World Thyroid Day celebrated doing what I do best — sharing the nuances of safe thyroid surgery and the lessons that help me sleep well after every thyroidectomy.

Had a wonderful time at the CME on Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery at Believers Church Hospital, Thiruvalla. Presented my video on safe thyroid surgery, exchanged ideas, and most importantly, met friends old and new.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute, connect, and continue striving for safer surgery and better patient care.

No, most ni**le discharge cases are harmless. But bloody or persistent discharge should never be ignored.

Grateful to be on the faculty panel at the SGPGI Breast Course, discussing the complexities of young and pregnancy-associated breast cancers, topped with an insightful rapid-fire session.
