For me, Twitter is a fun pastime!.(or a fast Pun time 😛). But, occasionally, I do come up with Tweets that might be of help to people, or just entertain them. 🤔. Here is a Thread🧵to Tie them all up in one place!.(Needle-less to say, the Tweets, not the people! 😂)

A long time ago, a rich family was on a pilgrimage, when one of the uncles began feeling uneasy, sweating profusely, was not able to speak properly and vomited out. The rickshaw driver turned the vehicle toward the nearest and best hospital he knew.

The most useless feature is ths "Berth Preference" in IRCTC site. Even if you are the first person to book, they will always allot the aisle seat/upper or middle berth to the young male.

🟪 For MBBS Newcomers 🟪. So you have been allotted an MBBS Seat and now you are on your journey to the incredible world of Medicine!.But no one's telling you what the journey is going to be like, where the stops are, and where it is that you are going?. Maybe this will help you.

No, Doctors don't get holidays. Unless one is a senior doctor, they do not have the luxury of a schedule of choice. That junior doctor you are judging for being slow on a fresh Monday morning probably spent the Sunday working a 24-hour shift, on emergency duty. #MedTwitter.

💟For Final Year MBBS Students💟.(And Anyone Else Interested in Medical Studies). ⏺️ Context.This is something I wrote during my internship, and then had forwarded it to around 3 subsequent junior batches. Now, because times are changing, everything cannot be relevant today.

@GabbbarSingh nothing awkward about it. in fact, in some families, the wife herself ties a special rakhi to her husband. because it is the essence of the concept of "protection and care" etc. and not "this thread prevents us from being lovers etc".

Doctors need to start having the habit of not talking about work/medicine wherever they go. Enjoy your picnic, watch the movie, and have a fulfilling meal without remembering patients, diseases and drugs.

How many doctors, MBBS and after, are able to do these:. - Insert IV cannula.- Intubate a patient.- Give CPCR (BLS/ACLS protocols).- Assess GCS and Pupillary reflex.- Check pulses and measure BP.- Do wound cleaning and dressings.- Suture a wound .- Auscultate chest.
3L per month revenue .1.8-2L per month profit .1200-1500 patients treated per month . FROM A CLINIC POST MBBS 👏👏👏

While having a cup of tea tonight, I was reminded of my internship days. I was posted in ObGy, and one night, after having our late night tea, I was heading over to sleep, while my co-intern took over after 2 hours of beauty sleep. I had just fallen into deep sleep when. .

"Stuff It Back In!". This happened with one of my colleagues a few years ago. It was an hour before midnight, a patient had come in emergency. It was an extradural haemorrhage, had to be taken immediately for surgery. Now, examining the patient in a casualty is a different thing.

Medical is an odd field. I inserted an IV cannula in the first attempt for an obese patient after multiple attempts of multiple people, and I got cheered on. An hour later I did a lifesaving procedure of putting in an emergency EVD for another patient, and no one bats and eyelid.
