24.
   Long absence from the blogging scene yet again. This time around it has been due to load of work and the serial 24. Well I would say more so because of the later cause. 24 is such an addictive thriller adventure serial that one cant resist watching the season in one go. I almost missed two morning rounds because of the addiction. And those that I did attend in the past week were all bleary eyed and muzzy.
   GS3 subrotation is finally over. It was a real nightmare for me. All the good work done in Urology went to drain in this one. After rotating through this subrotation I have recognized various problems and shortcomings in the way these people like to conduct their proceedings.
1)Some of the doctors are too terrifying for students to have a working and learning relationship with them.
2)Residents are ill equipped with the teaching skills.
3)Not all the residents want to incorporate students actively in the patient management process.
4)Residents are too careless and themselves come to the hospital for spending time and pay least attention to serious work.
5)Students being at the bottom of authority pyramid become the target of all the anger and frustration.
6)Inner rifts between the teams prevent an efficiently working environment.
7)Women can never take effective control of any situation.
8)Work load is unequally distributed amongst students.
9)Residents never bother to reply to pagers.
   Having said all this I must admit that not all students are responsible enough to take control of situations and emerge as true winners from adverse ones. There are short comings on both sides of the table and no one is ready to come forward and take control of the situation. Just as people before me I have passed through the torture and so will those who are to follow.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...

Tax skirting by hospital systems?

The issue of avoiding federal taxes is in the news these days with Apple being in the spotlight.  Most of the times big companies avoid paying US taxes by skirting their profits to tax havens.  Healthcare giants can do the same theoretically.  Imagine if there were a health care giant that opens up shop in tax haven islands and then uses the same technique that commercial entities use to skirt their profits out of the country, thereby avoiding taxes.  This is very much possible.  The of shore clinics can be potentially used to complicate the tax return filing system here in US.  I could never understand why a completely US hospital system would like to open up a clinic in Bahamas.  These clinics are portrayed as the global reach of the entity but who do they actually serve.  We never hear about them in press or public.  These clinics are apparently manned by some doctors we never hear about.  How does this system work?  I really do...
