Brigadier VK Joshi, 70, served the Army for three decades, survived war and multiple counterinsurgency operations, but lost his life to a stray bullet in a pointless clash between a group of urban dehatis. A Delhi-registered Fortuner overtook a Scorpio N on Mussoorie Road in Dehradun, which hurt the ScorpioN occupants ego. The ScorpioN occupants gave chase. When the Fortuner didn’t yield, the ScorpioN group of urban dehatis pulled out a pistol and started firing. At that very moment, Brigadier Joshi was out on his morning walk. A bullet from that reckless exchange found him. His friends rushed him to the hospital, but he was declared dead on arrival. A life of service ended by someone else’s arrogance. As far as the urban dehatis are concerned, I'm sure they'll be out on bail in no time.

@docakx how big is too big? According to the study. Anywhere the curve of size vs hunger reverses, if the size keeps on increasing?

Big breasts are significantly more attractive to hungry men than satiated men as found in this study. The study compared the breast size judgements of 66 hungry versus 58 satiated men within the same environmental context in Britain. Results showed that hungry men rated larger breasts as significantly more attractive than satiated men. Big breasts are often reported to be more strongly preferred by men from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, a pattern some researchers link to perceptions of health, fertility, and resource security.

@MasterMaliq Their mutual exclusiveness makes both wrong. A says A = 1 B says B = 1 But both say A and B are not the same. Anybody sane will reach a conclusion that both are wrong.

Bible vs Quran: The Ultimate Question 🔥 The Bible says: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:16) The Quran says: “Whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.” (Surah 3:85) Two clear, exclusive claims. One path to eternity. So tell me honestly… How do YOU know which one is true?

@aditya_gan3500 @RajeshwariRW @BJP4India @INCIndia When reviewing a case (not bedside to avoid rash decisions), I feed AI with the clinical data to help me reach a better clinical conclusion, with references. As I understood after attending a few AI summits. Doctor + AI = superior clinical assessment and therapeutics.

@RajeshwariRW @BJP4India @INCIndia This is some dumb shit People use AI and other resources all the time I have an entire SD card filled with books and Google Drive filled with papers I consult Even in the midst of consultations This is a crazy post

Side effects of having a –40 marks super-specialist doctor. Thanks to both @BJP4India and @INCIndia for their historic decision to make India a developed nation.

@theliverdoc You poured your heart here. It's a difficult task. A lot of doctors, especially hepatologist and Nephrologists know what you are talking about and they support you.

Standing up for accurate medical information should never invite intimidation. Absolutely. I applaud Dr. Sivaranjini for her fight against misleading ORS branding, and every doctor who rallied behind her. This is what the medical community should look like. But let me be honest. Painfully honest. The medical community in India develops courage selectively - when the stakes are low and the enemy is convenient. Fighting fake ORS is important. But it is also safe. No ancient tradition protects it. No ministry backs it. No political ideology wraps itself around electrolyte branding. Now try standing up against Ayurveda and Homeopathy causing liver failure, kidney injury, lead poisoning, and death. Try publishing that data. Try saying it out loud on a public platform. I have been doing this for years. What has it earned me? Fifteen-plus legal notices. Criminal cases. FIRs. Defamation suits filed across multiple states. Harassment, bullying, and coordinated attacks from an industry that enjoys state protection and cultural immunity. And where has the medical community been? Largely silent. Comfortably silent. By-and-large, the medical community especially the medical student community, the specialists clinical societies or national and regional level doctors group never come out and fought for the rights of the patients and their safety against Ayush in India in the open - not even endorsing evidence after evidence of harms published. The gastroenterology and hepatology societies in India - my own specialty - do not hold sessions on alternative medicine at their national meetings. They do not publish guidance for patients. They reject manuscripts documenting AYUSH adverse events. Their consensus statements pretend the problem does not exist. They have decided that this particular cancer growing inside Indian public health is someone else's problem. For years, the medical establishment believed that if they ignored AYUSH harms, if they simply didn't talk about it, the problem would disappear. It didn't. It metastasized. And now have infiltrated Institutions of repute. And while it grew, the people who stood by me, who amplified the evidence, who fought alongside me — were not doctors. They were not specialist societies. They were not medical colleges. They were the public. Ordinary citizens who understood that patient safety is not a niche academic concern - it is their lives, their families, their right. And I want them to know, that I appreciate you. You are my sanctuary here. I love what I do. I have no complaints. I will keep doing it as long as I can. But imagine, just imagine, what we could have achieved if the entire medical community had treated AYUSH harms with the same urgency they now show for fake ORS. If every clinical society had said: our patients are being poisoned by unregulated products sold as medicine, and we will not stay quiet. We would have had better regulation. Better research. Better outcomes. Fewer destroyed organs. Fewer dead patients. Fewer transplants. "Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic." That is what AYUSH toxicity is to the Indian medical establishment - a distant rumble they can ignore while they enjoy their conferences. Until the storm arrives at their own table. It shouldn't take one doctor being dragged to court for the community to notice. It shouldn't take a patient dying for a society to issue a statement. Stand up for all of patient safety. Not just the parts that don't cost you anything. Dismantle the narrative Ayush is building. This is, the only beast, medical community in India must handle effectively to improve healthcare outcomes and public and patient safety.

