QUOTABLE QUOTES
THE QUOTABLE QUOTES: I have narrated few conclusions and dictums from my 48 years of experiences from this world as QUOTES for people to know and follow if they wish so. 1) Luck is a sign of imperfection in life.I strive hard to be perfect to eliminate the luck.However,nobody is perfect and therefore everybody needs luck at some time in life. 2) Those who have faith in me,I never let them down, Those who betray me,I make their lives very miserable; Anyway,life is an illusion,death is a reality. 3) I speak neighter of revenge nor forgiveness; Oblivion is the only revenge and the only pardon. 4) It is better to be angry and fulfill your duty,rather than,be sober and neglect your duty. 5) Those who all the time find fault with the character of others;often have loose character themselves. 6) One should never feel very high all the time as […]
MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION
MEDICAL PROFESSION VERSUS CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT:(DOCTOR V/S CPA): As a qualified doctor of 20 years experience,I am a better person to comment on this controversial issue.At the outset,I want to say that I deplore CPA and condemn criminal charge of negligence against a doctor. 1)The relationship between a doctor and a patient is a matter of faith and trust and CPA destroys this pious relationship. 2)There was a time when a doctor was considred next to the God because of his ability to relieve human suffering and this respect is destroyed by the notion of a doctor being looked upon as a grocery shop owner who gives treatment in return for money;thanks to CPA. 3)A human body has millions of biological variables and it is impossible for a humanbeing to know,how and why,all these biological variables will interact to produce a disease. 4)The Hippocratic Oath has become irrelevant in 21 […]
TOBACCO AND SMOKING
Tobacco and Smoking cigarettes:INDIAN EVIL : The world must be shocked to know that indian politicians and indian media are more in favour of tobacco lobby than anti-tobacco lobby. Indeed,India is a rogue state.This is the truth. If anybody from the rest of the world analyse my life,he/she will conclude that india is a rogue state. Smoking cigarettes is the commonest cause of preventable death in the world. One out of five americans die prematurely due to smoking. Everyday 2500 indians die due to smoking and tobacco. Cigarette and tobacco industries defend themselves for providing employement to thousands. You cannot earn livelihood by killing innocent people because then,you become criminals. Smoking cigarette is not a personal matter as passive smoking also kills innocent bystanders. If attempting suicide is an offence,then,smoking is also an offence as it kills the smoker. There should be a picture warning on cigarette packets stating that […]
STEM CEL THERAPY AND HUMAN CLONING
HUMAN STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THERAPY AND ALSO HUMAN CLONING : Today,I will discuss the very interesting and fascinating topic and scientific achievement,namely,human stem cell research and therapy along with human cloning. The intention is to take on various world leaders and religious leaders who have been misleading the people of the world on this subject either due to their ignorance or arrogance or false dogmas. The stem cells have a remarkable potential to differentiate into various specific cell types in the body to serve as a repair system for the body and to replenish other cell types.The stem cells have 2 basic features namely self-renewal indefinitely and differentiation into specific cell type.The stem cell are of 2 types namely Embryonic Stem Cell(ESC) and Adult Stem Cell(ASC).The ESC can differentiate into 220 specific cell types like heart cell,blood cell,bone cell etc etc. The stem cell therapy is useful to treat […]
ALCOHOL
ALCOHOL: Today, I will discuss the most controversial topic for about 12000 years,namely, Alcohol.The alcohol is consumed by 80 % of people at some time in their lives. Alcohol or Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol is defined as an organic compound composed of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen atoms with the molecular configuration as CH3CH2OH. I will not discuss other alcohols like methyl alcohol,propyl alcohol etc etc. The human beings have been consuming alcohol in various alcoholic beverages since 10000 year BC…. I wrote my thesis on alcohol in the year 1986 for my MD exam and concluded that the life-span of a heavy alcoholic is reduced by 12 years; and one out of six deaths in a government hospital is related to alcoholism.I was novice and naive then and the sample size of my study was limited. Whisky is a short form of usquebaugh where uisce means water and bethad means of […]
