This is going to be a thread, possibly long, won& #39;t know till i finish it
Will look and feel like a rant
Some including the person in question might feel that it is a personal attack
Call it what you want
I& #39;m calling it just me putting out some facts and some opinions
MY opinions
She is a doctor

I don& #39;t know her personally
maybe some of you do

She writes an impressive thread about what we doctors face on a daily basis

But she reeks of hypocrisy

allow me to explain

Full disclosure, she has blocked me, will explain that later

https://twitter.com/pseudo_sapiens/status/1311949798027587584?s=20">https://twitter.com/pseudo_sa...
some honesty from her
she just doesn& #39;t know because she was lucky to never have faced it
those of us who have, know the truth
it& #39;s not pretty
ESPECIALLY those of us who work the night shift
She claims to understand "defensive behaviour"
To combat the rise of litigation and/or abuse (verbal, physical, or mental) defensive behaviour/defensive medicine is what we practice now
it has led to rise in & #39;excessive investigations" because we can& #39;t afford to "miss anything"
Personally I make sure that if I find that my patient doesn& #39;t agree to even a single test of procedure which i deem necessary, i write it down in the file that they are "not willing" and have them sign in.
Paperork is the only thing that will save you, trust me
So back to our protagonist
She admits the system is broken
She "knows" that we work within this broken system and yet things can go wrong or may not be upto so called "international standards"
so she advices patients/families this well intentioned message
So to recap
1. She agrees the system is broken
2. She agrees we thus practice defensive medicine
3. She pleads to patients and family to "contemplate this"

so what did she do?

barely 5 days before this she tweeted this.. *outrage*

https://twitter.com/pseudo_sapiens/status/1310079744017276929?s=20">https://twitter.com/pseudo_sa...
She lambasts the doctor in question. She is "angry". She questions "how can administration of this medicine cocktail be justified". She then goes on a 5 tweet rant with further outrage including claiming she would "sued this team of doctos"
so much for contemplation i see
so what is my involvement in this?
And what got me blocked?
So a twitter mutual @Lord_VoldeMaut tagged me in her rant
As i normally do, i read her tweets and i read her profile and i read her other tweets
I like to understand who i am dealing with first before responding online
after all that I came to the conclusion that she is angry

just angry

sure she rattles out some basic justification for her anger but as far as I could see she was just looking to outrage
i noticed some other mutuals tried to give in their diplomatic replies

here& #39;s one https://twitter.com/MhaskarChief/status/1310249464511123459?s=20">https://twitter.com/MhaskarCh...
some tried to be realistic and general being careful not to single out this particular doctor https://twitter.com/SonaliVaid/status/1310197342285393920?s=20">https://twitter.com/SonaliVai...
but she wouldn& #39;t have any of it, unless you agreed with her pov and abused this poor doctor for a random handwritten prescription dug up from who knows where

so what did i do?

I felt it was best to take a diplomatic approach

this as my response https://twitter.com/just1doctorwala/status/1310211383405944832?s=20">https://twitter.com/just1doct...
it all went downhill after that
not satisfied with my answer matching up with her outrage she attempted to school me on rational pharmacy...

i tried to extricate myself from it by this https://twitter.com/just1doctorwala/status/1310522183165206528?s=20">https://twitter.com/just1doct...
i even hoped to try and tell her that maybe we need to back off a bit

i felt maybe get in touch with this doctor and find out what is going on?

i linked my thread on medical jousting too hoping to pray upon her sense of fair play and conscience https://twitter.com/just1doctorwala/status/1310522633969004544?s=20">https://twitter.com/just1doct...
her response? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="Achselzuckender Mann" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckender Mann">
followed by 2 not so random sly tweets

including ss just in case

https://twitter.com/pseudo_sapiens/status/1310540969415041026?s=20">https://twitter.com/pseudo_sa...
so
1. other doctor& #39;s experience doesn& #39;t matter
2. we are facing an unprecedent medical crises
3. we don& #39;t know for sure what works and won& #39;t work
4. we work in a system where the family will actually kill you if their loved ones die
5. and you want to blame, villify, and sue this doctor who is trying to do his job

PATHETIC
We don& #39;t know if this doctor is doing something nefarious
We don& #39;t know if the doctor is just trying anything and everything possible
But to assume the worst, and to villify and abuse on social media like this?
How are you any different from these people? https://twitter.com/just1doctorwala/status/1311685901970415616?s=20">https://twitter.com/just1doct...
Dr. Anoop Krishna was a brilliant young orthopaedic surgeon
my good friend here poured his heart out here talking about him https://twitter.com/Maveli_praja/status/1311693960385949698?s=20">https://twitter.com/Maveli_pr...
so dear @pseudo_sapiens

YOU are an enabler
YOU are part of the same crowd that killed Dr. Anoop
YOU are no different from those media trials

Be different
Be BETTER

if nothing else, & i assume some mutual will show this thread to you
you will at least "contemplate"

*end rant*
