My life in pictures. No words. Just a picture everyday for 7 days. I was nominated by @gag_aggarwal I nominate @drlovygaur Day 1

@gag_aggarwal @airfrance @DGCAIndia Worst flight experience of this life. The staff misbehaves, shouts at you, gives no information. The luggage is thrown into the bus with the passengers, completing blocking all exits (no windows which can’t open, if there’s any emergency, passengers are doomed) @airfrance

@airfrance @DGCAIndia This is how bags were loaded onto the bus - we weren’t allowed to move. Passengers were herded worse than cattle @airfrance @DGCAIndia the ground staff was rude, unapologetic and again clueless!!

Appalling experience @airfrance AI 225. Stuck on runway for 4hrs, vague updates 'mechanical issues', then flight cancelled. Now, stranded@ immigration for 1 hr, with no assistance/food/water. Ground staff clueless. Such poor management is unacceptable. @DGCAIndia address this.

Dear hospitalist, Your patient isn't confused because the BUN is 55, it's cuz their GFR is 9 and you've given them full dose cefepime for three days. Sincerely, A job secured nephrologist

Grateful not only for the qualification, also for the life training ! It was a done deal on my first day at #AHRR !

Excited to have interviewed @ASNKidney President Dr Josephson about her upcoming talk at #ISNCON2023 Here is an excerpt ->tips for early career nephrologists👇 Full📽️ youtube.com/watch?v=MWox3r… Register isncon2023.com 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟒-𝟏7, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 | Kolkata @isn_india

Victimhood is the modern day opium of the masses. While narratives of congenital disadvantages are common, stories of steely resolve that overcame them aren’t. Which is why it is important to remind ourselves of great souls. Muthulakshmi Reddy was born in 1886 in the princely state of Pudukottai in Tamilnadu. Her father was Narayanswami Iyer. Her mother was a devadasi. In Tamil, they were called “Devaradiyar”.If you are an Indian, I don’t need to tell what that means. In case you didn’t know, they were women who were ostensibly “dedicated” to temple deities tasked with passing on the baton of the art of dance to the next generation. The grim reality was different. They were often subjected to exploitation and were considered prostitutes by the British government. It was actually worse than prostitution- no one chose to be a devadasi. The prepubescent girl was initiated into the system by a religious ceremony which ensured her permanent status as a concubine. She would have a male patron, but no rights to his surname or inheritance. Devadasis needn’t marry and were called, “Nityasumangali” - meaning immune to widowhood. It was a crass euphemism - after all, you can’t become a widow if you aren’t married. Luckily for Muthulakshmi, her father was an academician and a school principal. A sole oasis in an otherwise barren desert. He gave her the power of education. The class in which she studied had 40 boys and 3 girls - separated by a screen. Even then the parents of the boys objected, fearing their “innocent” sons would be ensnared by a prepubescent femme fatale.This may sound absurd, but this was a common trope in those days. One of the teachers resigned in protest. But her father stood with her and provided her a plank. After attaining puberty, she was home schooled, as was the tradition in those days. She wanted to change not just her destiny, but also those of others. She asked the Maharaja of Pudukottai for funds to study medicine.The stunned Maharaja gave her a princely sum of Rs.150 which was the much needed escape velocity that changed her trajectory. She became the first woman to enter Madras medical college. She was studious and bagged several medals. When she wanted to take obstetrics and become a surgeon, the professors were shocked. Surgery with its blood and gore, was considered a man thing then. Nevertheless, with characteristic persistence, she became an obstetrician. She started catering to the elite professionals first. However, a turning point happened soon. Her sister developed rectal cancer and eventually died. Back then, cancer wasn’t known to the public as the emperor of maladies. Those who were unlucky enough to get it were considered doomed. No one wanted to spend on a lost cause. So Dr Muthulakshmi took it upon herself to go to the UK and trained in Royal Marsden hospital to manage cancer patients. She had a rare combination of strong roots and powerful wings. She came back to Madras, but faced painful apathy about cancer. She turned to Women’s India Association - which helped fund, the first cancer hospital in Madras - the Adyar cancer institute. One day, three girls from Namakkal ran away from the Devadasi system and asked her , “Now what will happen of us? Where will we stay?”. She realized the dire problem and set about the long journey that would culminate in their emancipation. She sheltered them, but not just them. She started the Avvai home. She met Sarojini Naidu and became a nationalist. Realizing the importance of political power, she went on to become the first woman to join the legislative council in British India. She was also the first woman in the world, to become the deputy President of a legislative council.

@snamratarao @MonaADhar Never say never !!!

Glad the Resident doctors are FINALLY standing up for themselves! Toxic residency cultures in most residency programs 🇮🇳 need to be checked. No more “we had it worse” “these kids need to learn the hard way” Feel sorry for the resident, and many like them. Stay 💪🏽
