So important for both healthcare practitioners and patients to understand and accept the benefits of pain relief.

There is no virtue in suffering pain when modern medicines exist that can relieve that pain. Just like there is no virtue in suffering an angina pain when medicines exist to tackle that pain.

Time-honoured, but sadly not the best either for patient or the resident doctor. Nobility, sacrifice, hero-god-tags have been ways of refusing to address reform, which requires a much larger overhaul that would require a lot more public spending on health care & med education

The cliff on which the #healthcare system in India is built—in both public+private world—would crumble if we downplay the role of #ResidentsDoctors . They are the ones who fight sleep deprivation, a time-honored tradition in medicine, to save lives in the most adverse conditions.

@kamdar_j I'm just horrified reading this. I'm horrified bcos I'm certain that this isn't part of any attempt to build empathy for patients, it is a breaking-in tradition. What have we become as a medical community? How did we get here? Stamping out humanity in young doctors

@jmugele That used to happen to be during long procedures with double layers for HIV + TB especially if the OT air conditioning wasn't on full blast. My team got really good at recognising when to slide a seat under me so I'd catch my fall. Then I learnt how to prehydrate& binge on salt

This must be a top priority. Those of us who witnessed the first time H1N1 pneumonia hit India remember how hard it hit young pregnant women. Last year, we didn't see pregnant women affected to this degree. This time it's worse. We must be proactive with FOGSI #VaccinesSaveLives

India must move quickly, 100 mln lives will be affected in 2021 @MoHFW_INDIA has right now put Pregnant women and Lactating mothers (PW & LM) on even lower priority than 18-44. FOGSI in India & CDC in the US are clearly in favor of prioritising PW & LM, & so has Brazil now👇🏾
