A "good death" is an often forgotten goal of clinical medicine. 90+ patient with Stage 5 CKD, Patient with metastasized tumour with no proper Rx options, Patients with advanced CLD with severe delirium and no realistic shot at a transplant - these are pts forgotten by the system.

@josephselvraj Agree completely. I have a car seat. But its an (?essential luxury?) in India. The car seat maybe affordable but it means only 4 ppl can use the car - and if its a family with grandparents involved - then becomes next to impossible. How do you deal with that?

Succeeding after a long time struggle to convince my wife to buy a second child seat, nothing gives me more happiness than to see my kids enjoy sitting in their own respective seats, all strapped and secure..!! 😇😍

If you can afford a car, & you have a child, you should afford a child seat. It’s that simple. Children should never be sitting on the lap in front seat ‼️ If you love your child, protect your child ♥️👼 #roadsafety #childsafety

In 1983, one man had 10 minutes to decide the fate of the world. Stanislav Petrov sat at his console as alarms blared: 5 U.S. nuclear missiles were "en route" to Russia. He had two choices: launch a counterstrike or trust his gut. What he did next saved humanity. Here's how...

The Titanic didn’t sink the way you think. The story isn’t just about an iceberg—it’s about human error, ignored warnings, and catastrophic decisions. Here’s the truth about what really sank the ‘unsinkable’ ship:

The most important geospatial concept? Spatial Autocorrelation. It can make the difference between spurious and accurate results. Here’s what you need to know about it:

Is the Samsung S23 worth buying in 2025? Are Realme or OnePlus phones safe as far as data protection os concerned?

@Rahul_Advait Its ok if the walking is not brisk. 15-20min for 1km is perfectly fine. Start slow -build speed and endurance over time. Being better than what you were a week/month ago is a better target than a fixed target.

@Rahul_Advait I dont find the 30min a day advice to be practical. My advice is to start wherever the patient is. Ppl who have not exercised in years cannot be 30min straight. So if they can do 10min - that is commendable. Work your way upwards over time in a sustainable manner.

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY COUNSEL PATIENTS FOR BRISK WALKING AND EXERCISE Telling patients to “exercise 30 minutes a day” doesn’t work. They’re busy. They’re overwhelmed. But with a specific plan tailored to their routine, they’ll listen. Here’s how to counsel patients for brisk walking in a way that sticks 🧵:

@physio_twtr Also , the quality of physios vary very widely. Lot of people into non evidence based stuff like chiropractice or whatever. Many will only do procedures like TENS without teaching excercise. So im not sure what to do

@physio_twtr I do exactly this. Simple "Refer to Physio". But 80% of my patients dont go for some reason. They say they will but they never actually do.

Growth of #physiotherapy has been able to change something? Yes In the early phase of my practice, patients with lumbar disc issues were usually told bed rest and stay away from Physio for 15 days. Then IFT, traction, NO exercise 15 days. It was a struggle to explain the benefits

You see, moral erosion isn’t a grand conspiracy cooked up in smoky boardrooms with evil laughter in the background. It’s more like a slow leak. Companies don’t jump straight into bad behavior; they stumble into it. It’s not about what they actively do—it’s about what they let happen.

The problem in consumer internet is that users get dehumanized. To the spreadsheet jockeys, the user isn’t a person—it’s a subscription ID in an MIS report with an LTV, CAC, and a churn probability. But in reality, the “user” is a tired old man trying to call his son

@ashwinrajenesh This argument that one does not need a helmet because they are going "just down the road" is beyond silly. Do ppl think the ground becomes soft because they are near their homes? Or does the skull grow an extra 4 layers?

Most of the victims of head injury we receive are not those blitzing on highways (survivorship bias probably at play here), but rather those on their daily commute, or on the street near home, or visiting the grocer down the road, or dropping kids at their bus points, etc.
Guru@KamathGurudutt

Helmets should be made optional on City INNER roads. Must on Highways or on Main City streets. Punekars are wise and I am glad that they are opposing the Helmet-must rule. I am with them. Our problem is that we need to please Helmet manufacturers, Traffic Police need an excuse to fine people. Another issue would be that such law is a Central Law and it would be difficult to make exceptions. Our problem is that laws are made for the Govt (and the rich), by the Govt (and the rich)! Nobody cares for the common man.

@ImLMittal I genuinely dont know why the whole country treats FMGEs like some criminal. Even when a disaster like getting stuck in Ukraine happened ppl were like "why did they go abroad". We NEED good doctors. Who cares where they trained? Test skills and certify to practice?

@parth_0013 My dictum to students is that any prescribed diet must be "culturally appropriate , locally available and preferably non-packaged"

A diet plan if not scientific and socially relevant only adds to the financial woes of the patients. I have seen families borrow money to buy packed juice for people with cancer. Don't give dietary advice if you don't know the SE background of d family or the science behind diet.

@ClausWilke And its frustrating when human interns rely on AI generated nonsense in assignments etc - especially when those assignments are given to faculty who evaluate superficially!
