Loan . Sale . Clearance . Eye

Hi!
There are 65 definition merely to define blindness . Like seriously ? This shows our so called World Health Organisation has some philosophers and MANY literature enthusiasts who show their prowess in jumbling words to form new definitions .



The picture attached below highlights some serious issue. But who is donating? As a Muslim , I don't think I will. But some fatwas not many know about declare it legal in Islam shariat.
There is a lot of counselling to be done at student level . Inspite of being a medical student , I am reluctant to this what about the rest?  


The emphasis of medical schools should also be on serious issues like organ donation which many professors themselves are hesitant about. 


No donation is promoted except for blood donation . That too is encouraged on the safe grounds , give it now - but it from your own body in a short span. 

I would like to share about an incident with you , as you all have been VERY kind in bearing up with the post for so long .
Not so long ago , I had participated in a poster presentation ( no boasting) on organ donation. We made a digital poster with all sorts of latest technology . We took away all the pulp from the web. The judge came, asked us to talk about . We spoke over at a length and emphasising on the latest developments in the field. 

He asked us a question , name the organisation(s) working actively on donation in our country . As it was an impromptu . I was blank, wondering where did bouncer came from . He smiled. I was bewildered. He told - Mohan foundation. ( I had not even HEARD about it. ) Then he asked me about Jeevan Dan later , which I am glad I answered . You know what it is?
Comment below.


K then
Too much of ophthalmology for today.

Experience Based Co Design : BCT Series XXIX

  "Experience-Based Co-Design" we have all witnessed its essence unknowingly . My family home is the example I can reflect on .Growing up I didn't like how my house was designed. We (the whole extended family) wanted my dad to sell the house . Dad let his architect friend design our house and would not sell his house (for obvious reasons!). Mum had to balance out the situation so she decided to make small changes. So, it was one change idea each year .She would talk to us individually and listen to our perspective and review her sphere of influence and the impact /utility the idea had.For my siblings the colors were not welcoming while I pointed the flooring. Mum wanted the stairs to be personalised. My grandparents wanted certain conveniences around the toilets. It took her about 4-5 years to make the house a home that was acceptable . From color preferences to spatial arrangements, each family member contributed insights. The lovely thing about it was , the keystakehold...

Parallel Universe : BCT Series XXX

  Two moments in the ED this week made me realize that I come from a parallel universe. One involved a teenage patient who had applied bronzer that I found while cleaning her skin for a IV cannula which left me surprised as I come from a part of the world where teenagers paint their skin with whitening agents to look more attractive. The second moment was during my teaching session on Organophosphorous poisoning, where I wondered if my accent was causing disengagement . However, I learned that it was simply a rare presentation of organophosphorous poisoning in this part of the world. It felt like I was narrating my adventures from a tropical trek! Have you ever had a moment where your cultural background clashed with your environment ?

" Consulting a psychiatrist would be a question mark on my spirituality " Said the patient.

Hello everybody  I hope everybody is safe and healthy. it's been a while that I've been receiving lot of patients in the emergency with mental illness ,thought of sharing an incident of its kind. Not sure if its the awareness of mental health these days or the pandemic, I am developing keen interest in patients with mental illness .I try to take an extra effort to make them feel comfortable and try to create an insight of what is happening and offer them options of what all can be done.  Since this it seems like a step towards patient care , I thought I'd share it here as well. This would probably not be the best approach but I welcome any type of constructive criticism , additions or subtraction to my approach because end of the day we are here for best patient care. A 50 years plus old gentleman ,presented to the emergency with the complaints of chest pain radiating to left arm , breathing difficulty, choking sensation in the throat, inability to open his ey...
