Great conversation with GI #livertwitter program directors with @LiverFellow! 🔹There is no "perfect" GI candidate 🔹GI is competitive--you have to be interested in medicine & clinically 🦾 🔹If you don't directly apply from residency, Why?"

Most memorable case of #AEF year! ➡️Inoperable cholecystitis, didn’t want perc drain ➡️unable to open mouth due to radiation/surg What does problem-solver @a_gilman say? “Can you scope through the orbit?” Couldn’t have done it without your support! @ASGEendoscopy @GIE_Journal
Andrew Gilman@a_gilman

Check out our (@TrieuMD) case report on EUS gallbladder drainage via an orbit without an eye. Video included. Her performance during this case, as a fellow, definitely showed she was ready to graduate! authors.elsevier.com/a/1ib-b3mGpn-ez

@DanielaRamMD A fellow USMLE aspirant shared this from his experience. This person offering “Absentee” LOR is unfortunate assistant professor at a Medical school in Chicago, taking advantage of IMG’s.

We are officially stopping our self-funded analysis of alternative medicines belonging to Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Siddha, Unani, Naturopathy, Tibetan medicine, traditional healer formulations and quack products and those from the herbal and dietary supplements industry. Yesterday we sent out the last 70 samples for analysis to our independent lab partner. Our Lab partners are very nice. They gave us multiple deferred option payments so that we could run projects smoothly. But the debt is building and we have to clear it and call it a day. But we did good and we held on strong. It has been a wild ride. Starting from 2017 until 2023, we would have spent close to 100,00,000+ Indian rupees paid out from our pockets to help ourselves understand what the public was exposed to. It has been personally, mentally, physically, professionally and financially a draining process for us, especially me. We spent time retrieving, analysing and studying the contents of these products. I remember grieving family members travelling as far as 350 km from our hospital to their homes to retrieve the Ayurveda formulations for us to analyse. A husband travelled back all the way home to get a multiherbal product that his wife had used for her diabetes. His cousin kept watch over his wife, admitted to the ICU at the time. Unfortunately she died without getting a transplant on time. He never came back to me to discuss results of the analysis. I understand now. The worst, worrying part of it all, that made me lose sleep and got me onto social media to voice concerns of Ayush public health damage was that all of these, were avoidable deaths. Through this, we were able to educate hundreds of thousands of people about the harms that alternative medicine industry, especially AYUSH in India exposed people to. Through the years, we published more than original papers on it and became the only clinical research group that published on this intimidating topic from the heartland of Ayush practice, from India. And we paid great price. From battling litigations, spending money on legal notices, facing cops in the outpatient department, answering summons from the State and Central Ministries and facing physical amd mental harassments, we have come a long way. I learned a lot through this selfless practice. I found that lack of empathy from real doctors, the selfish survival tactics from Ayush practitioners, the false narrative peddled by Ayush that alt med was cheaper and safer, the greed of business, the indoctrination of religion and primal traditions/culture and a spiraling scientific temper boosted by nationalism and politics were reasons for people dying from unscientific health seeking behavior. But all of these analysis, done on almost close to 350 types of formulations will not go to waste. Once completed, we plan to make this one of the most educative, effective, alternative medicine demystifying peer reviewed publication that will stand the test of time. I wish to thank everyone on and off Twitter, who helped me carry my voice, studies, experience and communications on critical thinking and medical science to the masses. I will now focus on completing my book deal, conducting academic sessions at the Institute, designing and running clinical trials and improving collaborative efforts for research at global level for my Unit. And after all these years, this is my summary of what I have learned so far - "Ayush is the shittiest healthcare practice there is and will remain so in the future." Thanks again and love to all.

Today 1924, Paul Meier was born. He introduced the Kaplan-Meier estimator, one of the most influential method in the history of medicine. Every scientist and doctor should take a moment to honor him #MedTwitter
