It’s time for some exams #paEds

Triangular parota with aloo bhaja (they look trapezoid here) but that’s the quintessential 90s bengali breakfast

@BoWang87 It’s an example of pattern recognition and not the best example that human input has and will always have it’s own place, at least in healthcare

When people talk about AI replacing doctors, I show them this 😂

@merseyflow charges £2.40 for crossing the bridge, when i crossed on 5th March, i forget to pay online (not a regular in that route) issues penalty, ok that notice reaches me (through my lease company) on 8th April, paid immediately penalty £25 1000% PENALTY @merseyflow is that calculation right? the bill available on the website is £2.40. wow.

@theliverdoc it is a very difficult (and almost impossible) fight to win against Alt medicine, in a huge country like India. its also almost impossible to get rid of the term "allopathy" in India. havent heard that term anywhere in this part of the world

Replace "Nobel" with "Padma Shri" , "Padma Bhushan" , "Padma Vibushan" etc. B M Hegde has lost his marbles and suffers from this.

@abhinavprakash5 Lake district? amazing weather indeed

A good walk today, everything's beautiful when the sun's out!

If you are in the #T1Diabetes community in the UK? This is worrying news from Scotland as mentioned by @iPAG_Scot Care should be same across 4 nations- hopefully better sense will prevail and those with #T1Diabetes will not miss out on their relevant technology- which shows positive impact on outcomes. For the record- thanks to @DHSCgovuk it is ring-fenced till 2029 @zubirahmed @wesstreeting - as part of finishing the 5 year implementation plan of @NICEComms TA 943 To continue with the improvement of #T1D outcomes Let's lend our voice of support @BT1DUK @DiabetesUK #gbdoc 💙

@theliverdoc Good to know the connection MBBS from #NRSMCH MEDICOS 90 here Finding a few ex NRSites in the replies Maybe a thread memoir, someday?

When I was training for my MD degree in Kolkata (I studied at NRSMCH, used to take the local Budge Budge to Sealdah), this was one place I visited regularly for their "gur" sandesh and speciality ice cream and chocolate sandesh. Good old times. I miss the Kolkata life.

@arshiet @gnukeith That’s a very common explanation I get in the ward round from residents

@ChakraPaeds @gnukeith They look out of the window and see where the earth is They then point their feet towards it, and know that they are upright They might be in orbit, but have their feet towards the ground, so humble.

Stupid question, is there gravity inside the body because like how are they able to swallow stuff?

@arshiet @gnukeith How do they know which way is upright?

@gnukeith Every 4 hours they have to stand on their heads, so that food goes up to the stomach and they have to wait until it gets dissolved in the stomach acid before they can stand upright again 😑

@ChandrakanthMv @theliverdoc @theliverdrALT Clearly says adding CAM increases risk. Then how come it is supportive? Also does that not define “complimentary and alternative “ as anything non evidence based? As any therapy with evidence of benefit will not be included in CAM!

Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Breast Cancer 2.1M patients (NCDB) 👉 CAM alone ≈ outcomes similar to no treatment 👉 Skipping standard therapy ↑ death risk (up to 3.7×) 👉 Even adding CAM → no survival gain Supportive? YES ✅ Replacement? NO ❌ @theliverdoc #BreastCancer #Oncology #MedEd #MVOnco

That’s an impressive strategy #IranWar

All these ’Mounjaro brides’ will be discontinuing after wedding Will be interesting to find out what kind of rebound weight gain may happen in this cohort in a year?

Huge congratulations to Bodhana Sivanandan on becoming England’s top female chess player at just 11 years old. We once played each other in the Downing Street garden. Let’s just say her success has not come as a shock!

This sounds like a plan

@ABsay_ek It took me 18 years to find this ad And I haven’t seen a better ad in recent times #IPLMatch

18 years on & it’s still the best IPL ad

I have been forced to fund that corruption like many, sponsoring north of £2K in cancelled and repurchased flight tickets That’s how it works #IranWar‌

@AroupChatterjee @parthaskar @iamsrk @iamsrk_brk @SRKUniverse @sasbanerjee @Jazzsethi95 @banshisaboo @SRKUnited_ @DrAmbrishMithal @DrMohitBhagia @JyotsanaRangee3 Agree

@ChakraPaeds @parthaskar @iamsrk @iamsrk_brk @SRKUniverse @sasbanerjee @Jazzsethi95 @banshisaboo @SRKUnited_ @DrAmbrishMithal @DrMohitBhagia @JyotsanaRangee3 Calcutta food is much superior

Egypt 🇪🇬 “Indian?” is the ask And then comes the immediate follow up mention of …@iamsrk Everywhere you go…across all ages Quite amazing to see the reach one man has and how much he represents 🇮🇳 (Any relationship with the outstretched arms is purely coincidental) 🙂

@theliverdoc this original report was from Mar 2022, again went viral today. is there a real this doctor, in the place mentioned? has that doctor, since then, received any training on newborn resuscitation?

Can I say something? Ok, I'm going to say it anyway. My heart dropped watching this. While the intent is commendable and the outcome fortunate, the technique is not correct, also terrifyingly dangerous, by current newborn resuscitation standards. And for a Pediatrician to do this, its downright negligence. The cornerstone of newborn resuscitation for an apneic (not breathing) baby is positive pressure ventilation (PPV) using a bag-and-mask device (self-inflating bag or T-piece resuscitator), not mouth-to-mouth. The standard sequence is: warm → dry → stimulate → clear airway → if still apneic/gasping, begin bag-and-mask ventilation within the "Golden Minute." Giving mouth-to-mouth is problematic (read: can kill) in newborns. The doctors cannot control the pressure or tidal volume delivered. Newborn lungs are extremely fragile, and uncontrolled breaths (as this doctor is giving) can rupture and burst their little lungs. Additionally, there is infection risk in both directions (doctor → newborn and newborn → doctor). It's not a monitored or standardized intervention. A CHC (Community Health Center) conducting deliveries is required to have a functional newborn resuscitation corner with a bag-and-mask device. That's a basic NSSK (Navjaat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram) mandate. If the doctor had to resort to mouth-to-mouth, it raises serious questions about equipment availability and facility preparedness - which is the real issue worth highlighting rather than celebrating this as heroism. The baby surviving is wonderful, but framing a suboptimal, potentially dangerous technique as "clap worthy" sets a problematic precedent. If you are a pediatrician and a healthcare worker in charge of newborns, please never, ever, do this to the child.
