I actually responded to an in-flight emergency once. I am an Endocrinologist
Turns out the patient was diabetic and he was having hypoglycemia. Corrected the same, the patient was better.
Suggested a few changes to the medication for the patient
He lives in the same city

He is now on my regular follow-up. 🙂

This thread will tell you how Quackery works...
Step 1: Quacks understand the market needs. If patients find oncology treatment painful and expensive, they will 'create' a product for cancer. Quacks understand entrepreneurship
Step 2: Once the "area of need" is identified, quack delivers a product that is relatively cost-effective (and largely ineffective). It could be a mixture of "herbs", "natural product", some fancy-sounding "diet"

Karyotype must be offered to all women presenting with Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)
There is no age cut-off per se for ordering a karyotype in women with POI. In a study, more than 30% of women with abnormal karyotype were more than 30 years of age!
Additionally, when you order a karyotype in women, it is also imperative to order FISH to look for Cryptic Y chromosome material

It's not about what is legal and what is illegal. Everything that is 'legal' is not morally right and everything that is illegal is not morally wrong
It's about creating a system that fools thousands of young boys and girls to take up BHMS only to realize that there is little or no market for it when they finish the course
Many of these homeopathy colleges are owned and run by politicians or their cronies basically to fleece young people of money

10 Questions for the Honorable Health minister @drharshvardhan (A Thread)
Q1. The title of your video says "Release of scientific research paper" . Would like to see the research paper. Can you share the Pubmed link for the paper ?
Q2. The title of your video also says "1st Evidence based medicine for COVID19" . You mean everything we have used so far and because of which several lives were saved were not evidence based ? Only a medicine from @PypAyurved is evidence based ? If so please share the evidence.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but this is a strong personal view of mine. Consider this as a #Rant. Contd...
If you are a student of any sort and born after the 1980's , not having basic computer and technology skills is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Perhaps those born before the millennial generation can be excused since some skills are difficult to acquire after a certain age and need a certain background

Is your patient having persistently high TSH , despite increasing the dose of your thyroid medications ? The patient on the other hand is asymptomatic and the T4/Free T4 values are always normal. Contd..
High TSH despite adequate LT4 replacement is a common clinical issue that we deal with in Endocrinology and it is an area of several #ClinicalPearl threads
However today we focus on one such issue on possible reason for the problem. The reason is what is called a Heterophile antibody
