I'll say this again.
India is a deeply superstitious and overly religious country. This is a place which chokes thinkers, rationalists and progressives. High agency people will struggle to survive the drivel here. Everything from policies, politics to healthcare is based on superstition and irrationalism. The current governance has worsened this.
From applying turmeric on wounds, giving honey to infants to boost immunity, feeding gold to children to increase memory, avoiding curd/yogurt to prevent cough and cold instead of vaccinations, choosing Ayurveda for non-communicable diseases, homeopathy for cancer, and avoiding meat in liver disease, even the doctors community is neck deep in practicing dogmatism and cultural medicine rather than science-based care.
There is no point in trying to get the older generation to change here. They are lost. Teach your children, the younger generation critical thinking skills and keep them far far away from the religious and cultural dogmas that will cloud their independence in thought.
If you cannot do that, send them to places that will nurture their rationalism and growth. This place is hopeless.

@DrLongissimus Older generation actually had it much easier contrary to their belief.
Lesser competition, lesser fees, smaller books and much higher salaries/payouts (esp with inflation into account)
They should for once empathise if a young doc is having a breakdown. They too would.
This is extremely difficult to watch💔😔
At this moment, Dr. Tanaya Panja has fallen ill after a continuous 216-hour hunger strike. Since noon, she had been under the observation of the medical team due to abdominal pain and weakness. Suddenly, she lost consciousness completely and is being taken to the Medical College Kolkata for admission to the CCU(critical care unit).
No words left.Praying hard for our warriors.

Working as a neonatologist: there are 3 insights I have gained about how to function effectively and efficiently on clinical service.
You have to be able to:
1) Switch between three modes of care (and thinking) based on the type of patient - acute care, convalescent care, chronic care, and mixtures of these types of care.
2) Zoom in (cognitively) to pay attention to minute details when required, and at other times zoom out to do 'big-picture' thinking.
3) Have an organized systematic process of carrying out all the required tasks (rounds, teaching, documentation, communicating, hand-offs) while at the same time be flexible and adaptable to deal with unscheduled demands such as deliveries, admissions, and sudden patient events.

In the NICU, every gram gained is a victory, every heartbeat is a triumph.
Each gain & beat gets you one step closer to the destination of home.
