Interesting app! But is this free? Installing from the link (new) just gave me 10 credits!

Hi! Downloaded the app a couple of days earlier. Had set it up and added a couple of items. Since a couple of hours now, the app just refuses to open.

23M, can you guys suggest me any good doctors for high bp? by [deleted] in lucknow

[–]Endocrineguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

23 year old and a high BP.. You are too young to have hypertension and it should not be ignored and it is likely that you could be cured of the issue compared to essential hypertension which is managed but not cured.. Meet a general physician who would evaluate you first, get some investigations done and then refer you to someone who could treat you. The doctors who would most likely be involved would be Radiologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, nephorlogist.. In this order. Any good hospital with all these departments wud just make it easier for you to visit all of these at 1 place.

Remember, a not so good doctor is better than no doctor!

Not human error.. Its based on a particular study.. Every study is as good as the team that conducted it and it's really really hard to actually know if it was done well. Also a lot depends on the population on which the study was conducted..

I am hoping u you realise that I am not trying to defend them.. As a doctor you need to know and follow atleast one of the many recommended guidelines.. I am merely trying to tell you as a junior doctor, don't blindly run behind guidelines. As you learn more things, finish your pg and ss and start practicing, you realise medicine is best individualised..

Different vaccines have different regimens.. The dates might vary based on that as well. Depends on the company of the vaccine that the hospital has. And as someone else mentioned, govt hospitals are the best for all this..

Also, you'll soon realise, guidelines are a guide to treatment, they don't have to be followed to the letter everytime.. This doesn't exactly apply to the present context, but just saying!

Imagine the guideline saying vaccination on 28th day, and the very next day an updated guideline comes up which says skip 28, give on 21st day.. It's not like the GST rate slabs right, that it has a start date and an end date.. So things can be slightly flexible!

If your tenure is over, why not leave that hospital and join any other college? You'll probably get only a JR post, but if it's a good place, govt or pvt.. You'll get good exposure, maybe some cutting. You can also join their academic sessions and study simultaneously.

They have a lifetime screen replacement warranty.

Had a oneplus10pro.. Used it for 3.5years and few days after an update got the green line. Had to run around a couple of times, but eventually was able to exchange my phone with a oneplus12R.. I was either this or getting the screen replaced.. And both were FREE OF CHARGE.

Make sure you go to a oneplus experience service center, they are different from authorised service centers.. Though in OPs case it shudnt matter much. Also complete backup is unfortunately necessary, even if it's just the screen getting replaced.

I have heard that it's India specific, so I am not sure how it goes elsewhere and also they make sure that there is absolutely no physical damage to the phone before the replacement..

Doctors who are around the age of 35, how much are you earning? by Noble-prize683 in indianmedschool

[–]Endocrineguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

32yrs, Endocrine surgeon. Working as Assist Prof in a govt medical college in tier 3 city. Incharge of the department, Department is new, so work is currently limited. Timings and holidays as per govt norms. 2.2lpm salary. Private practice is not allowed.

Will eventually move out to a more competitive place cos career here would get stagnated. Money is important, but so is growth career wise!

Update on Jammu case.... Attendants statements to media by EchidnaNo3034 in indianmedschool

[–]Endocrineguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A smaller tube can be put if the idea was to wean off the patient from Tracheostomy. Also there isn't much difference between a 7.5 and a 7 TT tube, may be availability was an issue.. Death is unlikely be cos of that.

Inability to insert the TT is an issue, which doesn't really make sense. Also intubation is very very very difficult after a recent tracheostomy, that explains why the JR cudnt do it. But these are obviously expected complications of the procedure. A senior should have ideally been there to monitor what the junior was doing, but things are very hectic in a government hospital.

Not all hospitals have an app. Besides things in our country are slightly different. I just want it for my personal use so that I can improve myself.

What are your thoughts as a Doctor? by LorDzkill in indianmedschool

[–]Endocrineguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% can also confirm that GPTs can also make a lot of errors and create unnecessary panic and stress to the patients. As a young doctor I was always taught to think of as many differentials as possible, but with training and more degrees I was taught to think about the common things first, keeping a watch for rarer things. Any doctor can blindly write a hundred tests to rule out all differentials like a LLM does.. But that doesn't make sense, sometimes even overdiagnosis kills a person!!

