Tokenisation is the building block of decentralising system. It brings together accessibility with affordability which will allow the lower middle and middle class people of India to have ownership of things which they never thought they will ever own. Crypto is just the tip of this iceberg and we are yet to discover a lot more once blockchain allows ownership of each of our asset and whichever country regulates this first will come on top.

@DrJohnAfam Couldn’t agree more. Who better than the professional’s who can understand the physiological and the ethical aspect to build the next era of healthtech.

Paediatric anaesthesia is a lot of math. For every case, you’re calculating, diluting, and drawing up 10+ drugs, all weight-based, all time-sensitive, zero margin for error. At some point, it stopped feeling like skill and started feeling like drudgery. So I built something more convenient. A paediatric anaesthesia calculator that handles the formulas and simplifies the workflow, so I can focus on the patient, not the arithmetic. Doctors shouldn’t just use tools. We should build them. What do you think 💬?

100% agree on this. Medicine is a huge part of who we are, but it shouldn’t be the only part. A side hustle is really just exploring other interest’s , and who knows maybe you can become good at it. If it turns into an income stream down the line, then even better.

The covid era. Exhaustion, burnout, fatigue. But we pick ourself up and build on from here 💪

@boardyai Healthtech.

Pitch me your company in 1 word.

Be honest, what do you consider the most important out of these?

@TayNusa Thank you.

@docrr_28 Happy belated birthday.

I turned 30 last month. After spending the defining decade of my life inside hospital wards and libraries, it has made me realise about the 5 brutal truths that we need to accept before putting on the white coat. 1. Master the delayed gratification. While your friends in tech and business are getting promotions, buying a new ride or travelling the world - you will be pushing through the night on hospital canteen food and zomato on good days. Your timeline might be a few years behind them, but don’t forget the big impact that you will create on the world. 2. Money doesn’t buy you everything. Although it does get you almost everything, but you have to start first by investing your time, energy and sometimes sanity. The stability will come later, but the burnout comes early if money is your only engine. 3. Not everything is greys anatomy. Unlike TV, medicine is not all dramatic hallway diagnoses and cliffhanger episodes while saving a life. It is also heavily made up of maintaining records, being on call and alert at 3 am, navigating through departments, and dealing with human grief. But once you get the hang of it, you will start loving the process of helping people. 4. The medical institutions will try taking everything you give it. It will take your weekends, your youth and maybe even physical health if you let it, but you cannot pour from an empty cup. Start by protecting your sleep, exercise regularly, and always try spending some time with your loved ones. Setting boundaries actually protects your patients just as much as it protects you. 5. The “anything else” rule. If you can see yourself doing literally anything else in life and being completely happy at it, then go do that. But if you want the absolute privilege and gratitude of a stranger trusting you with their life, then welcome to the greatest profession on earth.

@erequendi I feel this

Small accounts tweeting to absolutely ZERO engagement

@CraigBrockie It all start’s with adequate sleep and a good work-life balance.

What would you most like to improve about your health?

What do we think about the role of AI in healthcare? Will it replace our jobs or help us make better diagnostic decisions?

@atomicdeborah @theliverdoc Sure, but there’s a difference between quoting published journals for information and giving health advice. There need’s to be a line between awareness and misinformation.

@docrr_28 @theliverdoc They require a degree. But to me that restricts the ability of non-degree holders to share reliable scientific information or 科普 like scishow with reliable sources and promote awareness and literacy. Also true for finance and law.

I stopped wearing white coat routinely because every Tom (Homeopathy), Dick (Ayurveda) and Harry (Naturopathy) on social media started to wear one as a tool for false authority/credibility. Recently an Ayurveda graduate with the IQ of a sterile rolled gauze piece came wearing one ONLINE to debate me on science and pseudoscience. In India, the white coat is soon becoming a sign to mask professional inferiority complex or a desperate, beggarly appeal for recognition in medical and health for pseudoscience peddlers and legalized quacks because the government here has messed up the medical hierarchy (even letting physiotherapists use the title of Dr.). So lose the coat. Doesn't matter anymore.

“Can i ask you a medical question?” - The 8 words every doctor dreads hearing at a social event. I ran into an old friend at a wedding recently. After a quick hello, the conversation shifted to his mom’s chronic back pain. He wanted a diagnosis, a solution and a treatment plan right there next to the buffet. I did what any responsible doctor would do: asked him a few basic questions and told him to set up a call with his mother the next day, so i could actually look at her MRI scans. His reaction? He got offended. Felt i was brushing him off and spent the rest of the evening complaining to our friends that i wasn’t willing to help. Now imagine walking up to a comedian at a wedding and demanding they perform a 5 minute stand up set for you right there. If they politely decline because it’s not the time, the place, or the environment for them to do their job well, would you be offended? Probably not. You see medicine is science, not guesswork. Diagnosing a complex orthopedic issue over loud music and appetisers isn’t just bad manners, it’s dangerous medicine. We genuinely want to help your loved ones, but we want to do it right. With clinical history, scans and the right environment, so that we can completely focus on you. To my fellow healthcare workers, it’s okay to set boundaries when you are off the clock. Protect your peace at all cost.

Is doomscrolling the new junk food? Empty, highly processed content for the brain that leaves you feeling exhausted and starved for real connection. Think about it.

To those who appeared for the NEET-UG exam, congratulations on having the courage to attempt one of the toughest entrance exams. Before getting into the anticipation of results and the overwhelming counselling sessions, take some time out , get away from the mental fatigue and relax. Because the next few years are going to be the best and the toughest time of your life. It will not only make a great doctor out of you but also teach you about the hardships of life. You are gonna love and hate every bit of it but it’ll all be worth it in the end.

@FirstDoctor The circadian rhythm either adjusts to this or ends up destroying our body.

3am wake-ups aren’t a sleep problem. They’re your nervous system spiking cortisol because it doesn’t feel safe. You can try every supplement, app, and routine on the internet. Until your body believes the threat is gone, it will keep waking you up to check. Fix your sleep.

@DocPriyamMD Because of the above complexities i love orthopedics, minimal complications with maximum satisfaction. But i do agree with internal medicine being the backbone of any secondary/tertiary centers.

No disrespect to other specialties, but Internal Medicine is objectively the most fascinating and comprehensive branch in existence. It is the de facto face of any hospital or medical college. Beyond the obvious sub-specialties like Cardiology, Neurology, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Oncology, and Rheumatology, the academic depth is staggering. We are expected to master Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Physiology, Microbiology, and Pathology at almost the same level as the MDs in those respective foundational branches. In my experience, we have to know Anatomy, including every joint and muscle attachment, just as well as the surgical teams. While we do not perform the surgeries, we are expected to know the names of General Surgery and Orthopedic procedures along with their specific complications. Then there is the high-pressure environment of ICU critical care and casualty emergency medicine. We are the ones managing the most unstable patients at the frontlines and making the most critical split-second decisions. The list continues. We manage conditions typically handled by ENT and Ophthalmology. We are responsible for the complexities of pregnancy, including physiological changes, gestational diabetes, and seizures. Even the university exams demand we act as specialists in Dermatology for conditions like Pemphigus or Psychiatry for Schizophrenia or Bipolar disorder. We are even expected to interpret X-rays, CTs and MRIs just as well as a Radiologist in medical colleges Finally, there is Pediatrics, where we must master the approach to malnutrition, short stature, and almost the entire spectrum of childhood illness. Is there any other branch that is truly as vast as Internal Medicine? I do not think so.

@anxietymsgs Time, the most limited and valuable thing that exists. So use it wisely.
