Fake News After the 2015 Earthquake? | Dr Deepak Mahara’s ICU Story
२०१५ को भूकम्पपछि फैलिएको गलत सूचना | डा. दीपक महराको ICU अनुभव
What happens when misinformation spreads during a crisis?

In this powerful story shared on Beyond the WhiteCoat with Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma, Dr. Deepak Mahara recalls an unforgettable experience from the days following the 2015 Nepal earthquake.

During that time, fear and uncertainty were everywhere. Many international media outlets and rumors circulating among people were saying that an even bigger earthquake might strike soon.

Because of this, the ICU nursing staff at the hospital where Dr. Mahara worked became extremely anxious.

Almost every day, some of the nurses would come to him and say they could not continue working in the ICU anymore.

They explained their fear:

Doctors could sleep outside the buildings or move away from the hospital if another earthquake happened.

But ICU nurses cannot simply leave their patients behind.
If they leave, critically ill patients connected to life-support machines could die.

Dr. Mahara realized that misinformation and fear were seriously affecting the morale of the ICU team.

So he called a meeting with the nursing staff and addressed the situation directly.

He told them something simple but powerful:

“I work in the same place you do. If something happens and you all die, I will die with you.”

Nepal’s Biggest Problem? “Thinking We Know Everything” | Dr Sunil Sharma
नेपालीहरूको सबैभन्दा ठूलो कमजोरी? “सबै कुरा आफूलाई थाहा छ भन्ने सोच” | डा. सुनील शर्मा
What is one of the biggest problems in our society?

In this thoughtful discussion on Beyond the WhiteCoat with Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma, Dr. Sunil Sharma shares what he believes is one of the most common flaws among people in Nepal — the tendency to think we know everything.

Dr. Sharma explains that expertise matters.

If someone is a doctor, their expertise should be in health and medical science. In the same way, experts in business, politics, or other professions should focus on their own areas of knowledge.

However, he observes that in many situations people often step into fields where they are not experts.

He gives several examples:

• Some doctors become deeply involved in politics or business without having real expertise in those areas.
• Some business people try to influence medical decisions despite not understanding medicine.
• Even within medicine, doctors sometimes give opinions outside their own specialty.

Dr. Sharma shares a simple example while speaking with Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma, a senior urologist.

He explains that if a urology-related question arises, it should be answered by the urology specialist — in this case, Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma — not by him.

Healthy Women, Healthy Society | Dr Uttam Kumar Sharma on Women’s Health
स्वस्थ महिला भनेको स्वस्थ समाज | डा. उत्तम कुमार शर्माको सन्देश
🌸 In the spirit of International Women’s Day, this message highlights why women’s health must be one of society’s highest priorities.
In this episode of Beyond the WhiteCoat, Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma shares an important perspective on the role of women in society.
He says that women are the creators and foundation of life — “महिला हरु सृष्टिका जननी र आधार हुन्।”
Because of this, the health of women is not only important for the individual woman herself, but also for everyone around her.
According to Dr. Sharma:
A woman’s health directly influences
• the health of her children
• the wellbeing of her family
• the strength of her community
• and ultimately the health of the entire nation.
When women are healthy, they are able to nurture healthier families and future generations.
That is why women’s health should never be ignored or overlooked.
Dr. Sharma emphasizes a simple but powerful truth:
Healthy women mean healthy mothers.
Healthy mothers mean healthier families.
And healthier families build a stronger society and country.

A Message for International Women’s Day | Dr Uttam Kumar Sharma & Dr Arjun Dev Bhatta
अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय महिला दिवसको सन्देश | डा. उत्तम कुमार शर्मा र डा. अर्जुन देव भट्ट
🌸 On this International Women’s Day, we share a powerful message about compassion, responsibility, and respect for women.
In this episode of Beyond the WhiteCoat, Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma speaks with Dr. Arjun Dev Bhatta about a lesson passed down from one of Dr. Sharma’s mentors — a message that has stayed with him throughout his life.
His mentor used to say something deeply meaningful:
“I hope no woman ever has to go through hardship in life — whether it is complications during pregnancy, domestic violence, or any form of suffering.”
But he would also add an important responsibility:
If you ever see a woman in your family or community facing such hardships and you choose to stand beside her, support her, and help her through that difficult time — then that act of compassion is greater than prayer itself.
According to his mentor, helping someone in need is one of the most powerful forms of humanity, and in such moments, you may not even need to pray to God — because your action itself becomes a form of devotion.
This message reminds us that respect for women is not only about words or celebrations on a single day.
It is about standing beside them in their moments of vulnerability and need.

