My New Job

I have been on a blog vacation because of various reasons. After my last post about MQM on this blog my access to blogger was blocked. I wasn't able to sign in till today.
Then i have been working the work that i have been trained to work. I am doing my house job at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS). It has been, so far, the worst experience in my life as a doctor. The experience is so bad that last night i was on call and all the time i was wondering on my luck and how it had spiralled down so badly over the past years. I was hoping that something would happen and i would die instead of being tortured again ad again and again, relentlessly.
The IQ level of this nation, especially the people at the helm of affairs, is so low and pathetic that it puts me to shame and makes me wonder, when will i die!
It is my firm belief that the DHQ Hospital Jhang is a much better place both in terms of learning experiences and efficiency in terms of the hospital, when we put both PIMS and DHQ Jhang together. It takes little effort now for anyone to see how bad the place is.
I have often wished and hoped that no patient has the bad luck of coming to PIMS. If you are a patient coming to PIMS then there is a 90% possibility that you will be not only neglected but mis-managed and be left to fate to take its hideous turns and kill you inch by inch step by step.
I know i can get into a lot of trouble if all this that i write comes into the notice of the so called, innumerable, directors of that God forsaken hospital. All the 'directors'_ be it additional, executive, sub, super_ have a vindictive mentality.
It is astonishing for me to note that media gives little coverage to the administrative mis-management and rape that these directors do to this hospital. I treat at least one or two so called 'protocol patients' everyday. These are the patients who have a say in this country and for their management the whole hospital just pours into the emergency. All tests are taken delivered and paid for instantaneously. Rooms become available instantaneously and families are entertained in the 'courtesy center' of the hospital. Contrast this to the plight of an ordinary man like myself. He will have to wait for doctors to see him in the emergency for hours. I know more than one patients who had to wait for more than a day for a doctor visit. One thing is for sure, don't come to PIMS expecting any management if you are not accompanied by at least two relatives who are by your side 24/7. If you don't have attendants with you you will not be treated!
All the tests that are ordered in the emergency are free of cost. So is most of the medicine. that is one good thing.

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...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

Pakistan Earthquake

It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
