I saw this discussion going on yesterday
Wasn't able to comment for various reasons
There is a lot to unpack here so let's take a step back & look at this objectively & subjectively.

 Objectively - the original person is upset because of the way her doctor treated her. She is well within her right to complain & seek alternative options. The person QTing her commented with some friend's comment (hearsay) there by steering the narrative to where she wanted it
Everything else and I mean EVERYTHING else is subjective. If you agree with me till this point then we can carry on. Else I'm afraid you are wasting your time reading on

So let's look at this subjectively. This is where I feel the core of most of the disagreements yesterday were
This is my subjective view

Should the doctor in question have used more appropriate language in her history taking (questioning)?

Yes I feel so. It could have been worded better definitely. We can always improve we can always learn
Sex & marriage are not mutually dependent
However
This is where things get dicey
I know nothing of the people involved
I don't know the background of the people involved
Could both the doctor & the patient be a victim of their upbringing/cultural differences?
We don't know this. Easy to judge both from our own bias.
What if the doctor is from a conservative background culturally? We know that education is not at all connected to liberal or conservative views.
Can we hold it against the doctor for being like that? Depends on our own bias & where we stand in the cultural spectrum.
Let's go back to the questioning itself.

Since I've worked abroad my approach
would have been different. Just after coming back to India had a patient who I asked "are you sexually active"

The immediate reply with righteous indignation was "how dare you I'm not married!"
🤷‍♂️
Now that patient is obviously upset with me. Who knows if she posted the incident on social media. What might have been the response?

This is a delicate issue. And it definitely could have been handled better by a person who claims to be a journalist QTing the original post.
"History taking" is very important in medicine. I can only speculate what the doctor had in mind when asking "are you married"

Off the top of my head the choice of contraception suggested might be different if it was a fixed partner vs multiple partners.
Maybe asking "are you married" seemed more polite than asking "will you be having 1 partner or multiple partners"?
Contraception is not only for preventing pregnancy but also to prevent STDs
So if the doctor was thinking like that then what is wrong with that line of questioning?
Again this is how I might have approached it. But like I said all of this is subjective and speculation. We aren't hearing from the doctor in question. So ... 🤷‍♂️
At the end of the day it is far easier for us to imagine the worst in someone than to consider the good in someone.

I'm not saying all doctors are completely innocent. There are bad apples in every field. But I want to believe the good outnumber the bad by a massive margin 🙏

Lately there have been various rumours in the media about myself and Jumbo in relation to Williams. To clarify things, Jumbo is not and will not invest any money in my career. 1/2

Of course we’re collectively looking at career opportunities, however this is certainly not our philosophy and strategy. I hope to announce my future plans soon, be patient 😉 2/2

HORANADU ANNAPOORNESHWARI, CHIKMAGALUR (KAR)
#bharatmandir

Annapoorneshwari is the Devi of nutrition and food. The literal meaning of Annapoorneshwari is “Feeding one and all”. Anyone who comes here is offered meals and shelter within the premises.
@LostTemple7


Maharshi Agastya is believed to have done pratishtha here.

Once, Shiva and Parvati had an argument. Shiva declared everything in the world including food to be Maya or illusion. To prove him wrong, Devi Parvati disappeared resulting in entire Earth becoming still.


Taking pity, Devi appeared as Annapoorna and relieved everyone.
Another belief is that once Shiva beheaded Brahma and his skull got stuck in Shiva’s hand. He was cursed that till the skull is not full of food or grains, it will remain stuck to his hands.


Shiva went everywhere and asked for food but the skull was never full. He finally came here and Maa Annapoorna filled the skull with grains and reversed Shiva’s curse.

It is believed that who ever visits Devi Annapoorna here will never be without food in their lives.

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.

2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here:

3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.


4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.

That estimate is from 2012.

5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.

I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
