I am supposed to be watching my dermatology slides right now but i am not rather bloging. I can bet that it is much more fun than doing the former.

May God help me with that. Ameen.

Although dermatology looks like a field with nothing much to it yet clinics for students are busy especially when you have vey critical doctor consultant ready to punce upon mistakes and give you the treatment you don't deserve. Had to make a presentation on "Sexually transmitted diseases". This looked loke quite simple a task but as it turnes out nothing is very simple in this complicated world. acha g so it happens that i finish my presentation at 1pm in the night and the night happens to be that of first ramadan.

Height Matters knowing that standing tall adds fiscal benefits to life is much more reassuring. Atleast thats what one study shows. Those who are tall earn more than those who aren't. Greater height boosts subjective ratings of work performance, including supervisors� evaluations of how effective someone is on the job, and also raises objective measures of performance, such as sales volume. Every inch in vertical adds 789 dollars per annum to the purse. So standing at 72 inches i have much better prospects of a wealthy life than many of my collegues hummmmmmmmmmmm.

Alija izetbegovic dies The leader who lead the bosnian muslims in the war of independence in 1992-95 has died. He was 78. He once said In 1997 that "the West is not rotten. Islam is the best, that is true, but we are not the best. Instead of hating the West, let us compete with it. Let's have a dialogue with it." And i see it stands true to this day.

These findings were presented in the annual meeting of the European Respiratory Society in Vienna. Scientists believe that infants who have been on antibiotic courses had 2.5 times more chances of developing asthma than those who had had no such treatment. But they say that this does not mean that children shouldn't receive antibiotics rather doctors should be prudent in their use. via scientific american.

"Just get stuck in what you are interested in. Don't get stopped by the fear that you are studying medicine, although lots of people will try to scare you. Good doctors grow out of people who dare to try new things and get involved in important issues, not from people who live in fear of getting a few percent lower than their best in the exams. Be brave and commit yourself to something new and exciting_ you will be amazed by the rewards that you will get in friendship, in skills and in opportunities." ---Tim Rittman.
