CCJ
   Many of you who read this page either by chance or by rotten bad luck don't know what these three letters stand for. But for clarifying exactly that i am here. CCJ stands for Chenab College Jhang _ my school. The place where i have been brought up trained and educated all at the same time. Its an awsome place. You should visit it sometime i am sure you will enjoy your visit. Loads of good people to meet and talk to.
   Well this time around i went there with a purpose. Since Medicine is a difficult career thus i thought i must give all those students who wish to become doctors one day a glimpse of what it is like to become a doctor. Share some experiences as a medical student. Tell them where is the best chance to be a good doctor. Tell them what it takes to become a good doctor. Familiarize them with the concept of research and its importance in medicine. So i went ahead made a small powerpoint presentation and delivered it in front of a healthy gathering of school boys and girls. Everyone was keen at listening to what i said during two hours of my lecture. Mind you i planned to go no more than 30 minutes initially but then interactive sessions cant be restricted when both presenters and those taking the presentations are keen at learning something.
   With this jist in my mind i gave them little facts about the profession and mixed this information with loads of good pieces of advice. I think there were a few who took the message as it was meant to be and there were few who might have taken it better.
   I identified a few problems with the presentation that i will improve next time i am given a chance to present from the same forum. Initially the talk was meant to be a generalized discussion about medicine but then due to my own constricted knowledge and the interest of the audience it shifted to mainly talking about AKU. I don't mind that at all if my listeners want to talk about AKU then its fine by me. But i wish i could have given them more advice on medicine as a whole.
   It was an honour to be presenting something of this kind in my school. This shows two things. First, the administration is open to new ideas and is always looking forward to improving the quality of education at any cost. Second, people in my school love me and remember me and trust me. I am telling you it is such an upbeat feeling to have. If i am something _ anything today, i am because of my good teachers and mentors. I just wish i could have given them more in less time. Will improve the next time i do this. Will try to make it a regular feature for all those coming to my school in the future. All these efforts on my part to make sure next time some one makes a decision about taking up medicine as a career in his life he doesn't repent it the rest of his life.

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...
