214,535. My father added to that number last night.
He served this county for 34 years and was still going to serve for two more years.
He was a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force, spirit he exhibited till the very last day and moment.
I’m whatever I’m today because of him
Anyone wants to know what VIP culture is.
I’ll tell you.
Beds in AIIMS are vacant but shown occupied by people in private ward having just fever.
Won’t name the Politicians.
While my father - an Indian Air Force officer,fighting for this country for past 30 year- denied a bed
I have myself served AIIMS for past 10 years. Still can’t get my father admitted to Trauma Centre.
My self a doctor and my father an Air Force officer.
he is sick. Like really sick.
His room air saturation is 70%.
He has Leukemia.
Ferritin and CRP through the roof(7500, 650)
I'll go on record for how much I earn and have earned so that everyone stops thinking doctors keep on making money. This perception has to change.
I joined AIIMS when I was 17 in 2012. I started earning when I turned an intern in 2017.
My work involved frequent 24-hour duties
600 Marks (out of 720) and 28K rank in NEET UG.
As a first gen doctor- it seriously isn’t worth this much effort.
It’s nice to be doctor - but to those who couldn’t crack it - it’s okay to move on after 1/2 drops.
I can’t wrap my mind around 6-7 drops people take these days.
How many of you know that a resident doctor in India regularly does 30-36 hour duty at a stretch? No sleep, no food.
Please retweet. A lot of people don’t even know the inhumane conditions we face.
Please amplify this tweet if possible. It’s just a way to show that death is not just a number.
And this death was way more than anything.
A country lost its warrior and a COVID warrior lost his father. I want him to be remembered to be known.
If people from middle class families can afford the costly smartphones then they can afford a treadmill at their home !!
Every family should have a treadmill like smartphones!!
There should be compulsory exercise before the breakfast 😄
What do you think??
#exercise
#Smartphones
I want him to be remembered. Not to be forgotten. For he is the face of this tragedy.
He had fought Leukemia bravely but succumbed to COVID.
I want people to know that death is not just a number.
He was the best dad. I miss you papa.I love you papa. Please come back. I want everyone to know, what a person you were. We all are very blessed to have experienced you for these past 55 years.
Has a so called ‘dog lover’ ever seen a case of Rabies ?
I wish you did.
I too had similar thoughts till my residency began- they are just dogs. What’s the issue if there are few stray dogs.
See and manage one case.
One.
People justifying 7 attempts for NEET UG.
You start your MBBS at 25/26.
You finish by 32
Then 1-2 year grind for PG.
Then 3 year PG.
Bhai- this is not Patience. Its unhealthy obsession.
Sorry for calling that out.
It’s not being judgemental. It’s being in sync with reality.
And he was charming and funny and hilarious. The coolest dad. I could share everything with him. He even made my love story work.
He got my ring ceremony done convincing my parents in law who were initially against the match.
Most People would be celebrating HC Verma getting Padma Shri- which he deserves. But this guy - this one right here - he deserves Bharat Ratna and every accolade possible . A thread (1/n )

President Kovind presents Padma Shri to Dr Ravi Kannan R. for Medicine. He is the Director of Cachar Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Silchar, Assam. Dr Kannan and his team offer cancer care to impoverished communities of Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
Labelling it suicide
Avoiding post mortem
Reconstruction
Asking for hanging if accused in 10 days
Now Mob attack on RG Kar
What skeletons are hiding inside

Took my mom to Kapurthala first time after dad’s demise.
On the way back, one good thing that happened was that I saw people wearing masks.
Except him. And coughing. When mom asked to wear started to swear saying Gaand mar loonga. I’m still in train. Still no mask
@PiyushGoyal
Students used to skip internship to clear NEET PG.
so government came with Next -1 and Next -2
Now students will skip clinics in MBBS and internship both !
For private colleges - my advice is simple - take if you can afford without a loan or are a second Gen doc.
My father told me very simply - he dint allow me to give Manipal’s exam - said he will put 36L in FD and I can survive of that for the rest of my life - which is true!
Frankly, I’m pretty sure if residents got 70 hour work week- they would be so so so happy!
12 hours for 5 days and 10 hours on Saturday and Sunday off.
That’s the dream!
Happy Independence Day everyone.
Let’s celebrate the freedom to be corrupt.
Let’s celebrate the freedom to litter anywhere.
Let’s celebrate the freedom to rape and murder.
India truly is the most independent country.
Long working hours are a given in most Indian Residencies.
Not allowing your juniors to have food/ not allowing them to sleep/not allowing them to sit.
That doesn’t make someone a better surgeon or doctor.
It just makes you an asshole.
The mean life expectancy of doctors is 59 years in India.
Most of us who have completed our PG have actually lived around half of our lives.
Don’t let Medicine consume you.
Do whatever ‘extra’ you want to since life actually is short for a doctor.
It’s funny how if I make a mistake - I can get charged with criminal negligence but when oxygen wasn’t available and thousands of people died the politicians get away with paying 5Lakh compensation from the taxes they collected from the common man themselves!
