@Gautaamm

@Gautaamm @aparanjape @ngkabra @anandesh @ksprashant @Girbane @neeran @MCCIA_Pune I'll reply from the perspective of being a co-founder who's been involved in building, deploying & developing an EHR for outpatient medical practice (@slashdr) for the last 5+ yrs.

When we started back in 2014-15, we were well aware that dentistry was primed for such a product.

@Gautaamm

@Gautaamm @aparanjape @ngkabra @anandesh @ksprashant @Girbane @neeran @MCCIA_Pune @slashdr We chose to stick to the medical OP side because the co-founders had the most experience in that side.

Knowing how our product has evolved, we are well aware now that we can deploy this to outpatient dental practices after building in the necessary features.

@Gautaamm

@Gautaamm @aparanjape @ngkabra @anandesh @ksprashant @Girbane @neeran @MCCIA_Pune @slashdr Coming to the points that you raised, when we initially started approaching doctors, one of the most important points of resistance that we met was similar to the one that you mentioned in your first few tweets. That of a software vendor selling out to big corporate chains.

Listen to the most recent episode of our podcast: LTH E3 – Telemedicine anchor.fm/letstalkhealth…

I'm sharing a partial transcript of this LTH podcast episode of as a thread here.

1. During the ongoing COVID epidemic & nationwide lockdown, many doctors are doing Teleconsultation. Is it legal?
Yes. MCI/BOG has approved & given specific guidelines for practising telemedicine.

2. What are the modes of teleconsultation allowed?

Phone calls, email, text messaging, WhatsApp and other similar platforms, video call etc with different level of permissions for each mode.

If there's one thing that I wish will change after this #Covid19India #lockdown, I hope it's the Indian tradition of visiting a patient admitted in a hospital. This has, over the years, become a specific kind of social norm, at least in our part of the country.

Patients, and, more often, the patient's immediate family members, are offended if all the relatives that they consider are "close," do not visit in the hospital when they are admitted - for whatever reason.

This "visiting a sick relative in the hospital" is a ritual that has acquired a definite social standing.
There are some compulsory steps that have to be followed:
1) You most often have to fight with the hospital security people to violate visiting hours.
2) Bring some fruits.

There are many in the media and social media who are questioning #TamilNadu government's response to #Covid19India, especially with respect to the low numbers of testing for #coronavirus. There are unfavourable comparisons to other states who have performed more tests.

There is an opinion expressed by knowledgeable public health experts that since the percentage of positive cases identified by the states doing extensive community-level testing is not very big, there may be no big benefit in doing such extensive and expensive testing nationwide.

I work in a private sector multispeciality hospital. We are one of the hospitals that our district health authorities had designated in the city to be prepared with isolation ward for potential #COVID19 patients very early in the epidemic when our state had single-digit numbers.

இது எல்லோருக்கும் பொருந்தும்ன்னு சொல்லலை, ஆனா அண்ணன்மார் @AmmU_MaanU @akaasi மற்றும் என்னைப் போன்ற படித்த நகர்ப்புற பெற்றோருக்கும் @Rasanai போன்ற வெளிநாட்டில் வசிக்கும் வசதியான இந்திய பெற்றோருக்கும் கண்டிப்பாகப் பொருந்தும்.

பொறுப்பான இந்தியப் பெற்றோர்ன்னா பிள்ளைகளை எப்பாடு பட்டாவது நல்லா படிக்க வைக்கணும் டாக்டர் / என்ஜினீயர் ஆக்கிடணும்ங்கற மனப்பான்மையோடவே வளர்ந்துட்டோம். இந்த ரெண்டு துறை இல்லாட்டியும் குறைந்தபட்சம் நல்ல வேலைவாய்ப்பு கிடைக்கும் அளவுக்கு படிக்கவைக்க பாடுபடுவோம்.

A thread on Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons with information that I got from a classmate who is—or, to be more precise was a former—Fellow of the RCS of UK.

I hope it will be of use at least to South Asian doctors who aim to be Fellows.

This is the inside story for doctors, especially in India (and other South Asian countries) who have been fooled into believing that FRCS is one of the highest degrees.

#meded #FRCS #RCS #UK 🇮🇳

There are 4 Royal Colleges of Surgeons. RCS of England, RCS of Edinburgh, RCS of Glasgow and RCS of Ireland. All 4 are completely independent of each other. Of the 4 the most respected and popular among UK doctors are England and Ireland as they are the toughest to get into.
