How could we have let this go on this long? Rachel Coghlan mhoira leng Joan Mary Marston Palliative Care in Humanitarian Aid Situations

A year of protest against the federation chief. Slept on pavements for 40 days. Was beaten, dragged by the police. Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga. Underwent knee surgery. Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process. Became the 1st Indian

Aruna Shanbaug was a junior nurse at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Mumbai who was brutally assaulted and raped by a ward boy on Nov 27, 1973. The attack left her blind, deaf, paralyzed, and in a vegetative state for 42 years+ #RGKarMedicalcollege #BengalHorror

1. Men shouldn’t be allowed to go into isolated, poorly lit areas. 2. Men should avoid situations where women are alone. 3. Men shouldn’t leave hostels between 7pm-7am 4. While on duty men should be well composed emotionally and not resort to violence against anyone.

I'm repeating this again and again dear medicos. Your use of the term "non-medicos" is the most stupid ways you believe will win public trust&solidarity. It won't! If anything you're being counterproductive to the movement against sexual abuse and assualt.

Thank you Faye DSouza for highlighting the systemic failure that all of us need to wake up to: youtu.be/-oq28x6snt8?si…

Is there anything more heartbreaking than parents pleading with the courts for years, just to allow their 31-Y-old son—trapped in a vegetative state for over a decade—to die with dignity? Shouldn't the Supreme Court permit a dignified end? #RightToDie #Euthanasia #DignityInDeath

Entering this world is challenging, and for many, leaving it is just as difficult.

Our opinion on removing intolerable supports in the persistent vegetative state. Important for us to be informed. It touches us all. Times of India middle page 22nd August 2024

Despite having law to withdraw life support of person in permanent vegetative state, SC offers no respite to elderly parents who begged for help to end their son's suffering Ruined by medical expenses, sold house, only to watch son suffer even as they get too old to care for him

The SC passed a judgement that defies the ethics of medical practice. It was truly disappointing. Read this op-ed by 3 leading experts and what they have to say about the judgement.

"To prolong Harish’s life effectively does nothing but add to his suffering. It is hard to imagine what it must have taken his ageing parents to move court." Parth | पार्थ & Smriti Rana write How to ensure dignity for the terminally-ill indianexpress.com/article/opinio… The Indian Express