तर उहाँले अर्को महत्वपूर्ण कुरा पनि भन्नुहुन्थ्यो।

How Maoist Propaganda Influenced Youth – Lesson for Medical Students | Dr Sunil Sharma
माओवादी आन्दोलन र युवाको सोच – मेडिकल विद्यार्थीका लागि पाठ | डा. सुनील शर्मा
In this thought-provoking conversation on Beyond the WhiteCoat with Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma, Dr. Sunil Sharma discusses how powerful early influence can shape the mindset of young people.

He reflects on Nepal’s history and explains how during the Maoist movement many young people — especially those aged 13–17 years — were strongly influenced by propaganda and ideological messaging from a very early age. Because they were exposed to these ideas during their formative years, many of them grew up deeply believing in those ideas and eventually acted on them.

This discussion references historical events such as the Maoist movement only as a social and educational example about how early influence shapes young minds.

Medical College Ragging Reality in Nepal | Dr Madhav Bhusal Speaks Out
नेपालका मेडिकल कलेजमा र्‍यागिङको वास्तविकता | डा. माधव भुसालको सन्देश
As CEE results are announced and thousands of students across Nepal begin admission into medical colleges, a new chapter of life begins for many aspiring doctors. But along with excitement, another reality often appears in the first few weeks of medical school — ragging.

In this important conversation on Beyond the WhiteCoat with Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma, Dr. Madhav Bhusal shares the reality he observes every year when a new MBBS batch starts.

However, Dr. Bhusal also explains that in the medical college where he works, he has actively tried to reduce such practices. Over time, he has noticed that violent ragging has decreased significantly, which shows that change is possible when seniors take responsibility.

He emphasizes an important distinction:

✔ Ragging is not acceptable.
✔ But respectful introduction between seniors and juniors can be important.

Dr. Bhusal shares a powerful warning: if a junior student ever feels like they don’t want to go to college anymore because of ragging, then things have already gone too far.

He also challenges a common justification used by some seniors — that ragging is a form of “discipline.”

तर मेडिकल कलेज सुरु भएको पहिलो हप्तामै देखिने अर्को वास्तविकता पनि छ — र्‍यागिङ।

Sleep Paralysis Is NOT a Ghost 😱 | Dr Pawan Sharma Explains
सुत्दा देखिने भूत होइन 😱 | डा. पवन शर्माको वैज्ञानिक व्याख्या
Ever experienced sleep paralysis?
You wake up.
Your body is frozen.
You feel pressure.
You may even see someone standing near you.
It feels 100% real.
But here’s the science 👇
Dr. Pawan Sharma (Assistant Professor of Psychiatry) explains:
✔ Sleep paralysis is NOT a disease
✔ It is NOT paranormal
✔ It happens during REM–Non REM transition
✔ Your brain wakes up before your body does
Your muscles are still in REM paralysis mode.
Your brain is partially dreaming.
That’s why hallucinations feel real.
This episode of Beyond the WhiteCoat with Prof. Dr. Uttam Kumar Sharma breaks fear with science.
Save this. Share this. Stop the myths.

सुत्दा आँखा खुल्यो…
तर शरीर चल्दैन?
कोठामा कोही भएको जस्तो महसुस हुन्छ?
भूत हो?
होइन।
यो दिमागको प्रक्रिया हो।
डा. पवन शर्मा (मनोचिकित्सा विशेषज्ञ) बताउनुहुन्छ:
✔ यो रोग होइन
✔ यो आत्मा/भूत होइन
✔ यो REM र non-REM निद्राको बीचको अवस्था हो
✔ दिमाग उठ्छ, शरीर अझै निद्रामा हुन्छ
त्यसैले देखिएको कुरा वास्तविक जस्तो लाग्छ।

