Many people don’t understand compounding.

Becoming better only by 1% each day will make you a 37x better person by the end of the year.

This means that becoming better each day by even a measly 1% is impossible.

One of my close friends was admitted in a hospital for a small procedure on his finger (got injured while playing cricket with a leather ball). He was admitted for a night.

His personal insurance is amazing & has Non Consumables cover also. His bill of around ₹40000 was completely paid off by Insurance company (cashless).

During discharge, my friend was asked to pay for Non Consumables ₹3200. He immediately told the hospital that Non Consumables is covered. He showed them the list of items covered under Non Consumables (from the policy).

But friends. Their list had items which were not present in the Insurance Non Consumables List 😀😀😭😭

The hospital asked my friend to pay for the following non-consumables:

Surgeon Gown
Betadine
Drapes
Gloves (this was paid by insurance company since it was part of their list, after we showed them the policy list)
Mops

He ended up paying ₹2800, after deducting Gloves 🔔

Why are Mops even in the list? Isn't basic cleaning something we pay for?

Shouldn't Gown be a part of the procedure? Betadine is used for wound cleaning, it can be put under procedure charges. What are Drapes?

My learning is that hospitals will squeeze us, either way. We need to have an awesome insurance policy. Even though this policy is top notch with amazing cover, hospitals can always have some items which are simply ridiculous in the non-consumables section. A comprehensive cover is key. With non consumables included, he still had to pay ₹2800. Imagine if he didn't have the cover, it would have been far far higher.

In my opinion, Hospitals have become a Pure Business 😀😀😀

I had no intention of shaming any Institution or Profession, but this is simply ridiculous & enlightening.

Sharing this for everyone to learn something from this...

Public service announcement: if Salesforce hits you with steep price increases like mentioned in this Reddit, just mention the word "ZOHO" and they will drop their prices. That is their official discount code 😏

Glad to be of assistance.

We really need a website that shows:

> Which contractor built the road
> Which babu signed off on it
> Total cost & ministers involved
> Firm responsible for maintenance

All this info must be public. We should also be able to rate & review roads.

Time for real accountability!

The most reliable way to change your entire life is by not changing your entire life.

If you try to change your life all at once, you will quickly find yourself pulled back into the same patterns as before. But if you merely focus on changing one specific habit, work on it until it becomes part of your normal day, you will find your life changes naturally as a side effect.

Improve the whole by mastering one thing.

@svembu Each enterprise have some of their own glossary and undocumented processes which new comers pick it up on their inital days. AI Models too needs to be developed to do the same to be easily adopted.

@mahima_manik How are AI agents non-deterministic? Setting LLM temperature to 0 gives deterministic outputs, right?

@ImLunaHey The 'new' keyword conveys that a new instance is created and could be misleading. .getInstance() seems less confusing.
