Welcome To Our Family

When I started talking about the threat to our profession and humanity forty years ago, my friends and colleagues thought I was crazy and mad. Now you can see how the families have been ripped apart, bankrupting businesses and nations. The lives of billions of people have been affected by these "Mirascopic enemies." The duty of a doctor is not "Saving Lives" but to offer a service to alleviate pain and suffering and protect humanity.

Why am I asking you to help me? And how can answering the questions help our profession and you?

My teacher once asked me a simple question "Why did I spend the best years of my life studying, passing numerous examinations, and qualify as a doctor?". My answer, like others, "I want to save a life." He laughed and said, "You are not God to save a life but use the knowledge and experience to alleviate pain and suffering and "Postpone Death."

My teacher Dr. Haliday Smith, in Hammersmith In 2003, made me the doctor I am today. When she asked me to "Examine a Child," I picked up my stethoscope and started walking toward the child. She rushed, snatched my stethoscope, and told me, "I asked you to EXAMINE the child, not AUSCULTATE." Yes, I was shocked, and not knowing what to do, I went to see the child, listened to the story of the child's illness, palpated and purcussed, and noticed Dr. Smith walk toward me. She listened to the story and finding from the clinical examination. When I finished and told her I found the pulse was collapsing and felt bruit in the chest and back. She gave me my stethoscope and said no, "CONFIRM" your diagnosis.

I worked as a junior, senior registrar, and staff in acute pediatrics, neonatology, and intensive care, for over thirty years. It was here I had to master the skill of clinical examination and acquire the skill to diagnose and treat seriously infected, ill babies and children.

My mission was to help create a tool to share my knowledge and experience to empower people to conquer the fear of self-diagnosis and reduce the culture of dependency on doctors for advice on managing common illnesses. I felt the "Social inequalities in Health" brought us shame.

I have been very innovative and started writing computer programs using basic language. Initially, I created a program to help me calculate total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in 1984, and then Paediatric Assessment Tool (PAT) to help junior doctors learn to differentiate "Minor from Serious Illness", to help reduce wasted admission to hospitals.

Life journey is not as you think or plan. Hurdles obstruct, and at times we fall into a deep hole and have to start crawling and survive.

I was asked to teach nurses to diagnose infections and offer a prescription for antibiotics. Initially, I thought it was a good idea, but I soon realized how abusing antibiotics could kill our profession. I was not wrong. The article " How COVID-19 is accelerating the threat of antimicrobial resistance " explains the gravity of our situation.

Unfortunately, we as a physician do not have complete clinical independence in deciding upon the care of a person for whom we are medically responsible. We also have forgotten our fundamental role is to alleviate the distress of our fellow human beings. No motive, whether personal, collective or political, shall prevail against this higher purpose."

WE MUST WAKE UP, JOIN HANDS, AND FIGHT

When our profession and family have been ripped apart by microscopic enemies, we must stand up and fight this war; knowingly; we may never win. I warned about "The Tsunami of Bugs" all my life and spent years trying to think of an alternative strategy to help protect us and humanity, but I failed. The best solution is to "Initially identify an infected individual and isolate them" and not quarantine or lockdown a country. People in power used this strategy to protect their institutions, not the lives of people and healthcare workers.

And the so-called drugs do not perform miracles; what can we do? It's not only the lives of our patients, staff, family, and friends. Our lives are threatened. Most doctors, chemists, and people I talk to do not believe what I say is real. The directors of CDC have been blunt and honest, and I think we must start preparing. The President of China has begun building a 1000-bed hospital to house people quarantined with Coronavirus, and I hope other countries start preparing now so that patients can be isolated.

People in power blame pharmaceutical companies for not investing and developing new treatments and doctors for abusing antibiotics. We know this will not solve the problem, but changing how we offer an appointment and consult will. Healthcare advice and treatment are not based on statistical data; it is individualized. A person who reports a story of an illness, as they have lived and experienced it, constantly varies.

Jerome Groopman wrote, "Patient care is offered based on statistically significant data. An algorithm-based computer program can replace doctors. IBM has invested $$billions creating "Whatson," and numerous companies are claiming Artificial Intelligence" is the future for healthcare. Scary, but none can replace our service because nothing in healthcare is 100% right, so the software can make serious errors that can inflict pain, suffering, and even death.

My Story

Soon after I graduated from medical school in the 1980s, I realized people living in villages in India were very ignorant about health and well-being. It was not easy to make them come to my clinic in a town and trust modern medicine could help them get better. Once we demonstrated how we could cure common infections like Typhoid, Malaria, Pneumonia, and Tuberculosis and prevent death from sepsis, people started consulting doctors.

