THREAD. Let me tell you abt some myths around #suicide & how you can save lives. #suicideprevention
MYTH 1: Talking about suicide is a bad idea, as it may be seen as encouragement
FALSE. Rather than encouraging suicide, talking openly helps prevent suicide. 1/n

@KNakray This is from Capernaum -the ancient biblical town on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Memories from 10 yrs ago. Visiting my friend Itzhak Levav, having tea in the Old City and doing the Biblical tour.

Indians think disobeying rules is a sign of power & prestige. Like driving on wrong side. Parking badly. Inconvenincing fellow citizens

They have seen our politicians/bureaucrats do it

The minute they have some money/power, they break rules with impunity. Copying the powerful.

Good compiliation by @netshrink
Techbros think that the world didn’t exist before they started doing some trash and package it with glitz and glamour. Just like a certain actor who said India got independence in 2014.

Nearly 110 patients rushed to AIIMS Delhi’s eye emergency after Diwali celebrations, most with firecracker-related eye injuries.

18 suffered corneal perforations or lacerations and required emergency surgery. Another 20 are slated for surgery today.

Most victims are children and young adults.

Leo, a beloved Beagle with one pale eye and a black collar, has been missing near Kailana, Chakrata, Uttarakhand, since 29 October.

His family is desperately searching and waiting for their precious companion to return home. 💔

If you live nearby, please check gardens, parking areas and forest paths.

PLEASE SHARE THIS WIDELY!

One share, one sighting, or one small effort could reunite Leo with his loving family.

Let's bring Leo home!

My point in the thread below is to make you aware that 🇮🇳 is a global hub for high quality original research & breakthrough healthcare innovations (https://t.co/8K6XKqbBwf is world's most used healthcare AI) saving millions of lives worldwide.

Your ignorance is not our problem.

"India is still taking its first steps in original research and breakthrough innovation."

Ask a refund from your medical college. They short changed you!

Here are 10 breakthrough medical innovations from India (& there are more)

to regions lacking local cardiothoracic surgeons.

And the most famous of all:

My first and last post on “Temple health tracker”:

When a baby learns to crawl, we don’t mock the struggle.

When the baby tries to stand and falls, we don’t question the ambition.

We encourage every attempt because we know that before a human learns to run, they must learn to fall.

India is still taking its first steps in original research and breakthrough innovation.

And when a few Indians dare to build something new, our first instinct should not be ridicule.

I am talking about the Temple Health Tracker.

Question its accuracy. Challenge its claims. Demand scientific validation. That’s how science progresses.

But don’t confuse scientific criticism with the habit of discouraging innovation.

A scientific mind questions the invention. An insecure mind mocks the inventor.

We have spent decades celebrating innovations born elsewhere.

It’s time we encouraged the courage to create something here.

If we Indians won’t support our own innovators, who will?

Science needs scepticism to find the truth. Innovation needs encouragement to survive long enough to find it.