Sick and tired of some old doctors talking about previous ‘quality’ of MBBS doctors and no attendance when they themselves never undertook any effort whatsoever to teach the next generation repeating the same 20 year old ppt
If you smell shit everywhere - maybe it’s on your shoe.
A doctor dies while treating a known criminal and Health minister blames the doctor.
Trust this country to put doctors below criminals too.
#MartyrVandana
I know PG is important but remember- you’re MBBS 1/2/3rd year students.
Not NEET PG aspirants the day you enter college.
Enjoy MBBS - probably the best days of your life!
On one hand, we celebrate IITians getting 1Cr packages, and if few doctors who do manage to earn well - that too they are well into their 40/50's- we demonize them.
Hypocrisy much?
Since normalising everything is the current trend let’s normalise one thing that should have been long ago.
Let’s normalise being kind and not being an ass in general. Especially To our juniors in medicine.
Small acts of kindness goes a long way. Simply not being a jerk is fine
No one killed Jessica.
No rape/murder happened.
Was ‘found dead’
Principal will blame the PG student
Residents will keep slogging for 48 hours.
We will forget it after a week or so since she wasn’t a relative/close one.
Every doctor in 40s/50s here on Twitter doesn’t leave a single chance to brag about their clinic/their patients/their surgeries/papers and what not
If a resident doctor posts about working on 31st and tries to find social validation- they have issues.
Hypocrites of highest order
My mom keeps on saying how she never got to meet dad in his last days because she herself had COVID.
I was one of the few lucky ones who met him regularly. Every 3-4 hours - a privilege only because I’m myself a doctor.
But that should not be the case.
I treat cancer on a regular basis.
More children die of the scourge called rabies than childhood cancer due to fake dog lover with no skin in the game.
You all will shit your pants to manage a rabies patient but will bark all day long.
It pains and saddens me that in 2021, a time of iPhones, android and various apps , I still have to ‘prove’ that my father passed away to bank officials/insurance companies and a host of other bureaucratic processes in person.
Theoretical knowledge is as important as practical and requires availability of time during residency.
People believe higher case load makes you skilled is the biggest bullshit I hear to justify toxic work culture. If such was the case - no doctor in US/UK would be skilled.
A long thread
It’s 3AM. I get a call from emergency - a 3y female with suspected acute leukaemia. It has been 20 hr since i have been awake. I rush to Peds Em after taking care of a ASCT patient mounting fever with chills and asking the em doc to do CBC/TLS and start on IVF(1/n)
My father always wore a N95.
Still got COVID. Because it’s N95, not N100. I’m sure some person infront of him didn’t wear his/her mask.
Because we all had become lazy.
So for the nth time - wear a damn mask!
Current salary after 3 years - still 80,000/month.
26 now.
Any profession with my intelligence(it's not being arrogant when it's true) I would be earning much much more.
But I just have intelligence, I'm not intelligent.
Coach no. C6. If anyone has the authority please take some action. Buffoons like him are making us lose the fight against covid.
@PiyushGoyal
.
Can anyone tell me how to tag Railways and police?
Pilots around the world have strict ‘Rest’ guidelines.
Since lives depend on them being rested.
Number of working hours/days off etc.
Such logical steps are seen as sign of weakness in Medical community.
A single Sunday off tends to make Most Faculty feel uneasy.
The hospital bills people so frequently complain about - well - they are exactly that - 'hospital' Bills. Doctors earn shit. Then why are we in this profession? Because we love it! That's it.
In Aug 2019, AIIMS Delhi Residents went on a strike for around 3/4 days against formation of NMC
We had rightfully predicted what a disaster this would be.
I don’t want to get into Budget but the amount of people who think themselves as middle class is insane.
People really need to visit a gov hospital to realise how freaking poor (and shithole) the country is. Saw a tweet with someone having lift in house and calling middle class
A wrong done over centuries doesn’t make it right.
Also the training part is the most nonsense thing I heard.
Do US/UK produce incompetent surgeons?
Sure they too work for ~80h/week but never for 5 days straight with no food and definitely not this kind of torture.
Unpopular opinion
It's not neet pg rank
It's training like these what will make you surgeon.
Surgery unlike other branches requires a certain amount of physical and mental endurance.
If you are finding residency toxic then trust me life after residency is even more toxic.
We doctors should stop stop justyifjng our salaries.
Doctors should be highly paid.
Period.
The duty if healthcare is not of doctors but Government.
If you can’t visit a govt hospital due to queue/poor hygiene etc etc
Question govt.
not the doctor who is private citizen.
It’s professional fees.
It’s justified.
Period.
Actors charge ₹50Cr / Lawyers 50L to Crore per hearing.
I won’t even go into how the actual money reaching doctor might be to the tune of 10% of cost of surgery and the actual economics of health care.
If colleges didn’t have mandatory attendance- that itself would have been a reality check and feedback for many professors when students would have attended classes of only good teachers and skipped those who read PowerPoints in the guise of teaching.
1. Gold Necklaces
2. Sarees
3. Food
4. Diamonds
5. TVs
6. Designer bags
When everything is given - finally the resident pays with his/her life.
We are monsters.
The fees to leave residency approaches 50L.