@batatalal Give pluralism breathing room by recognizing asymmetry in doctrines and behaviors Article 25's public order and morality limits exist for this reality — apply them with eyes open to asymmetry instead of pretending false neutrality

@batatalal Religion, as long as , it's a private affair, nobody is bothered, even if it says it's the only way to god. The moment it turns public, it creates disharmony You can't have preachers publicly saying that the constitution is wrong in saying "Sarva Dharma Sambhava"

Indian Constitution shaggers encountering the Indian constitution is an underrated form of comedy.

No society thrives when education is reduced to memorizing a religious book, and questioning is punished. Progress comes from science, critical thinking, and curiosity, not fear of asking questions. This is why countries run under Sharia are sh*t holes.

@MeedasSahoo When people don't understand economics, they create sensational news. You are one of them.

8.2 LAKH CRORE. Yes, read that again. ₹8.2 LAKH CRORE to be borrowed when crude oil has barely touched $100. Now remember The same people who are struggling today were mocking Manmohan Singh back then, when he was navigating far worse conditions with Crude at $120 - $140. And yet, he held the economy steady without any noise, chest thumping or PR spectacle He navigated the 2008 global crisis. He handled the oil super cycle. He managed the taper tantrum. And most importantly, he did it without making ordinary Indians feel the shock. Because his focus was simple. Stability. Clarity. Foresight. He governed to protect people, not to perform for headlines. Fast forward to today. Lower crude prices. More resources. More control. And still, RECORD BORROWING. Visible stress. No clear direction. The same people who mocked him are now struggling to manage far easier conditions. That is the difference. One governed with depth & responsibility. The other survives on optics. History has a way of correcting narratives. And when it does, it will remember this clearly. History will indeed be kinder to Dr Manmohan Singh 🙏

"I deliberately misled the Maharashtra people. Instead of 11, I lied about one bomb blast in Masjid Bunder to give the impression of 12. I pointed the finger at Sri Lanka to divert attention away from the Muslims." - Sharad Pawar admits on record (2006)

@AlamBarbil @ai_for_success

@aditya_gan3500 @ORDIndia @Alnylam "Thank you 🙏. Humbled by a fellow doctor who himself does a strong rare disease advocacy."

@Mending_Kidneys @ORDIndia @Alnylam You are a skilled doctor Dr Gupta

@ORDIndia How to help a child 3 year old with Type 1 Hyperoxaluria with no pyridoxine responsiveness to procure lumasiran. Family has lost two children before. This child hasn't got renal failure as of now.

@aditya_gan3500 @ORDIndia Ya Sent him to AIIMS DELHI - PEDIATRIC NEPHROLOGY. Because his GFR is preserved, on compassionate grounds, he might get it from the company @Alnylam . Not many reach a diagnosis before advanced CKD.

@Mending_Kidneys @ORDIndia Nobody responded? What a shame

@Ballzheimers @Tushar_KN @khanumarfa This is brainwashing. You should investigate this. Unsettling and dangerous times ahead. It's not a fringe problem. It's deep rooted. a muslim toddler wants to kill Hindus.

@Tushar_KN A Muslim toddler, who can barely speak wants to delete Pallavi who is a Hindu. Devious monstrous Qaum.

