Ethics are the core of profession!
She chose ethics over a salary. Respect. 🫡
Young doctor Dr. Prabhleen Kaur reportedly resigned on her very first day at a private hospital after she was allegedly pressured to admit patients unnecessarily and keep some patients in the ICU longer than she felt was medically required.
While the allegations should be properly investigated, her decision to walk away rather than compromise her professional ethics deserves appreciation.
Medicine should always put patients before profit, treatment before targets, and care before billing.
Choosing conscience over a well-paying job takes courage. Her stand is a reminder that a doctor’s first responsibility should always be towards the patient and their well-being.
Mobile addiction!
Smartphones and mobile tech have woven into nearly every daily habit, but their pervasive presence has several downsides. Here’s a concise look at where mobile use can negatively affect daily life, along with practical ways to mitigate it.
Key negative impacts
Disrupted attention and reduced focus
Constant notifications and multitasking fragment concentration, making it harder to complete deep work or meaningful conversations.
Sleep interference
Blue light from screens and late-evening scrolling suppress melatonin, leading to poorer sleep quality and fatigue.
Deteriorating face-to-face social interaction
Preference for digital interactions over in-person conversations can weaken relationships and social skills.
Increased stress and anxiety
Information overload, social comparison, and fear of missing out (FOMO) can heighten worry and affect mood.
Decreased physical activity
Time spent scrolling replaces movement, contributing to a more sedentary lifestyle and related health issues.
Privacy and security risks
Apps collect data, apps with weak permissions can leak information, and public networks expose users to risks.
Decision fatigue and poor self-regulation
Easy access to endless options—shopping, entertainment, food—can lead to impulse purchases and procrastination.
Dependence and resilience erosion
Overreliance on smartphones reduces problem-solving practice and the ability to function offline.
Digital divide and inequality
Unequal access to devices and connectivity can widen gaps in education, employment, and information access.
