Unacceptable negligence and lack of supervision at GMC Bambolim Patients are being treated like test subjects

I need to vent and raise awareness about what's happening at GMC Bambolim. My aunt recently underwent a major eye surgery there to have a lens placed.

While other patients who were admitted on the same day for similar procedures were discharged, my aunt was kept behind. When the doctor finally came back to check on her, we were shocked to learn that the lens had been placed incorrectly.

Instead of correcting this issue immediately, she has been left waiting, lying in the ward for the past two days with no immediate plan to fix the error.

GMC is supposed to be a premier medical facility, but it feels like a total joke right now. While it is a teaching hospital, trainees should be strictly supervised by senior doctors during any surgical procedure. People are not experimental subjects for trainees to practice on. The complete lack of accountability and empathy from the staff is alarming.

Has anyone else experienced similar negligence or issues with post op care at GMC recently? How did you get senior doctors to take action?

Bribes portal taken down. We need a Goan alternative.

In less than 48 hours the bribe reporting portal has been taken down. The people who started the site claim it was their decision but we all know what happened here. Indian authorities are allergic to anything that shines a light on their misdeeds.

We need a Goan alternative for this. After all when was the last time you saw bribery investigation done by any Goan newspaper.

Bollywood actor's car injures Goans

Bollywood actor Ashwin Mushran and his wife has landed in a major controversy following a road accident in Goa. The incident reportedly occurred around 12:30 pm on August 16th in Quepem.

They were overtaking on a curve and hit a father-son duo on the bike. Both were severely injured and in hospital with a part of the father's leg bone lodged in the car.

The controversy started when they confronted locals instead of helping the injured people. They first got defensive saying the driver was a local. Quepem police later booked the driver, Vasant Puttappa Laman for negligence.

The car was clearly driving on the wrong side of the road and they didn't accept any responsibility. They first blamed the biker who was in their lane. They claimed that even though their car was MH registration, they were Goans. Buying a second-home in Goa doesn't make one a Goan.

Later when a crowd gathered, they got into a verbal altercation and the wife of the actor allegedly spat at the local ward leader Amol Kanekar. They soon departed to attend an event. The actor dropped by later to apologise but the locals say it lacked sincerity.

This kind of high-handed behaviour has no place in any society.

How to help my 64yo dad transition from heavy welding/fabrication labor to teaching (or other ideas?)

Hi everyone,

My dad is 64 years old and has decades of experience in welding and heavy fabrication. He’s incredibly skilled, but as he's getting older, the physical toll of the manual labor is just becoming too much for him. I really want him to step back from the heavy lifting before he gets hurt or totally worn out.
I’ve been thinking about helping him transition into teaching.

The idea would be to set up a small training program here in India where he could teach basic to advanced welding to apprentices, hobbyists, or people looking to enter the trade, charging them a monthly fee.

I'd love to get some advice from this community

Has anyone transitioned from welding into teaching their own classes?

Are there other paths that would allow him to use his decades of expertise without breaking his back? I've briefly thought about things like QA/QC, consulting, or estimating, but I'm open to anything.

If you've helped an older parent transition out of a heavy trade, what worked and what didn't?
Any advice, suggestions, or insights would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

Relaxing Spot in Goa

We went to Goa last month and explored alot of places. I think alot of people might already know about this place but still shoot your shot in North Goa.
It’s a chill spot for picnic, you can swim, or just sit by the beach or lake and watch sunset or even go for a nearby hike.

a writer looking for good conversation over a few/many beers

25M, working as creative writer at an advertising agency.

I’m in Goa for the next 2 days and honestly just looking to switch off, have a few beers, and meet some good people.

Open to joining a group or meeting up with individuals, guys or girls. Just looking for easy conversations, good company, and a relaxed evening.

Been way too stressed lately, so figured Goa was probably the right place to disappear for a bit.

If anyone’s up for a drink and a chat, drop me a message.

(I'm staying near anjuna beach)

Gramophones?

Looking for a bit of a time machine in Goa :)
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a classic, hand wound gramophone. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in perfect working condition, or even fully intact.
Ideally a good antique or a brand new vintage style replica if anyone knows where I could find one in Goa.

Aerocity in Mopa?!

The central government social media handles are pushing the idea of a Goa Aerocity. A 230-acre master plan that targets full completion by 2030 as a multi-phase development. This Aerocity at Manohar International Airport (Mopa) is planned as an airport-led urban district integrating tourism, hospitality, business, logistics and lifestyle infrastructure.

i.e. the government is planning a Vegas style casino city for India's rich.

Why weren't the locals consulted about this?!

P. S. This isn't news. It's a social media post that was inviting investors into Goa.
