85 to 90 percent of women physicians are eldest daughters. That is not a coincidence. That is a pipeline. Eldest daughters are trained, before age five, to over-function. They take on a parent's worry. They organize the family. They clean up without being asked. They do not ask for help, because they were rewarded their whole childhood for not needing any. Then they walk into medicine. A career that demands hyper-responsibility, hypervigilance, perfectionism, and silent sacrifice does not have to ask these women to give those things. They were giving them before they could read. The system is not stumbling into a burnout problem. The system is recruiting from a pool of people whose entire childhood was a training program for it. This is what pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney has been finding when she asks the room. In every group, in every retreat. Maybe one or two women are not eldest daughters. The rest have been carrying something since before they could spell their own name. Most of those women blame themselves. "Why don't I have boundaries?" "Why do I over-function?" "Why can't I delegate?" Because at five years old, your family rewarded you for over-functioning. Because every teacher praised you for it. Because the medical training system selected for it. Because every job since has reinforced it. The pattern is older than your medical degree by twenty years. The other piece nobody names: by the time these women are in their fifties, they are carrying eldest-daughter responsibility for aging parents AND running a department as chief AND running a household. The role does not retire when the children do. It just compounds. Jessie's reframe is the part worth bookmarking. The "hero" framing is the trap. Eldest daughters were made the savior of the family before they could read. Then medicine made them the savior of the patient. Then the department made them the savior of the team. At every stage, they learned that if they did not do it, terrible things would happen and it would be their fault. Awareness is the first move. Non-judgment is the second. Excellence is not doing everything yourself. Excellence is letting other people do their jobs. You are allowed to gift some of it back. You can ask your siblings to carry the aging parent. You can let your medical assistant do the medical assistant's job. You can stop covering the gap that nobody actually asked you to cover. Most eldest daughters in medicine have never asked for help. When they finally do, they discover people are willing to help. The asking was the whole obstacle. Listen to the full conversation on The Podcast by KevinMD. Link in the replies. What is the one task you have been carrying for your family or your team that no one ever actually asked you to carry? #ThePodcastbyKevinMD

Scientists have discovered AI data centers are even worse for the environment than we thought. Big data centers create "heat islands" that raise local surface temperatures an average of 3.6°F, enough to potentially devastate local wildlife and water supply.

What is not in distress in India?

The entire Jabalpur boat tragedy is a commentary in how our lives are so cheap in India and how the authorities get away with literally murder.

Our own Singeetam Srinivasa Rao (@RaoSingeetham) has broken Clint Eastwood's record and stands as the world's most elderly active director. Clint Eastwood directed his latest film, Juror #2, starting at the age of 93 years and 1 month, and it was released when he was 94 years and 5 months old. However, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao (born September 21, 1931) is currently directing his ambitious musical fantasy, Sing Geetham, at the age of 94 years and 7 months. With this feat, he surpasses Eastwood to become the oldest active filmmaker in the world currently leading a major production.

His name was GN Saibaba. He was born in 1967 in Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh. He contracted polio at age five and used a wheelchair for the rest of his life. More than 90 percent of his body was paralysed. He topped his university in his undergraduate degree. Completed his masters from the University of Hyderabad. Finished his PhD from Delhi University. He became an assistant professor of English at Ram Lal Anand College, Delhi University. He spent years writing and advocating for the rights of Adivasi communities in central India. On May 9, 2014, Maharashtra Police came to Delhi University campus and took him blindfolded to Gadchiroli without informing his wife. He was charged under UAPA for alleged links with a banned Maoist organisation. The Bombay High Court later noted in its 293 page judgment that Maharashtra Police brought a barber as their witness for the search conducted at his home on a university campus. The court found serious procedural lapses in how evidence was seized, sealed and labelled. In March 2017, a sessions court sentenced him to life imprisonment. He was denied bail despite his disability. He was denied permission to attend his mother’s funeral. His co accused Pandu Narote, 33 years old, died of swine flu in Nagpur Central Jail in August 2022 before his name was ever cleared. In October 2022, the Bombay High Court acquitted him. The Maharashtra government filed a petition in the Supreme Court on a Saturday before the written order was even officially released. The Supreme Court stayed the acquittal. In March 2024, the Bombay High Court acquitted him again. The court said the evidence was wholly unbelievable and called the trial court verdict a failure of justice. He walked out of Nagpur Central Jail on March 7, 2024, after nearly 10 years. He said it was only by chance that he had come out alive. On October 12, 2024, he died of cardiac arrest following complications from a gallbladder surgery. He was 57 years old. The system imprisoned him. The system acquitted him. The system watched him die. Nobody answered for any of it. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

Don’t know what would or can wake up #Telangana legal metrology dept. Every single day consumers are cheated of fuel. Strict enforcement is needed. No raids leading to robbery by fuel stations. Legal metrology & PCB currently are the most defunct, useless departments.

If doing this helps win elections, then the problem isn’t with them, it’s with the voters.

10700 litres of water for just 1 litre of ethanol. At a time when India is staring at a severe water crisis, with reports warning that major cities could run out of groundwater by 2030, we are aggressively pushing ethanol production that consumes massive water and generates toxic wastewater. India produces 1800 crore litres of ethanol. Do the math, the water footprint is staggering. And who benefits? The same political ecosystem. Nitin Gadkari keeps pushing ethanol, while his own family has major stakes in the industry. Conflict of interest much? This isn’t policy. This is profit disguised as policy. If leaders are more focused on enriching their own families than protecting resources like water, how does India ever become a truly great nation?
