Speaking of Ayurvedic doctors & modern Surgery

Both doctors have degrees in Ayurvedic Medicine. While charging them for culpable homicide prosecution also argued that the 2 doctors did not have requisite education & training to perform these procedures indianexpress.com/article/cities…
Both doctors have degrees in Ayurvedic Medicine. While Shimpi has a BAMS degree, Deshpande has a BAMS degree with a MS in Ayurveda Shalyatantra
In its judgment, the court observed that the main dispute was whether the two accused possess the requisite educational qualification for performing gynaecological surgery, including the cesarean operation and tubectomy, as per government norms,
whether proper pre-operative and post-operative care was taken and whether the death was caused by post-partum complications.

I don't know who this person is.
But I've noticed her really problematic "hot takes" popping up on my timeline last few weeks thanks to some lovely mutuals

This seems to be her latest one. 🤦🏽‍♂️

A thread
First thing that popped in my head was this was exactly the though I had in my head back when I was much younger and single and more importantly ABSOLUTELY IGNORANT about this issue.

Was only after I had spoken to some survivors/victims of partner abuse I realized the truth
The truth is it is never so black and white. Psychologists can give you so many fancy sounding words like "Stockholm syndrome" or "battered spouse syndrome" etc to explain it.

But just a quick google search of "why do victims stay with their abuser?" Will yield 100s of results

I tweeted this earlier today before my shift just after
I had read the thread. A mutual had DMed it to me. I was debating how best to respond to it. The problem with such a "fact check" if we can call it that is how to avoid attacking the messenger instead of the message itself.
But the more I thought about it the more I realized the messenger needs to be talked about as well.

Because...

Credibility

That's what it all comes down to

In the age of misinformation, the credibility of certain people is higher than others and with that comes responsibility
When someone with a famous name, or 10s of thousands of followers on social media, or someone with a "Dr." in their name posts something there is an inherent in built credibility to that message

I too enjoy that privilege I won't deny that.

Extremely irresponsible reporting.
If I can even call this reporting.
Seems more like a hit job.
Especially now in time of pandemic
All this kind of reporting does is fester panic and mistrust to the modern medical profession.
The cost figures mentioned make absolutely no sense.
Of you would bear with me I would like to go point by point and ask a few questions about her "figures"
These are some of the TOP most expensive more luxurious private hospitals.
Notice the second hospital? That's right! that's where Amitabh Bachchan and family were admitted.
Private hospitals are profit making no denying but just like hotels you get regular hospitals to 5* level.

For those of you who don't understand why so many of us medicos are questioning the drug Itolizumab the company Biocon and Ms. Kiran Shaw let me explain.

Issue 1. This drug is approved for psoriasis in India.
It is STILL NOT approved in USA for the same.

Ironically she happily quotes USFDA protocols for restricted emergency approval when her drug has not been approved for the original use there 🤷‍♂️

Shouldn't that make you wonder
Issue 2. They claim this drug showed "encouraging results in covid19 patients"
The "test" involved 30 patients. The drug helped with some symptoms but no change in mortality (death due to disease) was seen in the calculations
Also too small sample

Shouldn't that make you wonder?

Any comments on this X Ray?
#MedTwitter
#FOAMed #FOAMrad
thank you everyone for your responses

the objective of me sharing this xray was perfectly illustrated by the responses

notice how we got responses as "perfectly normal x ray" all the way to "covid 19"?

This was a patient i saw yesterday and the experience left a bitter taste
hence i thought i would talk about this

something which is affect us all in one way or another

This is the perfect time to talk about MEDICAL JOUSTING

I've seen a lot of people asking this question. It is a valid question & shouldn't be dismissed outright. However the answer to this is a little nuanced than straight forward. If you have a few minutes allow me to explain. I hope I don't step on any toes

Let me start with the obvious
Ask yourself,
Honestly

Do you trust government institutions...
REGARDLESS of who the government of the day is?

If you are sick and can afford it, would you go to a Government Hospital or a Private hospital?

So it all boils down to TRUST DEFICIT
When you already have a trust deficit, add to the mix political, social, religious and cultural agendas...

What are you left with?

Let us put aside all that for now
Let us accept a few things
