People complain about broken healthcare, but ignore how their own actions break it, e.g. , bypassing primary health centers for minor ailments or delaying routine care inadvertently strains major hospitals, diverting critical attention from patients in urgent need of tertiary care; self-medication and antibiotic abuse accelerates antimicrobial resistance, making infections harder and more expensive to treat later; people don’t drop habits known for poor health. Any functioning system requires individual accountability, not just public spending. #primarycare #Accountability #Doctor #Antibiotic @MoHFW_INDIA @aiims_newdelhi

रूमेटाइड आर्थराइटिस एक ऑटोइम्यून बीमारी है । समय पर , सही दवाई की सही डोज़ से और सही समय तक इलाज , इसे पूरी तरह नियंत्रित रखता है । वरना, विकलांगता के अलावा , मधुमेह , उच्च रक्तचाप , हार्ट अटैक , सांस की बीमारी , मानसिक बीमारी इत्यादि का खतरा कई गुना बाद जाता है । @PIBHindi #आर्थराइटिस @ANI @airnewsalerts

In 2014, people wondered why I proposed hiring Occupational Therapists. Today, they are vital to our #Rheumatology team at @aiims_newdelhi . Ever wonder about the difference between a Physiotherapist and an Occupational Therapist? 🤔 #Physiotherapist fixes the engine (focuses on movement restoring, strength, mobility & pain relief) #OccupationalTherapist helps you drive the car (focuses on function helping to do daily activities independently ). Glimpses from the workshop on splinting organised by our department OTs( Mr Rajesh, Ms Shailendri, Mr Lincon , Ms Deeksha and physiotherapist Mr Anurag. Excitement amongst participants was palpable.

I had the honour of presenting a copy of my newly released book to my teacher, Prof. Rohini Handa- a renowned rheumatologist, distinguished academician, and an inspiring mentor. Since 1996, when I joined @aiims_newdelhi as a resident, his guidance, wisdom, and mentorship have shaped my professional journey. #Rheumatology @JaypeeBrother @

Screening for neuropsychometric balance is extremely important to ensure that the minds driving organization are not just sharp, but safe. Weaponised intellect is an Institutional liability . A highly intelligent Machiavellian gaslighter uses his intellect to inflict deep psychological damage while maintaining a flawless public reputation.
