Words: Dr Richard FIRSHEIN Jane was silent for a moment, and then looked at me with a mixture of hope, surprise, and bitterness. “You mean there are things I could have been taking all along to stop my premenstrual syndrome [PMS]?” she asked. “I’m not sure I believe you.” Like Jane, most women aren’t told
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR It would be too superfluous to say that the cause of civility enjoys token lip-service. In fact, impoliteness, or rudeness, has become a badge of individual growth.

Dr Mohit SANDHU responds to ThinkWellness360 questionnaire. Why and how did you think of becoming a doctor?
