Why this blog exists and why you should stick around?

    Let’s be honest: healthcare has enough echo chambers. Polite nods, rehearsed debates, and the collective pretense that everything’s fine. But what if we actually talked about the cracks in the system—with scalpel-sharp wit, zero respect for sacred cows, and just enough sarcasm to make the bitter pills go down?
This blog is for those who believe "controversial" shouldn’t mean "unspoken." Expect unfiltered takes on the issues that should keep healthcare professionals awake at night—served with a side of dark humor, because laughter is the only sterile coping mechanism we’ve got left.
Topics I'll dissect with a scalpel..... or may be a chainsaw!!!

Quacks, Influencers, and the Death of Expertise

  • Instagram "health gurus" vs. actual science: Why your liver detox is just expensive pee.

  • The rise of Dr Google, MD (YouTube), DM (Instagram) 

  • How "natural" became the most dangerous word in healthcare.

Ethics? What Ethics?

  • The quiet death of informed consent (now with more fine print!).

  • Hospitals as profit centers: When "patient-first" becomes "margin-first."

  • Why your doctor’s moral compass now points to "survival mode."

The Pharma-Doctor Tango: It’s Not Romance, It’s a Transaction

  • "Gifts," "guidelines," and the art of prescribing with a nudge.

  • Why your favorite "independent" medical conference reeks of corporate sponsorship.

  • The rise of the "Key Opinion Leader" (translation: glorified and highly expensive sales rep with an MD).

Regulatory Authorities: Sleeping at the Wheel or Just Pretending?

  • How drugs get approved faster than your Amazon returns.

  • The myth of "post-marketing surveillance" (spoiler: it’s not surveillance if no one’s watching).

  • Why "fast-track approval" sounds heroic but tastes like expired syrup.

Medical Education: The Race to the Bottom

  • The MBBS factory: churning out underpaid, overworked, and under prepared doctors.

  • Why "Google vs. Professor" is the real curriculum today.

  • The tragicomedy of PG entrance exams—where merit fights a losing battle against coaching centers.

Ground Rules for the Comments Section

  1. Debate, don’t defame. Attack ideas, not people.

  2. Cite your sources (or at least admit you’re ranting), if ranting  the more the merrier!

  3. No corporate shills—unless you’re ready to be roasted.

The Fine Print

This blog isn’t about finger-pointing or personal attacks. It’s about asking uncomfortable questions, sparking debate, and laughing at the absurdities we all see but rarely talk about.

Beneath the snark lies a real agenda: to poke, provoke, and (maybe) push for change. If a single post makes you question the status quo, I’ve done my job.

Final Warning: If you’re easily offended by uncomfortable truths, this isn’t your safe space. If you’re ready to laugh while the system burns, Cheers! Pull up a chair, light a cigar and get a bottle of single malt!