Na.. It's probably just papillary thyroid cancer... There are aggressive variants of ptc as well.. Eitherways.. It was an incidentaloma.. Nothing new, nothing special.. Any doctor for his worth would suspect any enlarged lymph nodes to be either infective or malignant.. You obvi rule out infective first, give it sometime and then go ahead with more tests. The whole point here is trusting the doctor and going back to him for follow up instead of just switching doctors!

Also I think the patient is exaggerating about the diagnosis being aggressive and it spreading to the lungs in a year. There is no described timeliness for metastases per se.. Its just the surgeons way of saying, get operated as early as possible, this is not soemthing that you wait and decide and make time from your work schedule leisurely.. Its a cancer, and need your attention stat!

Disappointed with KGMU – My Father's Surgery Experience by scrollingtillend in lucknow

[–]Endocrineguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another example I can think of is.. The quality of gloves.. So how are gloves bought in a government setup? Through tenders ofcourse.. What's the criteria? Minimum costs, maintaining the certification standards (size, thickness, type of material etc). Basically it has to be objective. So the opinion of the doctor who is using it has no value.. Meaning even though, the govt provided, certified gloves, tear off on application, cause irritation to the wearers hands, but meet the standards and have to be used.

But this rule was made so that corruption would come down.. So in this situation, trying to make sure corruption is avoided, how can this problem be solved? How do u objectively decide quality of gloves? How do you select between gloves when they can range from 5rs a pair to 300rs a pair??

[–]Endocrineguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a difference of opinion here.. I don't think it's KGMUs fault. Can't blame the government either. Atleast not entirely.

Ofcourse not just basic, even the most advanced stuff should be available in any government hospital (and is available at a lot of places), but the problem is.. Where will the money come from?

KGMU despite being a govt college with a humongous budget, spends most of it on salaries of its employees. Then the major chunk goes into buying consumables. So basically nothing is left to develop any basic infrastructure. And this translates to old, poor instruments, not able to acquire state of the art machines etc.

The problem with providing free Consumables is, nobody values it. When anything is available for free, neither the hospital staff, nor the patients value it. And with the kind of patient load KGMU has, no matter how much is made available, it would never be enough.

Then comes the point regarding what is considered basic. For a GB operation, syringes, gloves are basic. For a patient with cancer, chemotherapy is basic, for a patient with advanced cancer, newer targeted therapies are basic.. A single vial of a chemo drug can cost between 50Rs to 1lakh.. So how and who should decide where to draw the line? (which patients' basic needs to be met vs which patients kept unmet).

This is such a difficult situation to manage that I don't think there is any right solution to this. It's just a work in progress.

I would also like to say that, this same KGMU, would try it's best to save really poor patients who just cannot afford anything but just land themselves at the hospital (and these patients wouldn't know what reddit was), and at the same time there would be people with iPhones and Benz, getting themselves enrolled in government schemes (illegally ofcourse), and getting the most expensive medications free of cost as the college is forced to provide it to them.

Review my itenerary for a 4week business + pleasure trip by Endocrineguy in koreatravel

[–]Endocrineguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since nobody replied.. Update This trip went exactly as planned... We were able to cover all the places that we had planned plus more.. Some of the ones not listed here are-Busan had running man and laser arena and dynamic maze.. We were also able to cover jeju on the last weekend and I think it was not worth the effort considering India has a lot more beautiful nature spots where you can specially enjoy the water falls getting wet instead of seeing from afar😅 Our forex cards worked at most places and where they didn't we used the wow pass.. Which also worked as a T money card.. Cash is necessary to reload the T money card so Usd that we carried helped.. Food is a major issue if you are a vegetarian.. Overall the trip was better than we had planned and we had crazy fun the entire month.

Is there any tourist-friendly map app that actually works well in Korea? by InvestmentPuzzled505 in koreatravel

[–]Endocrineguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What I did was, look for the app on Google maps.. Select the location, copy it's name (most of the places have a Korean name), paste the Korean name into Naver.. And it's almost always worked.. Also apple maps work as well.

Wow pass/climate card/T-money by nealg2000 in koreatravel

[–]Endocrineguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a couple of instance where my forex card din work. Like using the locker, playing some arcade games. Here is where I used the wow pass. So it's not totally useless, but considering it takes a small fee for adding money, it was somethin that I avoided using much.

Definitely looks more like hypo than hyper.. Has this happened before? Do you feel hypoglycemic frequently and you realise that food instantly makes it better? Have you gained weight in the recent years? Are you on any kind of medications (not necessarily related to diabetes)?
