Not just pvt colleges are commercializing medical education, some state govts too have joined the bandwagon in the name of making colleges self-financing. So, 3%-15% seats are set aside for NRIs and some even have “management quotas”.
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Governme…
Most states claim the quota is to mobilise funds for maintenance and infrastructure, something that would earlier have come from the health budget.
Govt colleges are meant for public welfare, for poor to get free treatment and for meritorious students. They are not meant to make money. Free education is govt’s job in a democratic welfare state- says former DME of Madhya Pradesh about MP ending NRI quota

-25 marks, several zero and single digit mark scorers now doing MBBS. This is the MERIT-BASED admission that NEET claims to have achieved?
Neither Medical Counselling Committee nor Medical Council of India make the NEET score, rank, percentile and individual subject marks scored by students admitted each year public for fear of this farce being exposed. Why not publish this data every year?
Elementary maths shows that a person marking answers at random is likely to end up with about one-fourth of answers right and the other three-fourths wrong. That means a score of about 10 out of 180 (11x4 for the right answers minus 34 for the wrong ones).

I listen to ~90 #Podcasts on a (semi) regular basis. Let me give you a rundown of ALL of them and why you should listen to some amazing #FOAMed, especially for all the new #EmergencyMedicine interns. #FOAMed #MedEd #medtwitter
First of all, you need a good podcast app. I absolutely love Downcast. Great app, gives you more control over playback, downloading, and allows you to categorize your podcasts into playlists (picture 2). This is where you get to customize your #FOAMed experience! #medtwitter
In no particular order,

- Anesthesia and Critical Care Reviews and Commentary (ACCRAC). Great insight into Crit Care from an anesthesia perspective. Coming from EM, this is great to listen to- much different from my day-to-day! #FOAMed #FOAMcc #CriticalCare

Educate, Agitate, Organise -கற்பி, கிளர்ந்தெழு, அமைப்பாய் திரள் என்பது அம்பேத்கர் கூற்று.

கல்வி சிந்திக்க வைக்கும், சிந்தனை பகுத்தறியத் தூண்டும். இதன் விளைவாக 1/N
நல்லதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளவும், தீயதை நிராகரிக்கவும் மக்கள் முற்படுவார்கள்.
சமூக அநீதிகளை கண்டு கிளர்ந்தெழுவார்கள், அக்கிளர்ச்சி ஒருவரை தத்துவ தேடலுக்கு இட்டு செல்லும், அத்தத்துவம் அமைப்பாய் திரள வர்க்கப்பார்வையை தரும்.
அதன் அடிப்படையில் நடக்கும் போராட்டங்களே சமூக விடுதலைக்கான, சமத்துவ வாழ்விற்கான தீர்வை தரும்.

2014-2019 வரை இந்தியாவில் கல்வி என்பது சந்தை பொருளாக உள்ளது. சந்தையில் கல்வி ஒரு விற்பனை பொருள் அதாவது சரக்கு. அதை பெற வருவோர் நுகர்வோர்.

"In 2018, teacher strikes in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Colorado raised the profile of deteriorating teacher pay as a critical public policy issue."
"Teachers, students, parents, and community supporters protested cutbacks in public education spending and a squeeze on teacher pay that have persisted well into the economic recovery from the Great Recession."

What’s a Map of the Soul? Mentioned by Jin in 1 of the HYYH Notes & a
part of Murray Stein’s title of his book (Jung’s Map of the Soul), it appears to be a relevant term in the BU.

The “Soul” meant in this term, though, seems different. +
+The book Jung’s Map of the Soul, w/c is officially sold in BigHit shop, is a book about Jung’s psychoanalytic concepts & theory. In this book, the word “Psyche” is often used & for good reason—it comes from the Greek word ‘psychē’ w/c means SOUL. Psyche/Psique also means mind+

In Latin, ANIMA means “soul” while ANIMUS means “spirit.” Both are used interchangeably to mean “inner world of persons” acc to+

I'd like to offer an alternative perspective on the world of Anna and Elsa in @Disney's "Frozen:"

Elsa was a leper, and a traumatic brain injury suffered as a child led Anna to experience a fanciful world divorced from reality.

A #PublicHealth thread: (Ping @Surgeon_General)
Arendelle is beautiful, +almost certainly represents Norway in the mid-1800s. Opposite to the rest of Northern Europe, leprosy was prevalent-indeed, rampant-in Norway well into the mid-19th Century. In 1816, Norwegian leprosariums were called "graveyards for the living."
Confined to her room all day, covered from head-to-toe with long robes and forbidden to touch anything without wearing her gloves, it's no stretch to imagine that young Princess Elsa was stricken at a young age with this disease that raged across the Norwegian countryside.
