@theliverdoc Congratulations!

1/2 Dear Friends, I never wanted to become a doctor. I always wanted to write and tell stories. And yet, over the years, medicine gave me the most extraordinary stories I could never have imagined - stories that lived in hospital corridors, outpatient rooms and inside terrifying ICUs; in the trembling hands of a father carrying his jaundiced daughter, in the silence between a prognosis spoken and a family's world shattered. Today, I am proud and deeply moved to announce my first book, The Liver Doctor: Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration, published by @HarperCollinsIN . This book is where my two worlds finally collide. My childhood love for writing and telling stories. And my adultdhood, as a medical doctor. Through the lives of real patients and their families - their courage, their grief, their impossible choices - I tell the story of the most misunderstood, most indispensable, and only self-regenerating organ in the human body: the liver. But this is not just a medical book. It is a journey through ancient myth and modern science, through Prometheus and Wilson's disease, through Mesopotamian clay tablets and liver transplant waiting lists, through the history of healing itself. I wrote it for doctors, so they may remember why they chose this life. I wrote it for patients and families, so they may know when to fight and when to find peace. I wrote it for myself, to make peace with what I have lost and what I will lose. This book shoulders that one truth I have learned in all my years at the clinical bedside: I did not become a doctor to help people cheat death, but to help them understand it. This book is my offering - to medicine, to storytelling, and to you. Lose yourself in these pages, as I have. Pre-orders are open now The Liver Doctor : Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration - amzn.in/d/0duTenmW

You wish!

"I'm at my limit" emotional or claude?

I am Dr. Sivaranjani, a pediatrician , raising concerns about how ERZL is being marketed and positioned in pharmacies, and the risk it creates for consumers making critical decisions during dehydration. This issue is not about whether ERZL is safe in isolation.
It is about how it is presented, perceived, and potentially misunderstood in real-world settings. ERZL is a commercially marketed electrolyte drink. However, its branding and advertising raise serious concerns. *It should not be using ORSL in its communication.* Why? Because: * ORSL itself is not the original medically recommended ORS * Referencing ORSL in any form creates brand recall in the minds of consumers * Instead of reducing confusion, it continues and reinforces it When ERZL is positioned as a continuation or replacement of ORSL, it keeps that same association alive — especially among parents who may already believe ORSL was equivalent to ORS. 👉 This defeats the very purpose of regulatory action. In pharmacy settings: * People are often making quick decisions under stress * They rely on familiar names and visual cues * Branding can directly influence what they choose If ERZL continues to build on ORSL recall, it risks being perceived as a medical solution for dehydration, even when it is not the same as ORS (the medically recommended solution). There are also concerns around ingredients like sucralose, especially in children and with prolonged use, based on global health guidance. This makes clear communication even more important. After raising these concerns, I have received a legal notice from Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue. This petition is not about conflict. It is about: * Clarity in healthcare communication * Preventing consumer confusion * Ensuring responsible branding and advertising * Allowing doctors to raise public health concerns without hesitation We urge the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to: 1 *. Ensure that, since ERZL closely resembles ORSL, Kenvue is directed to rebrand it in a way that does not create recall or association with ORSL.* 2. Prevent misleading positioning that may confuse consumers 3. Strengthen enforcement at the pharmacy level 4. Ensure clear differentiation from medically recommended ORS 5. Protect healthcare professionals raising genuine concerns In healthcare, even small confusion can have big consequences. Clear choices save lives. @fssai @JPNadda @MoHFW_INDIA @narendramodi Stand for public health. Sign and share this petition to help protect every family from confusion in critical moments. c.org/4wzT58q4wN

Delighted to announce my new ebook ‘NeetPG - Ophthalmology Review”. I have always maintained that ophthalmology (for NEETPG) is a high scoring subject. You cannot afford to miss any questions. This book brings together more than 1000 MCQs with explanations, last day revisions, mock tests, rank booster one liners, most common (of them all) type questions, radiology spotters, mnemonics, epomymous signs among others. This book is all that you need for revising ophthalmology. Click here: drgunjandeshpande.com/product-page/n… #MedTwitter #ophthalmology #neetpg

Artificial intelligence models overly affirm and validate users, even when users propose harmful or illegal actions, a new Science study finds. The resulting effect on users is notable: Receiving advice from affirming AI made people more self-centered and less able to see the perspectives of others. Yet people prefer the overly affirming AI, which may further promote this behavior in AI models. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/4lZmdwU
