@theliverdoc Congratulations, Sir! I have been following your work for a few years now! This is an amazing share! All the best! Already pre-ordered! ✅

1/2 Dear Friends, I never wanted to become a doctor. I always wanted to write and tell stories. And yet, over the years, medicine gave me the most extraordinary stories I could never have imagined - stories that lived in hospital corridors, outpatient rooms and inside terrifying ICUs; in the trembling hands of a father carrying his jaundiced daughter, in the silence between a prognosis spoken and a family's world shattered. Today, I am proud and deeply moved to announce my first book, The Liver Doctor: Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration, published by @HarperCollinsIN . This book is where my two worlds finally collide. My childhood love for writing and telling stories. And my adultdhood, as a medical doctor. Through the lives of real patients and their families - their courage, their grief, their impossible choices - I tell the story of the most misunderstood, most indispensable, and only self-regenerating organ in the human body: the liver. But this is not just a medical book. It is a journey through ancient myth and modern science, through Prometheus and Wilson's disease, through Mesopotamian clay tablets and liver transplant waiting lists, through the history of healing itself. I wrote it for doctors, so they may remember why they chose this life. I wrote it for patients and families, so they may know when to fight and when to find peace. I wrote it for myself, to make peace with what I have lost and what I will lose. This book shoulders that one truth I have learned in all my years at the clinical bedside: I did not become a doctor to help people cheat death, but to help them understand it. This book is my offering - to medicine, to storytelling, and to you. Lose yourself in these pages, as I have. Pre-orders are open now The Liver Doctor : Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration - amzn.in/d/0duTenmW

possibly the best tweet of all time

/ stopped breaking down on highways, as much as they do now, I assume there is loss to several companies in the automotive industry. Again, political motivation etc exist in this industry too, surely. I just think this is another lobby that may exist

Wrt on poor road conditions, here's my ₹2 on the matter: They aren't built properly intentionally, period. Reasons are well known - bribes 🔄repair etc. However, I think there may be other lobbies at play - automobile OEMs (tyres , axels, etc). If vehicle/contd

Would making work experience mandatory help reduce the number of candidates for all government exams? 🤔🤔 #thoughtoftheday

Please amplify. A friend’s dad is diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease. Need help on - 1. Procuring the oral suspension form of Edaravone (manufacturer - Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma and brand name is Radicava ORS) 2. ⁠Support groups around ALS/Motor Neuron Disease

@amazonIN we had an issue with one of our orders. You guys requested 48 hours. It's been 48 hours. Issue hasn't been resolved. Nobody called or sent any message in this regard. HELP!

@DrAkhilX Can it also be attributed to the anxiety of visiting an unknown doctor vs a known one? I kind of have that. Diagnostic centres mine is always higher. Whereas it's very normal when my doctor friend measures it

I have major trust issues when it comes to measuring blood pressure — I always check it myself, and always with a mercury sphygmomanometer. Today, a patient came with recurrent headaches and multiple somatic complaints. She had visited a nearby hospital a week ago and was prescribed analgesics; her BP there was recorded as 120/80 mmHg. When I checked today, it was 200/120 mmHg. I trust my trust issues.

My handwriting got like 5 different fonts, depends on my mood and the pen I’m using.

@theliverdoc Happy Birthday,Dr Philips !! Have a great one! 😁

Dear friends, I turn 43 today. Thank you for all your warm wishes on this day. I took a leave from hospital today to be with family and unwind. I started doing this every birthday after a near fatal crash in 2021 (at a time when I was wholly married to my work) and everything changed since then. I decided to smell the flowers, and touch the grass, but also do quality work as a professional. Yes work life balance is possible. It is not a myth. As a clinical doctor sub-specialist, there are many things I changed for the better. I stopped being a workaholic. I found that seeing 20 patients a day with utmost dedication and care was far more satisfying than seeing 100 quickly. It also helped me improve my patients lives. I learned to prescribe less, listen more, treat when needed and advice lifestyle changes. It is now more than 3 years since I have touched alcohol. So that I can authoritatively treat my patients and advice them with what is right. I stopped meeting medical pharma representatives and accepting to go for every medical conference and sponsored meeting. This actually improved my clinical knowledge because I started to improve myself, on my own. I read more... I became that student I once was. I became my most important competition. Everyday I try to be a better doctor for my patients - by following science and evidence and updating myself. I started to love myself, because of which I started to take care of myself. From finding time for daily work outs (not to develop a 6-pack, but to be physically active to improve overall health), keeping aside time to unwind, and saying no to additional work and over indulging in commitments - because of which, I found time to feed my passions - music, book writing and movies. My first book (non-fiction) is now in proof-reading (hopefully will be out next year). And I started working on my new book projects. Bound India (@boundindia) and @tarakh489 will be representing my future literary works. At some point in the future, I want to write so much more (not like these days when I have to burn midnight oil to get through a chapter after an exhausting day at work). I stopped believing in publish or perish. This is a myth. Academic life is important. I am still active in it - but I choose my battles wisely. I do not get anxious or depressed if I cannot publish medical papers consistently. I decided to publish medical papers if I find them worthy of spending time, money and effort on. This gave me the option of indulging in public health research projects (like Citizens Protein Project) and spend more time with MESH (meshindia.org). This was far more satisfying that wasting money to publish medical science that only catered to my peer-circles and not the public. Today, I had a good breakfast with my wife, and we decided to get inked (my fourth and fifth tattoos), got some choux pastry instead of traditional 'cake cutting' and worked more on my new book (a semi-autobiographical medical college memoir). I thank you all for the great support and love in here... and I hope I can do more for my patients, their family, my family and the public at large... as long as I can. ...and thanks also to my trolls and loud but irrelevant critics in whose minds I live rent free.

@anshuMor @Swiggy It happens. Sometimes multiple orders on a single trip. May/may not be nearby places

My @Swiggy partner picked my food and then went first to deliver some other order and then reached my house! WTF! Food delivery kar rahe ho ya toothpaste! I always thought it was supposed to be straight from restaurant to your house.

My Amma said - you're employed, getting a regular salary, have a roof over your head, food on your table. Why are you so worried? Thoughts led me to one conclusion - our parents came from a generation of problems of frugality. We became a generation of problems of abundance

@zomato Have very few regrets!

best life advice but you only have 4 words👇

@JasjeevAnand Is everything ok? Any way we can help?

As a #MUFC fan, I just hope it works out for #rubenamorim at the #MU . It was similar a few years ago when EtH buzz was generated - video analysis, compilations, "Let him cook". Over €1.3bn on transfers, yet no Premier league title. I sincerely hope for a title by 26-27!
