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...

iPad 2

The new iPad is worth it's money. Sleek slender design is a plus and so is the light weight. I am not really impressed by the camera as the pictures with both front and back cameras are pixelated and very amateurish looking. It's handy in the sense that I can carry it around while making rounds and access patient information on the go. This makes life easier and for someone like myself this means much less paper waste. I think one added advantage is that I will waste less time on writing down all the information on a piece of paper every morning and will be able to pull it up anytime I want to do so or need to do so. This gives me more time to think and reflect on the patient and spend more time with the patient rather than time in front of a bulky computer. There are new apps I am discovering every day. However there is still dearth of good medical apps that have been modeled for iPad. This makes the productivity of the iPad a little less but still the benefits of having a w...

Elections '08

Parliamentary Elections are just 12 hours away in Pakistan. Unlike all previous elections i have reached the voting age for these elections. Now i can use my right to vote to select a candidate that i think represents future and progress. I can be part of the democratic process. I can be a miniature vector of change or towards change. But i will not use my right to vote. that means i will not participate in the process of electing representatives who will rule my country and my fate for the next five years, even more if they get their way like this present dictator, Musharraf. In doing so i will loose my right to object to any actions of the 'elected', more so selected representatives of this country. but this can be debated and in most probability i will not pass from any opportunity to pointing out wrong doings and mischief in the character of those who lead my unfortunate country in the future. I will not vote because i know the outcomes of the elections have been pr...
