    I am deeply grateful to @WHOSEARO for this award. But the road ahead is long. Let us walk that road together toward a world where disability is not inability, where care is not charity, and where inclusion is not an afterthought but the beating heart of health and humanity. #RC78

    He completed his urology residency at Govt College, Kerala, despite becoming paraplegic in his 1st yr. He won a Columbia fellowship from Society International Urologie. Despite his accomplishments, he cannot apply for a JIPMER faculty post. #NeverGiveUp #DocsWithDisabilities 1/

    Dear @SmitaSabharwal ji, yes, there are many surgeons with disabilities even in India 🇮🇳. In fields like urology, gastro surgery, and plastic surgery. So, when you next see a person with disability, presume COMPETENCE!!

    As there is no MRI machine at our GTB Hospital, our Neurosurgery department referred the patient (riot victim) for MRI but HoD Karkardooma refused saying its a medicolegal case. Here is the proof. How can they refuse patient & write illegal things in writing? @ShaleenMitra
