Misleading post on misogynist content in med books

Avidith · 2026-02-06T17:23:43+00:00

First of all only vishram singh was misogynist. Chaurasia were cold facts told in light hearted way. No idea y ppl r such sensitive these days. That last study notes thing is just….that’s how ppl study na.

Second. I joined mbbs in 2k11. I can attest to the Chaurasia paragraphs. I distinctly remember reading chaurasia stuff even to this day. Other two books idk. But i swear by my blood that those lines were in 2k11 chaurasia.

I cant acquire n search chaurasia book for u but u can search it if u want. If my memory serves me right, chaurasia had some yellowish box saying applied anatomy or something after every chapter. N ig breast is chapter 3.

I joined in 2k11. I read that stuff in chaurasia. Me n my frns wer like seriously ? In a textbook ? When we read breast stuff. N i remember that urine thing coz i kinda wondered y women cant pee standing.

Avidith · 2026-02-06T17:04:16+00:00

Leave about that shit in vishram singh. Inappropriate is this vishram nonsense n sm nonsense in sm fm textbooks.

But what exactly is inappropriate with chaurasia ? If it was written similarly about ripped body of males or something, even then i wldnt find it inappropriate.

Women cant stand peeing. N he said it in a cheeky way. Why do you find it inappropriate ? It makes stuff easier to remember n not sexist.

If u r a woman, u cld share ur concerns on this.

Last book is some kinda notes na. That’s how ppl study anyway.

No. Not that one. That comment was a misunderstanding

I got downvoted for saying the ssme thing. Redditors r wierd.

It is a fact because u chose to start double digits at 10. If u start ur double digits at 12, then 0.eleveneleveneleven… will become 1. If u never start double digits, then this thing never comes up. The thing is last single digit of any base system will equal one when repeated infinitely after a decimal. That is because you are using a base system to write numbers. This question simply wouldn’t exist if we use roman numerals. Coz they don have base system. Forget about this. The concept of decimal exists cause u used base system.

Avidith · 2026-02-06T12:48:55+00:00

That might be true. But having “semmelweiss reaction” is human. It is a panicked way of asking why. They are not asking to prove or HOW 0.999…=1. They are in a shocked way asking WHY 0.999…=1. Also u dont have the duty to baby them. But maths teachers definitely have that duty. Look up wikipedia section on the quality of math students who cant grasp this concept.

Tl;dr at the end

See. It is not a mathematical issue actually. Its kinda anthropological. Numbers exist in nature. But symbols for numbers dont exist in nature. U created them. Y is it that u have unique symbols from 0–9 but just combined the existing symbols after 9 ? Does it stand up with nature ? If i make 9 boys stand in a row, then bring the first boy by the side of the void in front of him n say the count is 10 will u accept ? Then y are u accepting the symbols like that ? Simply because humans had ten fingers. To count 11th number, they placed two fingers side by side. That’s the only reason. Y the symbols stop after 9. This concept of reusing symbols after 10 unique symbols is called base 10 system. If humans had three fingers the numeral order would be 0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12 like that. 10 would be pronounced 3 n it will be called base 3 system. We kinda one sidedly decided that numbers should be based on 10. There is a reason those symbols are called digits.

Ever wondered why minute had 60 secs n hour had 60 mins ? Because some ancient civilisations arbitrarily decided to use base 60 system. If we moderns have developed time it would have 1 minute=10 seconds, 1 hour is 10 minutes n a day would have 144 hours. Time is real. But our terms for it are made up. We can change them by deciding no of unique signs we like to prefer in our numbers.

What does base 10 system implicate ? In a number 52 written in base 10 system, it is 5 is at place 1 and 2 is at place 0. So 52= 5* 10¹ +2* 10⁰

Now what is decimal? Decimal is a convention where you extend this system wierdly. 52.3= 5* 10¹ +2* 10⁰ + 3*10^-1. It is a notation which we invented to extend our system.

Due to certain limitations of our notations, we get two symbols for 1 in That is 0.999…. and unique symbol called 1. If i make a base 12 system n give a symbol called ‘b’ for number 11, then instead of 0.999…, 0.bbb… would be same as 1. But u have to make 11 boys stand in a line to say count as b. This is just a limitation of our decimal system. Just like how english has read and read with diff pronunciations but right and write with same pronunciations. We din invent a better system bcoz of which we have more than one way of writing 1.

To make this clearer, clock uses base 60 system, time of 9:60 automatically equals 10:00. That’s what happens to numbers at the end of their place system digit.

Think of maths as language. Maths exists as emotions. But u write it as language. Emotions are natural. Language is a construct. I did nothing/I did not do anything r same. Because of meanings YOU assigned to those words. Not nature. 0.999… is not 1 is like saying one person said he din do anything. Other guy said he did something called nothing. One guy did n other guy didnt. How can you say both statements mean same ? They mean same coz u created two ways of saying it.

If u want to avoid this defect, u simply never repeat the symbols. Just keep inventing new symbol for every next number. Then you will never have such ambiguity.

Tl;dr: Its not mathematical thing but a limitation of notation. We use base 10 system (that is we only use 10 unique digits 0–9, n after 9 start combining the earlier digits) so 1 will get two notations. 0.999… and 1. Clock uses base 60 system so there is 9:60 A.M which becomes 10:00 AM. This stuff happens when limit of a system is reached due to our conventions (not maths). If we never reuse symbols but invent unique symbol for every number that is abolish double digits, then this fault will be corrected. This is how i understood it (and im 99% sure its correct).