If you call that radicalization, then what the hell is this? That innocent Hindu girl said nothing wrong compared to these radicalized, vile kids Stop gaslighting Hindus and go teach morality to the kids in your community

Ayaan Hirsi Ali - let’s talk a bit about her. She is one of the most courageous voices of our time. She was born in 1969 in Mogadishu, Somalia, into a strict Muslim family. As a young girl, she was subjected to female genital mutilation. She grew up between Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya under a strict Islamic upbringing. In 1992, she fled to the Netherlands to escape an arranged marriage - she jumped off a train in Europe and applied for asylum. There, she learned Dutch, earned a degree in political science, and began working with integration. She lost her faith in Islam. She became an atheist, and later converted to Christianity in 2023. She saw clearly how Islam oppresses women - forced marriages, honor killings, female genital mutilation, polygamy, and the total lack of freedom. In 2004, she made the short film Submission together with Theo van Gogh. The film showed violence against women in Islam. Shortly after, Theo van Gogh was murdered in broad daylight in Amsterdam by a radical Muslim. A threat against Ayaan was left pinned to his chest: she was next. She received death threats for years. She had to live under police protection. She was elected to the Dutch parliament for the Liberal Party, where she fought for Muslim women’s rights and against the illusions of multiculturalism. She has written books such as Infidel, Nomad, and Heretic, where she directly criticizes the core of Islam - not just “extremism,” but the ideology itself. Today, she lives in the United States, married to historian Niall Ferguson, and continues her work, among other things through her foundation (AHA Foundation). She warns the West about mass immigration from Muslim countries, parallel societies, and the self-deception that claims Islam can be reformed without confronting its texts and history. Like Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali has paid a high price for speaking the truth. Rushdie was hunted for a book. She was hunted for showing the reality of her own life and the lives of millions of Muslim women. She is not “Islamophobic.” She is a former Muslim who has seen the system from the inside and refuses to stay silent. She points to the uncomfortable truth: that Western values such as freedom of speech, gender equality, and individual liberty are incompatible with classical sharia Islam. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a living example of why the Enlightenment is still worth defending. She risked her life to say what most people don’t dare: that the problem is not only “extremists,” but a religion that, at its core, oppresses women and rejects criticism. She deserves respect from all of us - not because she is “controversial,” but because she refuses to lie in order to be politically correct. In a time where many bow to threats, she continues to speak the truth. These are the kind of people who keep the soul of the West alive. Thank you Ayaan.❤️‍🔥🪽✝️

@DoctorAniBhat Totally lost plot. Pfizer zevicefta cost this much, the last resort antibiotic, not pipracillin-tazobactum. The cost of ICU is not antibiotics only, it's the cost of monitoring, timely intervention, solving the chaos of MODS, and it's totally justified.

A single ICU antibiotics like Piptaz is 4-5k per vial and must be given thrice a day Then there are specific medicines for patients condition, bed costs, doctor charges, nurse charges, specialist charges, ABG changes, blood tests etc. 50k is actually quite cheap

I’ll rephrase is so that people understand who is the real culprit. Healthcare care infrastructure in govt hospitals is highly inadequate and Government and Political Parties have looted all citizens of their hard earned tax and still not able to provide basic services. They have made your taxes a money making machine for themselves. They don’t care about you, your life - you’re just a number to fill their pockets. No transparency, just asking for money- vasooli but legal. Becuase of their inefficiency- Indians who cannot afford Private healthcare are going to private hospitals and - who are providing world class services at cost which allows them to function profitably since they are not charity. Instead of asking govt for accountability- we are blaming the wrong entity becuase we want Mercedes at the cost of Splendor. We are that entitled - but ofcourse - we won’t demand that entitlement from leaders.

@aditya_gan3500 @kritikatwtss Patient's point is about cost, which is a different matter altogether. Clinical examination is enough most of the time for empirical antibiotics, if it's a bacterial infection. There is no prescription available. If it's just a cough & cold, she doesn't need antibiotics.

@Mending_Kidneys @kritikatwtss But the patient has a point doctor We can't always defend indefensible If it was something serious, why wasn't imaging and sputum tests ordered? Is it guideline directed to start antibiotics straightaway?

Okay, I went to a general physician for my cough and cold checkup. OPD charges were 750, and medicine cost 1000. I think I can still afford it, but it shouldn’t be this expensive.
