It must become the bound duty of every physician of any specialty to check blood pressure of their patients. Surveys have shown high BP is under diagnosed & under treated. BP is one disease that can be detected without a blood test.

My first brush with Punjabi: Dr Nagi ma’am, the finest GI radiologist in PGI, induced quite a bit of terror among resident docs: if u didn’t know the exact SGOT value from last week u were dead. Freshers, therefore, were naturally sent accompanying patients to her USG suite 1/

@KrebsCycleDoc @SatanKiNani @PalleteNScope My first brush with Kannada was “Banni”, I remember thinking to myself I know “Bunny” is a cute nick name but why is the nurse calling all house keeping guys with the same name🤣 The second brush was when @serioustaurean told‘Ok Ma’over the phone & I wondered do I sound so old😭

Pandemic apart, Medical Postgraduates need to be FAIRLY selected, IN TIME, allowed to train & serve well in PEACE. If you believe good doctors turn out this way, please question why #NEETPG2021 counselling is being delayed. Else, a decade later we may not quality healthcare

Gold tweet. You need to ‘unprotect’ your account ⁦ @DrDeepakKrishn1 ⁩ Too much medical wisdom is lost behind that 🔒. (Haters & trolls be damned)

When a famous Baba came up with kidney cure that can ‘avoid dialysis’, 6 patients who gave up dialysis came in to our ER critically ill Persons with large SM following must be more responsible talking on matters out of their line Mental health issues are not to be trivialised

Bipolar disorder, multiple personality disorder, depression etc are all fancy words given by psychiatrists who don’t wish to work on emotional health of the patient and earn money only through drug prescription! Simple! We all have all of the above on a normal basis. Agree?

“Kannad wale Itna kyun fudak rahe hain” was heard on Hindi Diwas. Wasn’t about language but language imposition Ex: Banking Officers Exams were held in English/Hindi; was difficult for Kannada speakers. And by removal of domicile rule, rural Karnataka has Hindi speaking Bankers!

“We are proud of you”. Poster on overbridge near Nartaki talkies on KG Road proclaimed after @padukoneprakash won the All England. Everyday when our BTS bus passed under it hearts would swell with pride. Deepika maybe an achiever, but to talk of The Legend merely as her father

@anin14dita MBBS in Bangalore addressed every1 by name. Later in Delhi/Lucknow/Chandigarh it was sir/ma’am Never felt odd though. Maybe the Kannadiga habit of calling everyone Saar/Madam. IMO, it hardly matters. Though addressing someone decades senior by 1st name freaks me out even now.
