Ghulab Jaman.
   I have been taking my time in writing my posts so that I have enough to fill atleast some space on the page. As for our adventure just yesterday we undertook the sweet fun of making ghulab jamans at our very own place of residence, that is, male hostel. The initial plan was to make about 24 pieces of art but we ended up making 50! How did that happen don't ask me_ ask Mujtaba, the senior cook. But they say everything has a good reason to it so did this error. Almost half the hostel had a taste of our delicious delicacy. I must admit to it that if ghulab jamans are served hot with shera dripping from everywhere they are much more tasty and will definitely burn your mouth!
   In other news I have registered for LIMSC. Still lots of things to take care of in rather short period of time. In these two weeks of imposed optimism I have rather done a lot in terms of completing tasks that were long overdue. Let us see how long this self imposition lasts.
   Free time is hard to come by but when it does it is such a blessing. Electives in radiology have been by far the best in terms of providing free time and I have not let any such chance go waste_ not a single chance. And during these chances I do honour the sports complex more regularly than ever before.
   Hah! All of us live in dreams_ fiction...

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...

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...
