Why create panic about " #blackfungus " to patients? (name seems to suggest something like black death; Bubonic plague). It is still sufficiently rare. Patients cannot control it. It is physicians who should use steroids judiciously, and use insulin aggressively to control sugar. .

Why should vaccination be free for all individuals? Those who can pay, should pay. Govt. should pay for vaccine for people with low socio-economic stratum only. I am willing to pay for vaccine.

The bedlam you are seeing today, is because of decades of neglect to strengthen primary and secondary medical care and supply chains. There is no point of making all these AIIMS, when oxygen cannot be provided. All we need is good civil hospitals with adequate facilities!!

Punishing #doctors for not writing #generics is unfair. A patient can take generic if he wants. Quality of generics anyway is suspect. Why not first punish #quacks and those #babas who say they can cure all diseases with their concoctions? Or drug companies who make false claims?

Many patients with #diabetes come to me with "full body check" and say, doc these all look fine. This means many unnecessary checks ( #chestxray , gives radiation), and miss out on simple informative tests. One such is #microalbumin test, which is an early test for #kidney damage.

Steroids rule India. Out of 3736648 active cases of COVID19 today, 25 L must be on steroids (best guess). 80% of these (20 L) would have high or very high sugars (if diabetic), or would have become diabetic if at risk. So rapid addition of new diabetes/majorly high sugars (1/2)

Those who are dealing with public; doctors, frontline workers etc. should always wear #doublemask (or one n-95). I hand over new masks to patients to wear over the existing mask (unless n-95) before I see them. Others in public dealing should have the same practice.

There are people in medicine who do research only, there are others who see patients only, and finally, there are those, like me, who do both, a more difficult and consistently demanding job given poor research funding situation and facilities.

If #insulin prices can be made to fall in #USA , surely this can happen in India. More expensive insulins are being used by doctors, even when low-cost insulins are available. If @POTUS can do it, surely for @MoHFW_INDIA @mansukhmandviya @PMOIndia it is an easy job.

Many #doctors and #nutritionists , who have a office based practice, have periods when they are confined to chair; hence remain #sedentary . They should give advice to patients when standing so that activity increases. I now remain standing when giving assessment/advice to patients

The authors say, "The survival benefit is clear/large in sick patients who require oxygen, so it should now become standard of care in these patients. Dexamethasone is inexpensive, on the shelf, and can be used immediately to save lives worldwide". Bravo!! First great steps!!

The Hippocratic Oath is sworn by doctors the world over. It is insane to replace it with some dodgy variant - where doctors swear they will not treat women patients. Glad you intervened @ptrmadurai

This "baba" is clearly spreading falsehood in this video. Type 1 diabetes CANNOT be cured. If fact, if these patients leave insulin therapy, they are in grave danger.

I believe print media in India has greater credibility than visual. Visual narrative plays to the gallery, while print is more fact oriented. In health writing, most writers take two expert opinions, just to be sure. Graphics add to the effect. Your opinion?

Totally agree. If building is safe from construction point of view, it should be given to underprivileged not demolished.

Destroying an economic asset like the twin towers is stupid. Since the builders had no clearances the punishment should be to take the towers away from.The towers are safe should have been used for a hospital or given to destitute people

If (and when) third wave of #covid19 comes, it will not target children majorly, but those who have not been #vaccinated , or weak #immunity , or leaving all precautions to (toxic) wind. A new #variant may arise!

There are reports of "Double COVID" (second #Covid19 infection), some after previous infection and vaccine. It means previous infection induced immunity is not working, like in multiple flu infections. To my mind, this is COVID21 or Covid19.version2. New vaccines needed?

During #Covid19 pandemic, #doctors have stopped doing physical exam of patients. It was understandable. Our team always did it with due precautions. There is simply no replacement to pulse, #heart , #lungs , #liver and #feet exam in patients with #diabetes . Takes a few mins time.

With faster transmission of #covid19 , it is scientific that we have double mask protection; 2 masks, one disposable mask first, close to face (if possible shave beard), and over this a cloth mask to make surgical mass closer to face. Good fit is needed

I believe that #COVID19 will stay in and simmer in India for quite some time. Indiscipline is distancing and wearing of masks are increasing as lockdown measures open up. This morning walk, out of 47 people, 25 did not wear masks; 10 were construction workers (1/2)

It is becoming clearer that we all will need a booster shot of #vaccine . For that timing is important. A one year study of evaluation of #antibodies will tells us when to take. It will then add to the list of annual or biannual adult #vaccinations . @covid19
