        RUC would suggest that we increase reimbursement for ‘SURGERY, W/ CELLPHONE LIGHT’….which would have some unintended consequences.

        Some doctors in India get jailed for challenging Hindutva mismanagement. As in Gorakhpur. Others in Karnataka cling to privilege @kpmeyake @sakie339 @vinaysreeni @apushpa while Siddaramaiah, the fourth BJP @CMofKarnataka , dilly-dallies with the lives of indigent people.