There is usually 1-3 year state bond post Residency.
36 hour shifts.
Constant threat of Failing/thesis by monstrous HOD etc.
Threat of violence.
No place to eat/sleep or shit.
Residency is SLAVERY.
I turned into a resident doctor in 2018. 23 years of age.
Salary - 70,000/month. Only because it's AIIMS. Worse - around 30-40k/Month in most states.
Work involved - 100hr/week - again the norm - not an exception.
2 months into the second wave - I have not seen a single politician make a claim regarding building any news hospital or investing into healthcare infrastructure.
One even wants to buy Coronil from public funds.
Bottom line - their buck stops at their chair.
I have nothing against this individual. Multiple people flout this daily. But to say Gaand mar looomga when asked to follow a simple law - that too to my mom in a train.
@arunbothra
@BDUTT
Dream branch is a myth as big as Aish hi Aish.
Our choices are determined/extremely influenced by people are around us/coaching etc
Very Normal to proclaim XYZ to be the Dream branch and take Radio if you get rank. The only dream everyone has is more money/less energy/stability
The fucker and his audacity.
Your own bio says RT and likes are not endorsement.
She literally posted screenshots from Reddit available publicly.
You guys hounded her.
I agree to the misinformation part but don’t act holier than thou.
I’empathise’
No you don’t. You’re a jerk
I empathize with your concerns but please be responsible with the information you are sharing!
Let us ask the tough questions to Govt, Police, CBI but without spreading Conspiracy Theories which have the potential to hamper the Investigation.
This office memorandum is circulated every damn time AIIMS residents decide to go on strike barring the change in date/registrar sign.
The hypocrisy in the memorandum lies in the fact that it talks about so called right to life.
Right to life for everyone except Doctors.
My grandfather too died from COVID-19. He collapsed suddenly. This is the second death in my family in less than a week.
If this doesn’t scare you and propels you to take the vaccine or mask up - nothing will!
Get vaccinated ASAP.
Despite working in a government hospital and always writing generic - everyone has seen the difference in quality between the branded medicines and generic ones.
Even for drugs like Amoxiclav - We are more comfortable writing Augmentin than something else.
I’m done. I seriously am. I don’t know how to say this but I feel so fucking numb and want to end everything.
People walking around with no masks makes me so furious. Like you all are bloody murderers. You - every single one of you not wearing a mask- killed my father.
Anyone who doubts whether or not I work since I am able to post YT videos is most welcome to spend one day with me.
Maybe you’ll learn a thing or two about treating your juniors and how to be a human in first place.
When was the last time NEET PG happened without a controversy?
2020
When was NMC created?
2020
Cure is worse than disease- nothing exemplifies this better than NMC replacing MCI.
The internship fiasco simply shows that those running the show have no idea about ground reality
While I have single digit ranks over the year in many competitive exams, all I remember is what a senior told me when I joined AIIMS.
You might be AIR whatever this year. Some1 will be next year. Some1 was last yr. Don’t hang on to that achievement. It’s as useless as a number.
You gasp for breath.
You body has lost control.
You can’t have water as your throat clasps at the sound/sight of it.
You seize, you heart rate goes upsthen down due to the autonomic dysfunction.
You shit your pants/pee due to the same.
Parents ask for help/all you say is sorry
Is it offline Marrow ?
Is it offline Prepladder?
Is it offline Unacademy?
No- it’s Cerebellum!
Intrigued by the concept and the highly renowned faculty!
Can any faculty explain a bit more in detail?
Someone who actively refused to go to USA Despite having every opportunity to do so.
I went to US for a RE at Hopkins and felt way more at peace in India(Family/Social ties/status etc)
But most days these days - I question my choice - whether it was right or wrong.
Everyone in medical community will talk about mental health right now but when a resident/student asks for a break - they will be told to not be a cry baby/ not be lazy/ not use mental health as an excuse or learn from our parent’s generation. We are a bunch of hypocrites.
#UPDATE
| Divya Yadav (19), a first-year student of Maulana Azad Medical College who was found hanging from the ceiling of her hostel, was in depression after failing in two papers. Her body has been handed over to her father: Delhi Police
Why is everyone suddenly shouting when Wagh Bagri chairman died due to stray dog menace.
Isn’t the life of thousands of small children who die daily due to the same worthy of the same outrage or only when rich people die due to strays that it’s an issue for the rest.
Similarities post NEET PG 2022 and 2023
‘People coming on Twitter to rant how they couldn’t revise the humongous notes and how those thousands s of hours of videos are useless’
Don’t be in FOMO
First Aid + PYQ + concise notes for 3/4th proff and revision in last 7 days.
I remember a child with ALL treated with Ayurveda coming to casualty and succumbing in less than 6 hours.
The parents kept on saying - please forgive us - we were misguided by our relatives towards Ayurveda.
ALL has cure rates ~ 90%
Whose fault ?
Ans - The casualty doctor.
In this country - for something to be news worthy - the person who died either has to be belonging to minority or the perpetrators should be belong to opposite camp etc
Unfortunately AshokPal was neither.
ek MBBS studnet mar Gya toh kya hua.
