For all those criticizing
@theliverdoc , fr his contributions to fighting pseudoscience/ recent skirmish with the great Chess Player Vidit, let me tell u that his life is not easy. Besides his busy medical practice, the great Dr fights pseudoscience, not fr his benefit , but to save precious Indian Lives. That is a noble cause.
There is no Dr more abused in Indian Twitter than
@theliverdoc . Yet, he continues to do his good work. Sitting in Tamilnadu, I hv heard testimonials of several ppl saved from alcoholism/ potential painful death, just by following him. He has contributed to improving the general health of Indians by his rational, intelligent tweets replete with immense, life-saving wisdom.
Bringing his family into ur quarrel with him, tarnishing their image is revolting. Nobody else among the current generation of Indian Drs has done more to improve the health of 1.4 billion Indians, as has Dr.Cyriac Abby Philips, the great hepatologist frm Kerala. He hs a certain style of putting things across, which is his wish.
Whenever/wherever Pseudoscience had the potential to destroy human life/good health, this Dr hs appeared on the scene, to explain in simple terms, what is medically good or bad fr the avg Indian. Fr that alone, he shd be awarded the B.C.Roy award fr the best Indian Dr. & don't bring in religion. Not in a single tweet, hs he remotely been critical of ANY religion.
Raise a toast to Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, lovingly called The Liver Doctor. A one-man-army that has saved thousands of lives.
