Are you uncomfortable looking a special needs person in the eye?
Our son is autistic and nonverbal. We go out walking and shopping. That is his socialization. I notice that most of the people are uncomfortable looking him in the eye. They do not want to be accused of staring, so the safer approach is to ignore him, trying to send a polite message, "I did not even notice you are different." That ends up being counterproductive. I wish people would look him in the eyes, smile, and say hello to him. He may not be able to return the pleasantries, but I know it makes him happy. It makes him feel like he is part of the society at large.
Next time you see a person with special needs: Look them in the eye. Say hello. Believe me, they appreciate it.
I'd love to hear from other parents or individuals—what has your experience been?

During Covid, I felt that I could not give my patients an honest opinion on vaccine without being labeled a Democrat or a republican. I am feeling the same kind of pressure when they are asking me for my opinion on new food pyramid. I will give you my opinion if you would give me yours

The year was 2013. Vegas was still reeling from the effects of Great Recession and many had started doubting the resolve of this great city. That is the year we moved here and started providing Primary Care and Cardiology services. We have since taken care of more than 17,500 community members and the community has reciprocated with their love. Happy to be here!!

Kudos to Facebook for suspending 'fact checking'. If 'fact checking' would have been brutally effective, we would still be believing that Sun revolves around the earth. Remember Galileo who died while under house arrest. His crime- he told the world that the prevailing 'fact' of that time that whole universe revolves around the earth was WRONG.

Here is a one-and-a-half minute video that we posted on this page in April 2020, the very early days of pandemic. The first step towards using science for the service of humanity is to ask some thoughtful questions. The questions that many may not be asking at a given time. Watch.

Of the 75 million Americans who have hypertension, almost half do not have the condition under control. About 11 million of them don’t know their blood pressure is too high. In many cases, blood pressure is not appropriately managed due to some diagnostic challenges like ‘White coat hypertension’ and ‘masked hypertension’. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can help overcome some of these challenges.
Continuing with our mission of offering the best to our community, we are now offering ABPM.
