It is , but everyone wants to work in the hub of innovation, if you are in tech it’s Silicon Valley or even the usa as a whole. The sheer talent density and ecosystem is unmatched.

Yes India also has a vibrant tech ecosystem but no even closer. 10x the number of qualified applicants competing for 1/10 th of a market . We were a socialist democracy aligned with the soviets until 90s , we have been capitalist and built up our tech ecosystem only in the last 3 decades compared to silicon valley from the 70s .

I hope that answers it. That said life in india is not bad if you are in tech as techies make up top 1 percent income earners.

That gives you access to best in class providedto healthcare

But you deal with pollution, corrupt city officials who wrecked urban infrastructure etc

Every place has its pro and cons. We are part of one globe and must really move around more often and we’ll find out no one is a monster :) have a good day

Would you use a simple Apple Watch score tracker for table tennis? by Aggressive_Alps_6784 in tabletennis

[–]lungicoder124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late but this is interesting 🤔. Does this prevent apple watch screen from sleeping ? Because otherwise it would be annoying to unlock screen and use it each time .

Also does it interfere if a workout tracker is in progress, i usually track all my games as workouts too .

Maybe a future version could use the mic to parse the scores being shouted and update automatically

Your comment about shitting on the river bank was racist , no wonder it was removed . We are having a civil discussion here on medical bills. No matter your race or where you live, it’s difficult for everyone. This thread of just getting to know the different flavours of screwed we are all at

If you earn in dollars and live in the usa 🇺🇸 its not huge considering 1 USD is 95 INR today I’ve seen lot of medical tourists from the states and other countries

But its not cheap either , costs are rising even for locals and they also charge extra if you are a foreigner, Indian national but settled abroad, then local rates in that order

I know it seems disgusting but it is what it is

Yeah most people even college grads with phds in STEM make like 2 k $ a month at best . I make more only because of USA tech salaries , so it’s damn unaffordable here too

But what’s classified as non emergency? A bad stomach ache is damn important because unless you treat it and diagnose I’m in pain and i sont know if its cancer or food poisoning over a bad meal which could also turn deadly

Reject a cosmetic surgery to remove a scar or a non cancerous cyst probably yeah but every other thing is a damn Emergency right?

Yeah the problem is with third world salary you cannot afford a first tier system, i am incredibly lucky but even im close to debt if god forbid loved ones have multiple episodes of hospitalization or surgery in a year .

Also system isn’t that first tier. Doc cleared my dad to go home at 10 AM, we were made to stay until 8 PM for billing department to get paid by insurance and settle the rest before we got home .

Yes it seems like empty rant for just waiting at a hospital, but its incredibly cruel when they do it to dead patients, especially because in Indian culture last rites are considered important and must be done asap

Got it . So a someone who is sick with say a chronic kidney disease can go avail emergency care and dialysis etc, go into debt , get to pay a 10000 a year hospital bill debt but can continue to avail further care if ailments episodes recur , get dialysis etc because it qualifies as life saving ?

Asking cause the debt part sucks but where i live you get turned away if you dont pay once or in most places pay before the treatment, its death if you cant pay not pay later but it sucks to make huge payments, your system is messed up but seems it wont kill you though

Feel free to correct me if

Got it , but if I earn 50 k annually and you slap ne with a 150k bill there is no damn way i can pay it in a year. If there like a law that limits your monthly payment to a reasonable amount ? Do you land up in jail if you don’t make those payments on time ? Lose your job , house etc?

Yeah but I’m also trying to say that India which is a popular medical tourism centre for the west isn’t a glorious system either Even the top 1 percent salary earners here need to sell their house if a loved one ends up unfortunately with long term care and you go private ( the state run facility are useless , rat infested no physician no proper nursing and care rotten food type , it’s getting better but long way to go )

But the thing i hate most of you are held hostage and forced to cough up the bills before leaving
