So after losing lakhs of followers he still has 10.4 million followers! Why? What does he do with that sorta reach? And he& #39;s not even a "hero". On #doctorsday when I& #39;m being flooded with Doctors are heroes WA fwds I have to wonder how sincere these are. 1/n
I& #39;m not sure why Karan Johar or his ilk deserve the kinda adulation and following they have. They barely use the platform. So on #doctorsday2020 here& #39;s my list of doctors i follow who are hero material and should be followed more. Advance apologies to ppl I& #39;ve left out 2/n
1st on the list @amitsurg because it& #39;s also his bday. But also because he& #39;s using his platform to do good. His NGO @PEHL_India with @AnjanaPed does fantastic work in rural India. Plus on occasion he puts out videos/audios of his guitar playing. Total Rockstar 3/n
@AnushaRohit follow because she& #39;s been actively spreading good evidence based info on infection control which is especially relevant during these Covid times. Certified #Covidwarrior 4/n
No doctor I follow has done a better job of informing ppl about Covid numbers and its meaning than @DoctorLFC. But he also hasn& #39;t lost sight of the primary focus, ie, informing ppl about diabetes control and management. All this with superb humour 5/n
But doctors aren& #39;t only about work. And @KetPan and @bijlanirajesh are proof. I& #39;m not entirely sure if there are any pies these 2 dont have their fingers in. But their TL is testament to their multifaceted interests. Plus long passionate discussions 6/n
There are a whole bunch of young docs who constitute my #MedTwitter list. All of them are a lot of fun and my window to what kids like and do these days. @Your_Levodopa @Angriy_BiRd @viswas_mr @aproudempath @ThakurAkshay and many more. 7/n
These are all people who use this platform positively. Whose content is useful and should be widely shared. Maybe one day when society values it& #39;s real heroes more than its faux silver screen ones they might get the following they deserve. Till then make do with my thanks! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😜" title="Winking face with tongue" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face with tongue"> 8/n
One last thing. For most of us a good day is one where we& #39;ve helped our patients, managed to save a life or 2 and not get beaten up in the process. On #doctorsday2020 we don& #39;t need the greetings, just spare us the beatings. /End