This problem existed in the UK, Europe, and the USA from the 1940-1950s. People were also aware of the Plague and Spanish flu epidemics that killed millions and were mindful of infections killing more people than the world wars. To increase cash flow, the doctors in the UK were publishing posters and scaring people about diseases. The effect of such a callous attitude toward abusing antibiotics has resulted in creating and helping bacteria develop resistance and spread all over the world.

How And Why Did This Happen?

Doctors in my generation must have listened and stopped these doctors like me who raised concern in the late 1980s, but not many believed nor supported us. I printed a small flyer explaining "MRSA creating an army of bugs that we cannot kill"- and distributed them in the international trade fair "Medica 2005 and 2006". Unfortunately, our effort was in vain, and the result is undeniable. Twenty-eight bacteria, numerous viruses, fungi, parasites, pests, and even insects are resistant to every chemical we invented.

The bugs adapt to new drugs and treatments even before they are manufactured for distribution and use. No company has come forward to invest in developing a new drug since 1986, and so the closet of drugs is almost dry.

We invite healthcare professionals and patients to join our network to fight the threat to humanity and our profession.

We are doctors who did all we could to defend our profession and our ethics and are now preparing to reclaim your "FREE WILL."

The media has been talking about failing healthcare, blaming doctors, reducing funding, delays in consultation, and systemic failure. Yes, patients are made to wait for six to eight weeks to consult a doctor. This prolonged waiting is not because there is a massive shortage of doctors but spending more time writing notes, performing tests and investigations, and referring patients to a hospital specialist.

After returning to work as a GP, we worked in the Urgent Care Centres, NHS 111 triage centers, and Surgery to identify causes and help "Save the NHS."

We are not a great fan or strongly support this institution, but it is vital to help save NHS to cope with the epidemics and pandemics that can kill millions shortly.

Our Mission is to "Protect You & Protect Us"

The Problem

Pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, and health insurance providers are the major contributors to the treasury. This is what politicians claim as "Return on Investment."

Healthcare is a profession driven by emotions, and patients who consult trust us and do not think for themselves. They are often desperate to find a cure and expect us to offer it. Unfortunately, not many know we seldom cure illness but can only prevent complications.

After inventing antibiotics in the late 1940s, doctors abused this drug to increase cash flow, so now the closet of drugs is almost dry. By a combination of massive inadvertence and what can only be called stupidity, we must now invent new and effective antibiotics faster than deadly bacteria evolve - and regrettably, they are rapidly doing so with our help. I do not exclude the possibility that bad actors might deliberately engineer deadly superbugs. But even if that does not happen, humanity faces an existential threat mainly of its own making in the absence of malign intentions.

Bill Gates pointed out that one of the costliest disasters of the 20th century, worse even than World War I, was the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-19.

The article's author, Ezra Klein, said, "No one can say we weren't warned. And warned. And warned. A pandemic disease is the most predictable catastrophe in the history of the human race, if only because it has happened to the human race so many, many times before."

Even with effective new medicines, if we can devise them, we must contain outbreaks of bacterial disease fast, lest they get out of control. In other words, we have a social-organizational challenge and a strictly medical one. That means getting sufficient amounts of medicine into the right hands and places.

Responsible governments and cooperative organizations have options, but even individuals can contribute something. To that end, as medical doctors, we have created computer software, app, and published book to educate people and enable a network to help doctors and other healthcare professionals communicate with each other to prevent any outbreak from spreading widely.

But first, let us review the situation; for a while, it has become well known to many people there is a general resistance to acknowledging the severity and imminence of the danger.

Knowing there is no way we can create or develop a new drug that can kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, malaria, and TB. We are unable to sterilize equipment and endoscope. Minor surgical procedures like intra-muscular injection, cannulation, and catheterization will be challenging to perform as anti-septics fail to clean the skin.

The CT and MRI Scanners are said to be colonized with superbugs and fungi that cannot be killed. The situation is threatening humanity, our profession, and our lives.

We must warn people about the danger, but people in power have gagged us, so we cannot share information about prevailing infections in the hospitals. Knowing it is unethical, we are made to suffer in silence.

In 2015, the Ebola infection killed more doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers than the general population. This is not likely to be a one-off epidemic, but soon we will start seeing similar scenarios worldwide.

The people in power and fellow humans praise our effort, but no one has come forward to guarantee the protection of our family and us. What will you do if you are infected because a patient who walked into consult you has an emerging infection with a mortality rate of 90%?

