students work with COVID-19 patients one week and then go straight to working with patients in the general ward.
Students studying to be surgeons don’t know how to remove an appendix, lung specialists haven’t learned the first thing about lung cancer and biochemists are spending all their time doing PCR tests.
Our confidence is shaken. Put your house in order,” the Delhi High Court on Tuesday told the Delhi government as it hauled it up for rampant black marketing of oxygen cylinders and essential drugs in the national capital. The court on Tuesday asked it to submit a report about the deaths which have taken place in Delhi on account of shortage of oxygen.
“Set your house in order. Enough is enough. If you cannot manage it, tell us then we will ask the central government to send their officers. We will ask them to take over. We cannot let people die like this,” the division bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli said, as it asked the government to take over a cylinder distributor’s unit in Dwarka.
I had written in detail about this practice last year after a 2nd death in my family from covid. We lost a 27yr old post-grad who was assigned to covid duty. Sadly this isn't just limited to deploying final year MBBS or post-grad students to care for critically ill patients, for many years now even corporate hospitals have been using ayurvedic practitioners as last shift doctors . IMA as usual makes some noise once in a while and then looks the other way. I had even named a government hospital in Karnataka which was and probably still is using dentists in covid wards.vera_k wrote:Another possible cause of rising infections. Possible 2nd order effects with untrained doctors graduating this year or next. A huge expansion in medical training intake will be needed to allow for some normal operations.

Chola ji... it is good to have you back.
Mental health is important. If you have family with you talk to them more about what you feel. Try keeping yourself busy in small things or hobbies. Most importantly stop watching TV or the internet. There are things that you cant control, so dont waste energy thinking about it.VipinM wrote:Hi my second post after years of lurking.

No, Delhi has a hyper de-centralized system called Mohalla Clinics run by commie-jihadi nexus under the expert guidance of that beggar in chief whose name rhymes with fall.

Is there no centralised call center to call for ambulance?
If so, can center not declare emergency, step in, and manage this pandemic better?vimal wrote: No, Delhi has a hyper de-centralized system called Mohalla Clinics run by commie-jihadi nexus under the expert guidance of that beggar in chief whose name rhymes with fall.
My heart goes out to you!! Please be strong, refuge in Almighty helps during these times. I had my own brother, cousin, uncle's, aunts getting affected. What is probably saving them is all of them are vaccinated. Some have really poor health.VipinM wrote:Hi my second post after years of lurking.

Summet ji, thanks for pointing it out. I'm just worried about the courts waiting too long to make a decision which will cause a ripple effect first in terms of lives lost, economy grinding back to a halt, and media minions using this opportunity to project the entire blame on Modi govt.Sumeet wrote: Read below, Delhi HC is on fire against Delhi Govt. They have flatly informed Kejri's govt that Delhi will be handed over to Central govt if they don't improve their situation.
In a letter, Bharat Biotech has told Maharashtra it can supply 5 lakh doses in May, 10 lakh each in June and July, and 20 lakh each in August, September and October. A date for May has not been provided. The order for 85 lakh doses will cost the state around Rs 535.5 crore.
Darshan Ji, I do not manage COVID patients myself right now, but looking at the literature and talking to my colleagues who do, Remdesivir has not conclusively been proven to be of any benefit, but is still being used. The recommendation is grade 2C meaning it is a weak recommendation, the benefits being uncertain and grade C meaning evidence of benefit is based on observational studies and not clinical studies of the usual type for these things. Even then, in our local hospitals they are using it for hospitalized patients with O2 sats on room air falling to below 94% and who therefore require supplemental oxygen.darshan wrote:Primus, DrRatnadip should chime in. Other alternatives have been introduced in the protocol. I have yet to find a concrete study that says that remidisvir is applicable to majority of cases. I have been on it since early March when GJ decided to stick with it and not change protocol. GJ eventually did change it to include others.saip wrote:What is happening with Remidisivir? There seems to be huge black market. My brother in law's wife is in the hospital Guntur, AP and they can not get it. Someone has quoted 25k per injection (1.25 lakhs for five) and we have to arrange a car to get it from Hyderabad (180 km away).
RSingh Ji, my pranaams to your fortitude and courage.

Covaxin, India's home-grown COVID-19 vaccine, has been found to neutralise the 617 variant of the deadly virus, White House chief medical adviser and America's top pandemic expert Dr Anthony Fauci said in Washington.
"This is something where we're still gaining data on a daily basis. But the most recent data, was looking at convalescent Sera of COVID-19 cases and people who received the vaccine used in India, the Covaxin. It was found to neutralise the 617 variants," he said.
"So, despite the real difficulty that we're seeing in India, vaccination could be a very, very important antidote against this," Fauci said.
The New York Times on Tuesday said Covaxin works by teaching the immune system to make antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The antibodies attach to viral proteins, such as the so-called spike proteins that stud its surface.

Wherever feasible on online forums, comments sections of news articles and tweets - the counter narrative should focus on the following facts.Tanaji wrote:All BBC and other western reporting is tom tomming deliberately that India has vaccinated only 1.6% of the population. There is deliberate avoidance of the statistic that 145M doses have been administered using the same strategy that most western nations have adopted off delaying the second dose to ensure coverage.
