DM cardiology course suffers from a 50% entry block … A NEET angioplasty done.
The most premier course in medicine, DM cardiology just got an entry makeover. The qualifying mark was lowered to 20% from the current 50th percentile The reason is many private medical college seats went vacant after the Initial counselling in NEET superspeciality exams.

What we can learn from the tragic deaths of CEOs
An excerpt from Dead Execs Don’t Get Bonuse$: The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Your Career With a Healthy Heart.  The details of the careers and tragic deaths of these CEOs are a matter of public record, and the disruption that followed their deaths was enormous.

Expensive Hospitals: The Enemy Within
By ANISH KOKA MD Everyone agrees that health care is bankrupting the nation. The prevailing winds have carried the argument that a system that pays per unit of health care delivered and thus favors volume over value is responsible. The problem, you see, was the doctors. They were just incentivized to do too much. This incontrovertible fact was the basis for changes in the healthcare system that favored hospital employment and have made the salaried physician the new normal. Yet, health care costs remain ascendant. Why? It turns out overutilization in the US healthcare system isn’t what its cracked up to be. Figure 1...

Does free medical school decrease social justice?
BY ANISH KOKA MD The hottest medical school in the country right now is the New York University School of Medicine thanks to the gift of a generous benefactor that promises to make medical school free for all current and future medical students.  The news was met by elation from the medical community of physicians that groans frequently about student debt loads routinely north of $200,000 upon matriculation.  Not surprisingly, the technocrat class of public health experts and economists did not share in the jubilation.  The smarter-than-the-rest-of-us empiricists are, after all, trained to think in terms of social justi...

The story of a new physician mother
My baby was crying non-stop as soon as we got her home. She tried to latch and did well, but I had no way of knowing how much nutrition she was getting. I counted the diapers, and the numbers were just barely on track, and she was making small quantities. I was trying to Google more tips with one hand and nurse her with the other. She was suffering, and I was desperately trying to find the information I needed. She did not sleep. My nipples were bleeding and burning. And I had not slept in three days. I developed an aversion to nursing due to the pain and fatigue but would do anything to calm her and feed her. I am a physi...

Raj of the NHS – How doctors from India and Pakistan saved the NHS
By ROHIN FRANCIS  India and Pakistan celebrate 71 years of Independence today. The British National Health Service owes them a debt of gratitude. Great Britain’s national dish is famously chicken curry, but South Asia’s impact on this sceptred isle extends far beyond food. It is a testament to how ingrained into the British psyche the stereotypical Indian doctor has become that in 2005 a poll of Brits found the doctor they’d most like to consult is a 30-something South Asian female. In 2010 the BBC even ran a popular TV series simply entitled ‘The Indian Doctor’ following a story played out across the UK in the...

Is the stethoscope a vestigial organ?
In the context of human evolution, a vestigial organ is defined as one that has lost all or most of its original function through evolution. Charles Darwin provided a list of vestigial human organs in “The Descent of Man,” including the muscles of the ear, wisdom teeth, the appendix, the coccyx, body hair and the semilunar fold in the corner of the eye. If you had told me 19 years ago when I graduated from medical school that I would one day compare my stethoscope to a vestigial organ, I would have smiled politely and discounted everything you subsequently said. But back then, beta-blockers were contraindicated...