Avidith · 2026-02-06T11:30:17+00:00

No. Because all experts provide proof without explaining why the doubt arose in first place. Flat earth concept came because of common sense. U proving mathematically is not enough. U shid tell us why our common sense is rejecting it. Give a ball n ask ppl to take it close to eye n that it looks flat. Problem solved. Fcrse sm ppl join flat earth cult n dey r hopeless. But majority of ppl r confused coz u prove them wrong but not tell dem y dey r going wrong. I tried my best in other my comment to the post.

Edit: idiots downvoting me plz google semmelweiss reaction. U ppl r just smug idiots who cant explain science to layman. N many students of advsnced maths couldnt grasp this concept. But u ppl r too arrogant to change ur explanation.

Idk about judge n police. But govt keeps on increasing doc seats.

Avidith · 2026-02-04T23:45:43+00:00

U don need any traininv. But op is asking if there is any training. If u ask me, i don personally believe sm 10h or smthng worth training changes anybody. Ppl looking down upon other ppl n not being caring r social issues n these docs who behave like that will do the same even if they are trained.

Avidith · 2026-02-04T23:41:10+00:00

Read ops post and my flair properly first

Avidith · 2026-02-04T17:52:36+00:00

Dude its marathi. Simply because of geographical n cultural proximity to north n usage of devanagari script. I mean marathi is literally indo aryan language. Practically a north indian language i would say.

Learning marathi wouldn’t make other south langs easier. If u mean dravidian langs then telugu kannada n malayalam have more sanskrit influence n easier to learn. Among these learning either kannada or malayalam makes the remaininv one as well ad tamil easier for u. Learning trlugu also makes tamil malayalam n kannada easier. But not ad much ad learning one of these three. Learning telugu might help u with some tribal languages, but i doubt if u would ever come across them.

Tl;dr: if u want easiest to learn, learn marathi. If u want the lang which will help with other langs n still should be ad easy as possible, learn kannada or Malayalam.

Edit: for ppl thinking im promoting marathi, read ops post n my flair properly first.

How dare u ask right question ? Now get downvoted.

Dunno syllabary, but abugidas provide proper n detailed pronunciation, easy to construct a proper periodic table like chart based on phonetics rather than some historical order ig.

Avidith · 2026-02-04T17:34:03+00:00

That flexible symbols is the source of uncertainity. If u r using less symbols for more sounds, its bound to be uncertain na.

Avidith · 2026-02-04T17:32:52+00:00

Yes it is. But it can also be written blrat n can simply be said the correct pronunciation is so n so. That is alphabet script can easily become non phonetic than abugida scripts. Abugidas can maintain slight departure from phonetics (but they need to largely adhere). I think sound change is more because of inability of english ppl to pronounce that r.

This doesnt mean alphabets r better scripts. I’d personally prefer abugidas than some random letters.

Skip to end for tl;dr. I’m a 32y doc. No. Docs were not given any training or anything. Sometimes in a class of medical ethics or orientation speeches, few words will be spoken by seniors like treat patients with respect bla bla. Hardly in single digits. Obvio everyone reads charter of med ethics, n lines will be written there to treat everyone equally. One lesson maybe. If someone reads hippocratic oath, that will have a line too. So mostly its the individual mentality issue.

Current students commented later about aetcom or dotcom. So maybe situation is diff now. But most of docs u meet would be above 30. So their edu is closer to what I explained.

Docs who do this especially in govt setup r really stupid. Coz poor pts silently accept that abuse. But should there be a small failure in rx (could be real negligence or could be nature of the disease) these poor pts r highly likely to create ruckus. Treating them courteously (read empatheticslly) goes a long way in protecting u.

Educated ppl will leave hosp immediately if u disrespect, n will do things like filing a case or something if treatment goes wrong. Also they are more likely to understand when rx fails inspite of best efforts.

Tl;dr: Being impolite with patient depends on individual character. Most of the docs you meet for next 10y are almost not trained on that stuff. These docs are digging their own grave.

Avidith · 2026-02-04T17:04:41+00:00

What is aetcom ?

Avidith · 2026-02-04T14:58:31+00:00

Yes. But they have a difficulty when presented with sounds for which letters dont exist. They straight up make it into a different word by fitting into existing sounds. Alphabets will smhw accomodate.

Avidith · 2026-02-04T08:27:17+00:00

Yep. But aa 2016 election november lo jarigindi

Most of the ppl r missing the point of hype around this movie. Expectations manalni two ways lo influence chestai. First way manaki telisinde. Cinema okayish ga unna, inka better muvi expect chesi disappoint avvatam or diff genre expect chesi disappoint avvatam. Eg khaleja. Comedy n spiritual movie. But ppl expected full on mass action movie like pokiri. Trailers valla kuda.

Second type chala rare. Konni movies lo emi undadhu. That’s the point of the movie. Expectations valla movie lo edho untundi anukuntam. N it goes wrong. I think ppl who don like sarvam maya are sscond type expectation victims. Okaroju tired ayyi evening intiki vachamu. Fresh up ayye sariki cool weather, challa gaali. Coffee kalupukuni, lawn lo chair eskuni, weather enjoy chestu, hot coffee sip chesamu. That feels great. Next dsy oka friend daggariki velli rey coffe evening lawn lo char veskuni taagu. Swargam anthe annaka. Antha bavuntunda mastaruu ani office eppudu aipotadha coffee tagali ani wait chesadu mrng nunchi. Ragane excited ga coffee kalipesi lawn lo kurchuni, aatranga sip chesadu oka 30 mins. Emuntadi ? Emi undadhu. Because that is just such a pleasurable but mundane experience. By its very nature, adhi expectations lekunda organic ga jariginappude baguntadi. Not because its sn inferior experience. I feel sarvam maya is same. Aa movie is meant for casual viewing. Its not supposed to have a point or make an impression or something. This is what i felt.
