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...

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...

Xbox ONE

I have recently purchased the newest version of Microsoft's gaming consoles, the Xbox One . This is a shift from my prior gaming system which was Sony's PS3 . I loved PS3 and preferred it over Xbox 360 for many reasons. It was smarter looking, faster, could play Blu rays, good games and all my friends had PS3s. However the most like able thing about it was the free online game play that Microsoft does not allow. Things I did not appreciate in Sony were its user interface. The move bundle was a waste of money for all intent and purposes as I used it once in the past two years. So this time around I decided to go with Microsoft's game console. The decision was not easy. Obviously PS4 has some good press out there and it is a step forward in technology. However now Xbox can play blu rays too. Also now both consoles require a subscription service for online game play. This sort of made me feel like Sony didn't care for us anymore. I guess paying money might mean better e...
