The Indic Doctor

From the clinic

Short explanations of the things I end up repeating twenty times a day in the outpatient department. Written for patients and families, in plain language.

General information, not advice for your case.
When a fever actually needs a hospital
The signs worth acting on, and the ones that can wait until morning.
Your blood pressure medicine is not a course
Why stopping when you feel fine is the commonest mistake I see.
What to carry to an OPD visit
Old prescriptions, reports, and the one question you should write down beforehand.
