shields them from unruly dehati crowd. Where the government shield is broken / weak, the private hospitals face the brunt of attack.
On #IndiaMatters with @ShivAroor, Dr Archana Dhawan Bajaj and Dr Swarupa Mitra voice outrage over the treatment allegedly extended to Sena strongman Ramesh Mhatre, questioning why immediate arrest did not follow.
Dear Doctors,
If your Head of Department, consultant, or senior tells you that sleeping 3–4 hours and working 30–36-hour shifts is “part of training,”then they are indirectly killing you as per this research paper and report
The consequences of chronic sleep and food deprivation are not only causing diabetes , dyslipidaemia, obesity, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and serious mental health disorders
But are also linked to Reproductive health disorders including reduced sperm quality, erectile dysfunction, and menstrual disturbances.
Stop glorifying burnout. Stop calling exploitation “discipline.” Stop treating exhaustion as a rite of passage.
Your health is not the price of your MD/MS /DNB degree.
Demand legal duty hours as envisaged under the Residency Scheme, 1992. Protect your body. No hospital, no professor, and no degree will give you back the years of health lost to a toxic work culture.
“Beti padhao beti bachao” you were right @narendramodi ji

One thing that nags me is this...
I mean, there is enough evidence out there that homeopathy and ayurveda do not work... at the very least, not to the extent that they claim they do
(@theliverdoc would more than agree)
But what I feel bad about is, when kids... who have taken up these fields, see this, and feel bad, and helpless and clueless and what to do about their career
I have seen a lot of sincere students who actually care about patients and medical knowledge, perhaps more than my subordinates
but they cannot do anything because of whatever reason they ended up in the other fields...
and I don't have anything to say to them either. 🥺
FMGE results declared- only 12.38% have passed. Hope our Central Ministry of health looks into this. Pass percentage needs to be much, much higher.
I had the opportunity of working with FMGE CRRIs, when I was posted at Thiruvallur Medical College,& all of them were excellent in knowledge, efficiency and dedication to pts.
FMGE Drs are our children too. Failing them, year after year consistently is extremely cruel. Hope the NMC, & the Central Health Ministry look into this matter with the urgency & importance it deserves. Futures r at stake.
See the contrast in skin colour. What six months of prolonged sun exposure can do to your skin!

Takeaway from GMC Anantnag fiasco :
Bending rules to help patients in government setup is like playing with fire. Sooner or later you will burn your fingers.
