In case, you don't know who she is --> this will remind you.

This is what stiff person syndrome is.

1) I have been on social media continuously since class 8 --> that was back in 2008.

I began with Orkut and I have tried everything from the usual suspects like Meta (FB), Twitter and Ig to Reddit, Snapchat, Twitch and recently Mastodon.

These are some observations I have made.
2) The man or woman who follows everyone and everything is not worth following.

Not everything/everybody is worth your time.
3) Don't expect/beg for followbacks

Its just very stupid.

Don't do it.

If you bring value to SM, you will get automatically get followers.

1) The simplest thing that you can do to improve your/your family's health?

Use Google Tasks or a similar service to schedule periodic health checkups like blood pressure/weight check or blood sugar testing (if you don't do SMBG).
2) All habits require a cue.

These regular reminders will be the cue --> without a proper timely cue --> you don't have a concrete plan --> you don't have a plan --> you don't check --> you don't check --> you don't assess your health.
3) You don't assess your health and you pay the price.

The beginning of any good habit/ practice is to schedule a cue.

The cue ensures a habit of continual assessment.

Remember --> if you don't measure something, you can't improve it.

A piece of history.

Everybody got it right.

The first word which @arshiet got partially correct is DHANUSHTANKAR ie ophisthotonus --> dhanu means bow and it refers to the person spasming into the shape of a bow.

The disease is tetanus as everybody has said!

Wear shoes and avoid pricks! Image
@arshiet This is the history of the Bata Corporation!

1) There are many books on clinical medicine and most of them are horrible.

Here is my curated list.

The first and most important book has to be Dr. Boloor's text.

Well written and compiled, it has all the little snippets that Indian examiners love.

Best Indian book imo. Image
2) The book for the discerning internist.

You will love this if you are into medical history.

This is not for beginners since it often delves deep into stuff that have little knowledge of, YET! Image
3) A trusty guide.

This is best oriented for UG students though.

It is small, handy and no nonsense but lacks the trivia and snippets that you need for Indian exams, like coin percussion amd whispering pectoriloquy. Image

What is the best physiology book for 1st year?

It this one in my humble opinion.

Crisp, sufficiently detailed with good diagrams and explanations for various phenomena --> this is my Grade A recommendation. Image
I have gone through Ganong, Guyton, Taylor and Boron & Boulpaep ---> those are NOT for beginners.

The Indian textbooks are okayish but the diagrams are pretty terrible.

That is where Lippincott wins hands down.
