We don't have one.

"Translated to the population of , our survey estimates that more than 6.5 million adults across the country don't have access to a family or nurse practitioner they can see regularly. And even those lucky enough to have a family doctor are struggling to get timely care for urgent concerns or care on evenings and weekends."

Doctor mistakenly operated on a kid's tongue instead of finger.
How can a doctor commit such a mistake. It's such a traumatic experience for the kid!!!

A Doctor operated on 4-year-old patient's tongue instead of her finger in Kerala and faced public uproar due to which he got suspended.

#Dinosaurs in #Doctor #Who, who would have guessed...
Lets take a look at what they show, and break down what we can see.
They say they are 150m years in the past, in #Wyoming

In this image we can clearly see a #Brachiosaurus.
As far as I know, its been found in #Colorado which is close enough for it to migrate there.

It also looks fairly accurate for a #Giraffatitan adjacent species.

In the background, although harder to see are probably #Apatosaurs, or #Diplodocus.

Over all 10/10

Is there a #Doctor in the house? 😀

For the past 3 nights and yesterday afternoon, I've had a nose bleed out of my right nostril. Not gushing like a hit but a trickle. Luckily, it wakes me before I make a mess of pillows/sheets. 😳

I haven't been hit in the nose. No extra exertion or exercise to cause it. No previous issues with anything else other than the usual aches and pains of being old(er).No racing hereart rate or anything I can attribute it to.

Do you think it's a cause for concern? 😳

Our medical centre has just put up some of its fees ($63 a visit) and introduced "Note that appointments running over time will be charged at $20 per 5 minutes, including for community services card holders. A standard appointment only allows 10 minutes of consultation and 5 minutes for your clinician to make notes. Only one item can be addressed safely in a standard consultation." (NZ$)

What sort of charges do you experience where ever you are in the world?

»A #Palestinian #doctor has died in an #Israeli #prison after more than four months in detention, Palestinian prisoner associations have said.

Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, 50, was the head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital. [..]

Colleagues have paid tribute to the late #surgeon describing him as "compassionate" and "heroic".

Al-Shifa's director, Dr Marwan Abu Saada, said the news of his death was difficult for the human soul to bear.«