About The Network

Our network was created to help build a diverse healthcare workforce by providing free advising resources, tools, and peer-support forums to those who would otherwise not have access to such services.
As a doctor working in hospitals, clinics, or Surgery, we must stop blaming the shortage of doctors, funds, increasing patient demand, and other causes for failing to provide the service we promised.
Doctors working in an institution that claims to be the best healthcare provider, "The National Health Service (NHS") in the UK, are stressed, exhausted, abused, and scared.
The doctors are expected to follow guidelines, reach targets and offer treatment to demanding patients, knowing the drugs may do more harm than good.
The second-largest employer in the world that employs one in five-person living in the UK is struggling to survive.
We created this tool to help protect humanity and you from the threat of emerging and treatment-resistant bacterial infections, boost your morale and bring back the lost human face of medicine.
Lack of investment by the government, support by the General Medical Council, and increasing demands are crippling this institution that claims to be the "Best Healthcare Service" in the world.
Politicians live under an illusion of "Theoretical idealism, without understanding the practical reality of providing a safe and cost-effective method to offer healthcare."
Raising a concern, publishing articles, and organizing research to prove a systemic failure in primary care and hospitals has destroyed the lives of honest doctors who work with integrity.
One hundred fourteen doctors committed suicide because the General Medical Council subjected them to harassment and humiliation.

The World Medical Association Declaration

The physician shall not countenance, condone or participate in all forms of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.
The physician shall not provide any premises, instruments, substances, or knowledge to facilitate cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or diminish the fellow human's ability to resist such treatment.
The physician shall not be present during any procedure, or other forms of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment are used or threatened.
A physician must have complete clinical independence in deciding upon the care of a person for whom he or she is medically responsible. The physician's fundamental role is to alleviate the distress of his or her fellow human beings, and no motive, whether personal, collective, or political, shall prevail against this higher purpose.
The World Medical Association claim to support and encourage the international community, the National Medical Associations, and fellow physicians to help the physician and his or her family in the face of threats or reprisals resulting from a refusal to condone the use of torture or other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, but they don't.

Who Are We Serving?

We bring together thousands of doctors, medical students, and other healthcare professionals into one community to share information, offer guidance, and provide encouragement.

Doctors are considering taking a break in their career because they are burnt out or need a gap year, struggling with the intensity of their family, financial or work-related stress; you can find someone who understands what they're facing.

Doctors who are stressed cannot cope with carrying the emotional baggage of others who seek help.

Doctors are self-employed, and so illness can result in loss of income. They can start working in the supermarket, driving a taxi, or changing their careers after acquiring knowledge and experience.

We have been through a journey that no doctor on earth must be subjected to. No human can comprehend the trauma, and so are creating this network to protect you.

The World Medical Association claims but does not support and encourage the international community, the National Medical Associations, and fellow physicians to help the physician and his or her family in the face of threats or reprisals resulting from a refusal to condone the use of torture or other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

Protecting You Protecting Us

"Hippocratic Oath."

To hold my teacher in this art equal to my parents; to make him a partner in my livelihood; when he needs money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the physician's oath, but to nobody else.

I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I administer poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course.

I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such craftsmen therein.

Into whatever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick and abstain from all intentional wrongdoing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of men or women, bond or free.

And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my work in my intercourse with men, and if it is what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.

Now, if I carry out this oath and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I fail it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.

Benefit To Doctors

We generate funds by offering services to fellow human and healthcare providers.

Doctors can earn money by sharing their knowledge, experience, and expertise with registered patients near home or in another country.

Junior or trained doctors can learn how to manage patients living in a developed nation and earn in £, $, or any currency. This will help doctors use the funds to travel, arrange fellowship, clinical attachment or get a temporary license to work as a doctor in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, or Europe.

We have worked on developing tools, testing hypotheses, and perfecting this project using our funds. We have used volunteers, a small team of part-time employees, and software and App developers.

We provide free access to healthcare professionals, patients, and at-cost resources to healthcare providers (hospitals, primary care, and ministry of health and health insurance providers).

Healthcare professionals can publish their photos, advertise their services, create their own Dr. Maya Apps, and create a database of patients living in any country.

To promote your service, people who use the healthcare providers' offer will be asked to offer testimonials, comments, and badges. Famous doctors' names and information will be published to encourage others to establish contact.

Promoting our book using the internet, media, and articles we publish will help people living in other countries contact you. You do not pay but can earn working at home.

How Can You Help Us?
