How cooperative is the nursing staff at your place?
We need to call them "sister ji" and do a number of requests, for them to wake up on their "night" duty to prep any patient for OT.
Also yesterday when i asked her to load an MgSO4 injection she said "khud karlo".

psa if you’re suffering with a chronic sore throat right now especially in the morning and if you don’t feel sick otherwise or can’t figure out why it’s probably due to low humidity

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

Wearing (somewhat comfy lol) heels after a long while and damn I get why women do it often - it's fun to look down on everyone and see through the crowd, like y'all so cute and tiny omggg. Tall ones be living this every single day of their lives, wild 😤

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

@Anubhavkty Yes, that's true, but as a psychiatrist do you treat this similar to how you would treat suicidal tendencies or do do you treat it more on the psychological basis of why they did it? Always wonder

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

Maybe I'm too desensitised at this point but a young patient drank ~20 mL diluted sanitizer at home because his brother didn't approve of his girlfriend and kept shouting for his brother to come talk to him while his brother was standing right next to him and I just... 1/3

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

Also #MedTwitter what is your opinion on patients who ingest seemingly benign quantities of poison when they have a personal feud with their family? Especially young adults? I'm not very sure of how to best proceed with them. Views #psychtwitter? 3/3

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

... keep having flashbacks of "aakash bro, someone call my aakash" and the kid speaking the sort of gibberish people do when drunk and wondering why he was more worried when and if he thought he's dying about his brother than his girlfriend that he seemed to love so much 2/3

Medicine - incomplete without chai when the patient load is low (don't wanna jinx it tho) #MedTwitter

Moreover, there are already tried-and-tested alternatives to police that do better at protecting public safety: Triage centers and civilian response teams for people in behavioral health crises, programs for youth, expanded healthcare...

A story i heard was when a rival wanted to launch a cola, Chauhan bought all the glass bottled drinks of the competitor that he could.(this is when plastic wasn't prevalent)

Economics of glass bottles requires recycling to be profitable. Capex exhausted, competition dies.

My boyfriend just observed that all of the ADHDers in his life are hell to watch movies/shows with because we can't stop paying attention to and commenting on actors'/writers'/directors' choices long enough to just watch the dang thing. I know I do this but is this an ADHD trait?

@drkaushal1296 @manasvisharmaaa Need money to do that MBA, don't have a rich dad xD

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

@WhiteCoat_Army Not interested in an argument either, I'm on twitter to just share my thoughts, not argue with people sooo ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

@WhiteCoat_Army That's male privilege man, not having to be hyperaware about how unsafe and scary it is to just exist and you don't pay special attention to every thing that can and does go wrong so ofc you've "not seen" cases like that. Sad but yeah you do you I guess.

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

@WhiteCoat_Army The fact that you feel most cases are out of "revenge extortion bla bla" just shows your male privilege with all due respect sir :) Sadly you can have your own opinion as misogynist as it is and be "meninist" and I can just sit here live as a woman everyday and see it from afar..

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

@DrHimanshuSoni @WhiteCoat_Army No more wish to argue further with you sir. If you feel like stray cases are worth arguing over while quashing majority of the women's condition then I'm not going to argue with an anti feminist, not my cup of tea or job to educate every man about it

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

@WhiteCoat_Army @DrHimanshuSoni More than fair imo cuz if men are so quick to bring up not all men then not all women too lol

[The Doctor with ADHD @theadhddoctor]

@DrHimanshuSoni That's not just the family's fault, it's a societal fault. Alimony is just a band aid over a laceration. It's a patriarchal society. And in the end it is indeed the men who are benefitting from it. Also if the wife earns more the husband can demand alimony as well by law.

At my friend's house awake already while she's sleeping with her mouth open someone save me 😭😭😭