Do you think Nepal’s scholarship quota system is fair, or does it need major reforms to truly help marginalized students? Share your thoughts 👇 दलित परिवारको पीडा: छोरीले छात्रवृत्ति गुमाइन् Dalit Family’s Struggle Exposes Flaw in Nepal’s Scholarship System
🎙️ On Beyond the WhiteCoat, Dr. Madhav Bhusal shares a heartbreaking real story he received in a public comment:
👉 A Dalit father, forced to migrate to India for survival, wrote that his daughter studied outside Nepal between classes 6–10. Because of this, she was excluded from Nepal’s scholarship quota system despite being from a marginalized background. Dr. Bhusal highlights: ✔ Such problems are invisible until they come out in real stories. ✔ The scholarship rules unintentionally punish the very families they are meant to support. ✔ Nepal’s education inequality, caste system, and quota policies need urgent reform.
This episode sheds light on the real struggles of Dalit students, the fairness of CEE quotas, and the challenges of medical education in Nepal.

Your Bones Are Like a Bank Account – Are You Going Bankrupt
Osteoporosis Explained Like a Bank Account 💰 | Dr Deepak Mahara’s Powerful Analogy
ओस्टियोपोरोसिस बैंक खाताजस्तै? 💰 | डा. दीपक महराको सरल तर शक्तिशाली उदाहरण
In this insightful talk, Dr Deepak Mahara explains osteoporosis using a simple but powerful bank analogy.
Imagine:
• One person deposits 200,000 in a bank.
• Another deposits 100,000.
• Both spend 100,000 daily.
Who goes bankrupt first?
The one who deposited less.
Similarly, your bone health works the same way.
Dr Mahara explains that:
• Peak bone mass is achieved before the age of 40
• The more calcium and bone strength you build early, the better protected you are later
• After 40, bone loss naturally increases
• What you gain may equal what you lose
That’s why early investment in bone health matters.
He emphasizes practical ways to increase calcium and bone strength:
• Weight-bearing exercises
• Strength training
• Proper nutrition
• Calcium-rich foods
• Vitamin D exposure
• Healthy lifestyle habits
Osteoporosis is silent — until fracture happens.
Start building your bone bank today.

“I Don’t Smoke, I Don’t Drink… Then Why Do I Have Cancer?” | Dr Uttam Kumar Sharma Explains
“म न त धूम्रपान गर्छु, न त मदिरा पिउँछु… अनि मलाई क्यान्सर किन भयो?” | डा. उत्तम कुमार शर्माको स्पष्टिकरण
Why Do Healthy People Get Cancer?
One of the most heartbreaking and honest questions patients ask Dr Uttam Kumar Sharma:
“Doctor, I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t abuse drugs… then why do I have cancer?”
In this powerful and emotional discussion, Dr Uttam explains that cancer is not caused only by smoking, alcohol, or substance abuse.
He discusses:
• Genetic predisposition
• Environmental exposures
• Random cellular mutations
• Pollution and lifestyle factors
• Aging and biological processes
Cancer is a multifactorial disease — not a punishment.
However, Dr Uttam also highlights an important and hopeful point:
Patients who do not smoke, drink, or abuse substances often have:
• Better treatment tolerance
• Stronger immunity
• Improved recovery capacity
• Fewer complications
• Better long-term prognosis

Fake Baba Removing Kidney Stones Without Surgery? | Urologist Dr Uttam Reacts
शल्यक्रिया बिना किड्नी स्टोन निकाल्ने बाबा? | युरोलोजिस्ट डा. उत्तमको प्रतिक्रिया
A viral video claims that a mystery Indian healer can remove kidney stones by simply pinching the lower abdomen and pulling out 8–9 stones — without surgery, without procedures, without medical treatment.
Is this medically possible?
Dr Uttam, a senior urologist and kidney transplant surgeon with over 30 years of experience performing thousands of kidney stone surgeries, reacts to this shocking claim.
He clearly explains:
• Kidney stones form inside the urinary tract
• They cannot be “pulled out” from the skin
• This is anatomically impossible
• Such acts are deceptive and dangerous
• Delaying real treatment can damage kidneys

Kidney stones can cause:
• Severe flank pain
• Blood in urine
• Infection
• Kidney damage
• Emergency hospitalization
Trust science. Trust evidence-based medicine.
Do not risk your life for viral tricks.
