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...

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...
