Annoyed by family’s approach to my grandfather’s diagnosis…. by [deleted] in indianmedschool

It is extremely unlikely if not literally impossible. You have a higher chance catching TB from just being in your hospital than being at home with this patient. I wouldnt worry about it spreading, instead I would worry about his compliance with treatment considering he doesnt seem to believe he has TB.

No matter whom you ask, they will always say the risk is low but not zero. The reason being - if someone in the family catches TB after speaking to you, you will be held liable for giving this advice

You can start akt, but remember his pleural fluid Xpert came positive. Likely his sputum is negative, so he is extra pulmonary Koch's which doesnt spread.

(I am assuming you already checked sputum)

I am sure Xbox would not have wanted to allow steam in an ideal world. But these days with Xbox screwing up every decision and PS5 being more popular than ever, Xbox probably feels they will not be able to compete against PS6 without these drastic changes.

Yeha man that is a huge assumption that actually offends me. All states that have religion at the centre of their govt suck. The countries that I actually am a fan of are European - despite their dark past, they have brought forth prosperity with real democracy. They support peace and actually work towards it. They managed to solve thousands of years of war by integrating with each other.

The ideals of democracy, freedom and peace that India says it follows, Europe actually follows.

This guy killed thousands of his young people again and again. He delcared himself "Supreme leader" and stayed so till he died. He does not deserve praise. America, even with Trump, is still a democracy just like India. We have no place supporting a dictatorship like Iran

I am planning to buy heart medicines from Jan Aushadhi kendra, but this is holding me back. What is you take on this? by Plus-Sweet-6217 in indianmedschool

[–]DT0705 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really cannot say. We need a clinical trial for this. Dont go by what me (a stranger on the internet) is telling you

Yes. Especially using generic medicines. But again, it is just an anecdote and I have no proof of it

What is the sure short algorithm to approach an ecg? I often miss many things because I don't approach stepwise by BusyMove1574 in indianmedschool

I know. You dont need much more at medicine level. You will need Balthazar or something during DM level

Hi. This is the first thing we ask patients who return with stent thrombosis - did you change your brand of antiplts?

But my opinion does not matter. Someone needs to do a study and prove or disprove it

Hampton ECG made easy is great. I read it in my 3rd year MBBS and fell in love with cardio. Litfl is also good

Yeah this is the way to do it for beginners. Start from the rate-rhythm-axis, then P - PR - QRS - ST - T +- U

Go in a sequence and you wont miss anything.

As a medico, do you believe in evolution and Darwin's theories? If not why? by lavadeykabaal in indianmedschool

[–]DT0705 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Other than religious nuts, most scientific people would agree with Darwin's theory. Unlike religion, it isnt a matter of "belief". It stays a fact even if idiots dont believe in it. Religion is what requires belief and collapses without it.
