"Patient chennagiddaara saar?" (is the patient alright?) - asked my cab driver. I said yes, but how did he know? He said he had picked me up and dropped me before too, at odd hours and realized I'm a doctor.
#Humanity
Concern for fellow beings is what makes us human.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Most of the time I'm busy on my phone and writing up a thread on my return home trip in the cab. I've realized most of my tweets on acute heart attacks are written like that. The half hour well utilized.

The simple purpose is to create #health awareness and bust myths. More doctors across specialities should do it and only then mis-information can be eliminated successfully. #MedTwitter

Have a wonderful morning! Don't let my posts on heart attacks scare you too much! Knowledge is power.

Not to lose heart. Be positive.
1. Sit tight and prepare for entrance if you're interested in PG.
2. If interested in administration get into a MBA or MHA program at a good university - believe me.. You'll be in a very good position 10 years from now, even better than clinical… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

6. Rural service. If you're OK working in PHCs, there are several options. You can work for few years and then get PG through in-service.
7. Setting up a practice. Being a good GP has its advantages. But difficult to sustain in the long run without PG. Family practice DNB is not… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

You have one of the best degrees India offers. You can do many things. At every crux point, it is natural to feel lost. We've all been there. Even after becoming a consultant one feels it now and then. So be cool and think with a calm mind. All the best!

Lost my father after prolonged illness. Miss him every day.
Had to handle mother's serious health issues. Did her angioplasty myself after a heart attack. Later a fall and spine issues.
Saw my niece who was born in front of me finish her Masters from MIT and then get married!… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Realized friends are your strength and support system no matter how far and wide they maybe spread. Talking to a friend or chatting to them even briefly can greatly reduce stress levels! #friendship

Twitter became a source of dissipating health information and education which is a favorite thing for me to do. Grew a good number of followers over the last 3 years. #heartattack , #cardiacarrest, #prevention of heart disease being the major topics. Hoping to make a difference!

A survivor of #cardiacarrest. 61y old guy. Post angioplasty and stenting, May, 2022. He said..
"I want to make sure I don't get into trouble again Dr! I've seen how much stress you and your team were under when I was on Cath lab table to save my life" #MedTwitter #HeartAttack

When a patient comes in with heart attack and cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock, the entire cardiac team is put into test. Reviving the patient, talking and explaining to relatives, quickly shifting to cath lab, doing an emergency angiogram and angioplasty. Making sure the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Despite all valiant efforts, both cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock have poor survival. Out of hospital cardiac arrests have the worst outcome. Hence the need to learn #CPR with which atleast some people can be saved.
