"Level Boarding = Level Playing Field.
Anything less and it's not PUBLIC transport.
#BusKaro excuses!"
For 15+ years now, India's disabled citizens have been advocating for public transport that actually includes ALL.
All these years wheelchair users heard the same tired excuses Illustration from MoHUA transport Conference in 2021 called
@armanaly @NPRD_IN @drsitu @SCVashishth @vjayakumar @RajivSpeaks @Shampa_Sengupta @Deepak_TMN @SUMNetIndia ... Roads and Monsoons (And Money... And other conveniently selective 3rd world excuses from the Land of Chandrayaan)

In 15 years India's space odyssey has witnessed 2 missions to the moon, 1 to Mars with 2022 promising Chandrayaan 3, Aditya and prep for Mars 2 and Venus in 2024 Image of a woman on crutches crawling onto a high floor bus
Yet (as the pic above showed) Fathima still laboriously boards a bus on crutches. She has to crawl up the steps of the ubiquitous Indian high floor bus.

Yet, Fathima's 'lucky', at least she gets to somehow use public transport unlike India's wheelchair users under house arrest

1/9 I have purchased a car very recently. So, I went through the usual motions of a large and involved purchase at the time of my decision. This might also give you an insight into the auto sector slowdown #AutoSector #SlowDown #Economyslowdown #economy
2/9 Clean fuel vehicles are coming: Hydrogen fuel cell, & #ElectricVehicles (#BEV & #PHEV) are coming sooner than we thought. Govt envisions an electric mobility future for us & is taking a lot of steps to push EVs under #FAME2 scheme. To reduce pollution & fuel import bill.
3/9 If I buy a regular petrol/diesel car, it may get obsolete sooner than I imagined. Eg: NCR banned 10yr old #diesel vehicles to improve air quality, push towards electric. All this affects resale value of the #cars. Hence, I considered pushing the life of my current car

Lots of headlines @escardio re CT-FFR. 1 of most prominent is ADVANCE multicenter registry from @manesh_patelMD & colleagues using @HeartFlow. I'd like to dissect this a bit to see how excitement in a field combined with lots of industry funding can blind us to basic problems.
Team worked across 38 international sites over >2 years to collect data from N=5083 patients w/ “symptoms concerning for CAD”. They had primary endpoint of change in management plan from coronary CTA. That happened in 67% of patients. Most impressive.
Is this a valid endpoint? I contend that this is a measurement of physician psychology rather than of anything objective.

Did it really take us 40 years to show #Angioplasty works for what it was invented for?
