The wrong footwear.
Weekend sports without training.
Skipping rehab after surgery.
These small decisions are leading to long-term joint damage.

In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr. Vivek Kumar Deved explains how footwear choice, sudden sports activity, and incomplete rehabilitation are driving orthopedic injuries in both athletes and non-athletes.

One crucial takeaway:
Rehabilitation is not optional.
Many patients stop physiotherapy midway once pain reduces. That is where long-term damage begins.
With timely treatment, disciplined rehab, and proper nutrition, a return to full fitness is completely achievable.

Heart disease is not just a heart problem.
It’s a vascular problem.

Dr. Amit Khandelwal explains why Indians develop heart disease almost a decade earlier than Western populations — and why family history matters more than you think.
If heart attacks happened early in your family, your risk is higher.
Awareness can save years of life.

Panic attack is not epilepsy.
Yet many families confuse the two.

In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma explains the clear clinical difference between panic attacks, seizures, and PNES (Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures).
A seizure occurs due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
A panic attack is a psychiatric condition.
PNES may look like a seizure but does not involve epileptic activity.

One crucial advice?
Record a video during an episode. In many cases, EEG and MRI may appear normal — the clinical pattern seen in the video becomes essential for diagnosis.
Understanding this difference can prevent misdiagnosis, unnecessary medication, and emotional distress.

Cancer care in India cannot remain city-centric.
It must reach districts — and then go even further.

In this episode of the IHW Podcast, Shri Amit Kumar Ghosh, Additional Chief Secretary, Medical Health & Family Welfare & Medical Education, Government of Uttar Pradesh, outlines how India’s cancer response is evolving under national programs.

From NPCDCS under the National Health Mission to HPV vaccination drives and structured screening through Ayushman Aarogya Mandirs, the focus is shifting toward prevention, early detection, and decentralised treatment.
Uttar Pradesh is rolling out 67 cancer day care centres across districts — bringing chemotherapy, counselling, and family support closer to patients, reducing travel burden, and strengthening community-level care pathways.

The direction is clear:
Cancer care must be accessible, affordable, and integrated at every level of the health system.

A seizure in front of you can feel terrifying. But panic can make the situation worse.

In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma, Senior Consultant – Neurology, explains the correct first-response steps during a seizure or epilepsy attack.

The most important message?

✔️ Lay the patient down
✔️ Turn them to the left lateral position
✔️ Remove sharp objects
✔️ Do NOT put anything in the mouth
✔️ Do NOT block the nose
✔️ Avoid experiments

A spoon in the mouth can break teeth. Blocking airflow can cause oxygen drop. These common myths can be fatal.

Dr. Sharma also highlights why recording a seizure episode helps doctors — because EEG and MRI can appear normal in many patients. The seizure pattern itself often gives the diagnosis.

Awareness isn’t optional. It’s life-saving.

In critical care, time is not just important — it is decisive.

In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr Nitin Jain shares how timely hospital referral directly influences ICU outcomes and survival.

Today’s multi-speciality hospitals operate with 24x7 emergency and critical care teams trained to initiate treatment within strict medical timelines. Whether it is stroke, organ failure, or life-threatening emergencies, immediate protocol-driven intervention can change the trajectory of recovery.

At the same time, he highlights an equally important truth:
No hospital can offer every advanced facility. Early and appropriate referral to specialized centers — such as for liver transplant or complex interventions — is often the difference between risk and recovery.
The message is clear:
Delay costs. Decision saves.

Cancer cases in India have increased by nearly 30% in the last decade, and mortality has risen significantly. But why is this happening? Is cancer truly rising — or are we simply detecting it better?

In this episode of the IHW Podcast, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, Public Health Physician with global experience across 34 countries, breaks down:
🔹 Changing cancer patterns in India
🔹 Why cases are increasing among people below 40
🔹 The link between life expectancy and cancer incidence
🔹 Prevention strategies every Indian household must follow
🔹 HPV & Hepatitis B vaccines in cancer prevention
🔹 The role of to***co, alcohol, sedentary lifestyle & diet
🔹 Common cancer myths delaying treatment
🔹 Why early detection can cure many cancers
🔹 The emotional impact of cancer on caregivers and families

Dr. Kumar emphasizes four universal precautions to reduce cancer risk:
✔️ Avoid to***co
✔️ Avoid alcohol
✔️ Stay physically active
✔️ Follow dietary control

He also highlights a critical reality — cancer affects not just the patient, but the entire family. Caregivers need equal emotional and psychological support.
Early detection saves lives. Delayed treatment reduces quality of life.

Sudden severe headache in old age.
Headache with vomiting in young women.
New, unusual pain that doesn’t feel like your usual migraine.

These are not symptoms to ignore.
In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma explains how what looks like a “regular headache” could sometimes indicate subarachnoid hemorrhage, sentinel headache due to aneurysm, or even cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT).

The message is simple:
New, severe, or unusual headaches need evaluation.
Delay can cost outcomes.

Walking is good.
But walking alone is not enough.

In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr. Ashish Singhal explains why daily physical activity is the backbone of muscle and joint health.

Muscle tone is maintained only by movement. Just 5 days of inactivity can weaken muscles significantly. That’s why 30–45 minutes of structured activity daily is critical.
Brisk walking is beneficial—but strength training, joint mobility work, and dynamic loading exercises are equally important.
Your body is built to move.
Use it—or lose it.

Stress is not just emotional.
It changes your brain structure.

In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma explains how chronic stress and sleep deprivation raise cortisol levels, shrink the hippocampus, increase memory decline, and silently elevate the risk of stroke.

He also decodes:
• What brain fog actually means
• When headache needs investigation
• Why migraine management depends more on lifestyle than MRI
• How sleep, hydration, fasting, and junk food trigger attacks
• Why self-medication can be dangerous
The message is clear:
Your brain is shaped by how you live.
