Tell me the one medication that truly impressed you.

No. Working in a chaotic GH casualty with limited resources with an ever present risk of assault is not the same as working in an AC room. GH emergency is closer to a war zone than any other profession. Therefore 36 hours of our work >>> 100 hours of yours.

We Have Won! No one can use ‘ORS’ on their label unless it’s a WHO-recommended formula. This is the story of Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a braveheart paediatrician from Hyderabad, who fought for 8 years against sugar-rich drinks falsely marketed as ORS. Her persistence led to FSSAI’s landmark order, protecting children and patients from misleading claims. “These drinks had 10x the sugar WHO recommends, worsening diarrhoea and complications in millions of kids,” she explains. This victory is not just hers, but belongs to everyone who stood with her — doctors, advocates, parents, and citizens demanding truth in labeling. Scroll down to see how her 8-year battle changed the game for public health and children across India.

Half my day is spent trying to convince those requesting #GLP1 weight loss drugs that they DON'T NEED THEM The other half is spent trying to convince those who are ideally suited (but refuse due to fear of side effects) that they SHOULD TAKE THEM. Social media driving patient decisions is a big challenge for endocrinologists and will only get worse. #weightloss #obesity #diabetes

@ScCardoz If it is an emergency admission at the early morning hours and have concerns about the hospital bills why didn’t they consider Govt hospitals where majority of the treatment is free. Priority should be gvn to improve the infrastructure in govt hospitals to avoid insurance scams.

I hope this brave girl is not coined as anti national 👇thank you for the expose 🙏

World Thyroid Day 25th May 2025

Dear @PMOIndia @MoHFW_INDIA @mygovindia With rising #COVID19 cases & severe illness in immunocompromised people, we urge urgent access to updated #vaccines like Novavax. No vaccines currently available, waning immunity is a real risk. Early action saves lives. #PublicHealth

#hormonehealerstories I’ve noticed a common pattern on Instagram: people who were once overweight, went through a weight loss journey, and are now in shape suddenly start offering advice on treating diabetes, hormone issues, and metabolic health — often after taking a few random online courses. But here’s the problem: personal transformation doesn’t equal medical expertise. Managing conditions like insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or hormonal imbalances requires in-depth knowledge — something that only licensed professionals like Endocrinologists If someone claims to be a hormone expert, the least they should be able to do is list and understand the major hormones in the body. If they can’t even name them accurately, they shouldn’t be giving advice.

Endocrine Society of India strongly condemns the heinous attack in Pahalgam and stands in solidarity with all those affected by this tragedy.

Looking forward to a fun evening of learning with @dr_rsantosh and @idrlakshmi and the whole team. 😊

@JPNadda @CMOMaharashtra @PMOIndia Sir Sharing link of a Facebook post where the person is advising people against hospitalizing their kin when they develop GBS. He is putting their lives at risk. Kindly act on this asap before innocent people die. fb.watch/xtC_wElA1i/

Hello, actual Liver Diseases Specialist here. This viral video is top of the line misinformation and an attempt to increase the business of a jackfruit-based product manufactured and sold by the speaker. There is absolutely ZERO evidence that substituting processed jackfruit flour in your diet helps in the treatment of fatty liver or reverses fatty liver. All the studies cited by this person in the video are funded by his own jackfruit-based product company - it has not been validated or replicated by other independent research groups or vetted by nutritional or dietary clinical societies. The person in this video is an IT professional and has ZERO medical knowledge about normal anatomy, physiology and functioning of the liver, let alone any liver disease. TED has flagged this talk and has cautioned viewers to not take this as medical advice. Nonetheless, this person and his PR team has succeeded in getting this absolute garbage talk into the minds of the medically illiterate who will now queue up to buy his product. Apart from the >500K views on YouTube, this health misinformation has spread like wildfire on Whatsapp and I have been receiving multiple forwards asking me to fact check this claim. I thought it was important for me to do so. Strangely, this was the same guy, whose same jackfruit-based product once upon a time marketed for diabetes control, which was once under the scanner for adulteration with metformin (a diabetes reducing drug). Magically, that news took a u-turn and the jackfruit product was cleared as "original" and "unadulterated" later on (it is India, let your imagination go wild as to how). You do not need to spend any additional money buying processed and powdered jackfruit to control your non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease (called MASLD now). Check out these "Rules". Rule 1 Control your metabolic syndrome - take medications to control diabetes, thyroid disease, high lipids, high uric acid or high blood pressure. Ifyou are diagnosed with fatty liver - screen for the reasons you have developed fatty liver. Treating the causes of fatty liver reverses disease. Repeat: it is not treatment of fatty liver, it is treatment of causes for the fatty liver that is paramount. Rule 2 If overweight or obese, lose weight See these simple to understand recommendations: nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educati… Rule 3 Control your food portions or include standardized, safe meal replacements. But do not reduce your food quality. Check out Table III from this paper for an idea -on meal portions and quality: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC40… Rule 4 Go on a calorie deficit diet Here is how you can plan a meal (without paying any jackfruit agent): liverwellnessprogram.com/nutritional-ad… Rule 5 Aerobic exercise & weight training Here is a detailed document on exercise protocols you can use: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10… and a simple summary: liverwellnessprogram.com/exercise-advic… Rule 6 Drink black coffee. Even decaf is ok. 3 cups (100-120ml) daily - remember no sugar, creamer or milk. May add a bit of non-sugar zero or low-calorie sweetener if bored once in a while. Rule 7 If you have chronic illnesses/ morbidly obese and the above standard guidance is not helping you, speak with your doctor regarding candidacy for special drug treatments (semaglutide) or surgical managements (bariatric surgery). Rule 8 Stop 'consuming' health information from IT Professionals on YouTube and such social media. Summary: Jackfruit does not hold any key, let alone go into any keyhole, to solving fatty liver. But it does hold the key to solving a dwindling saving account of certain grifter who sell misinformation to float their businesses propped up on flimsy, half-baked evidence masqueraded as "medical evidence." Buyer beware.

In a single day, Allu Arjun got arrested, Allu Arjun got hearing, Allu Arjun got bail. Justice isn't slow, you are just poor.

As a doctor, I interact with 100 patients every day. I remain extra cautious not to comment on something I don’t know entirely about and instead refer them to a specialist—not because I can’t provide basic care, but because I don’t want to risk giving them some information that I might know well about, affect their prognosis. On the other hand, people with millions of followers recklessly share opinions on complex medical topics without fully understanding them. They continue to make claims without a shred of concern for how their words might negatively impact others’ health. Where is the conscience, guys? #MedTwitter
