India posts world record COVID cases with oxygen running out
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India recorded the world's highest daily tally of 314,835 COVID-19 infections on Thursday as a second wave of the pandemic raised new fears about the ability of crumbling health services to cope. Health officials across northern and western India, including the capital, New Delhi, said they were in crisis, with most hospitals full and running out of oxygen. Some doctors advised patients to stay at home, while a crematorium in the eastern city of Muzaffarpur said it was being overwhelmed with bodies, and grieving families had to wait their turn. A crematorium east of Delhi built funeral pyres in its parking lot. "Right now there are no beds, no oxygen. Everything else is secondary," said Shahid Jameel, a virologist and director of the Trivedi School of Biosciences at Ashoka University. "The infrastructure is crumbling." Six hospitals in New Delhi had run out of oxygen, according to a tally shared by the city government, and the city's deputy chief ... » Learn More about India posts world record COVID cases with oxygen running out
How doctors can market themselves without running afoul of non-advertising laws

But how are you going to persuade the public to consult you in preference to your colleagues? At medical school, you were never taught about the economics of medicine nor marketing for patients. In fact, talking about money in the medical field is abhorred. “You go into medicine because you want to help people, not to make money” – that is society’s expectation of doctors. After graduation, you work as a houseman for two years. Then you train for an average of four to six more years to become a specialist. After that, some will further train in a sub-speciality for several more years. By the time you feel competent enough to move into private practice, you will probably be in your late 30s. While concentrating on working hard to gain your clinical skills, you never thought of ... » Learn More about How doctors can market themselves without running afoul of non-advertising laws
