The three resignations that this country needs for a healthy stock market.

Dear junior resident doctors please have a look at the effect of food and sleep deprivation from two sources viz PGIMER response and a research paper 1) Bipolar disorder 2) Diabetes 3) Dyslipidaemia 4) Fatty liver 5) Heart problem 6) Obesity 7) Schizophrenia 8) Stroke Missed things are reduction in sperm quality, erectile dysfunction and disturbed periods for females. So please be cautious. Please don’t let toxic squeezing HoD / consultant / senior PG to spoil your health irreversibly.   Work on legal duty hours as per residency scheme 1992. Save your mental and physical health. HoD / consultant can't help you on above issues as they themselves have 80% of these issues. Please focus on your health 1) If a senior PG forces you to work, call UGC anti ragging line 1800-180-5522. 2) If toxic HoD forces you to work long illegal duty hours that puts patient care under risk, complain at the police station, NMC and CPGRAM. 3) No compromise in quality patient’s care even though the HoD & Dean forces and blackmails using internal marks & thesis. 4) A sleep deprived, food deprived & overworked doctor can’t serve legitimate interest of patients 5) Our patients need healthy doctors. Let’s not betray their trust and let them down due to prejudiced, toxic people in the system.

A Mumbai govt hospital advised a pregnant woman's family to consider transferring her elsewhere, as pre-delivery fetal assessment indicates her newborn will likely require NICU care, and all of their NICU beds are currently occupied. The woman's husband called Shiv Sena (Shinde) corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who arrived with his goons and assaulted doctors and nurses. If you understand how hospitals work, you'll know a bed not being available is not the doctor's fault. You can't ask another critical newborn to vacate a bed, nor can you provide NICU care on the floor, nor can you "arrange bed from some other dept" because a NICU bed isn't just a bed, it comes with ventilators, monitors, oxygen, infusion pumps, and other life-support equipment. So the blame, if any, goes on the govt. But doctors are the easiest targets, and assaulting them earns politicians easy political mileage. I know some will say, "Doctors are evil and deserve it," and that's fine. I'm not seeking sympathy. This post is for parents and medical aspirants. Unless your parents own a hospital, you choose govt jobs with better working conditions like the Army, paramilitary, or Railways, plan to pursue USMLE (or an equivalent pathway), or intend to move to private practice where you can arrange your own security, think carefully before choosing this profession. Most govt hospitals are hellholes. You can serve patients well for decades and still end up being abused or assaulted by a tenth-pass corporator, a publicity-hungry politician chasing cameras, or patient relatives who think every death could have been prevented if only the doctor had "tried harder."
