Let Freedom Fly

Fascinating Story by the American Storyteller, as always. Great people who sacrifice their lives during the war. At the end of the war, found a calling in a Medicine and spent their life helping the sick. We owe them our gratitude.

Dad in sailor suit_peMy dad yearned to be a doctor from the moment he saw ol’ Doc Weeks, the county physician, set a leg. At 16, he thumbed his way from Talking Rock, Georgia, to Atlanta, where he worked as an office boy. He was in a hurry. The war was on. Youthful impatience wore down his father, who finally signed the papers so Dad could enlist at 17.

He tested to be an airplane mechanic. Nevertheless, my father bumped into some brass and flatly told them he didn’t want to fight the war with a toolbox. He ended up as a pharmacist’s mate on an LST (landing ship tank). It was his first crack at hands-on healing.320px-US_Navy_LST_Landing_Sherman_pe

After pulling wounded off Utah Beach on D-Day, Dad transferred to the Pacific Theater. The typhoons terrified more than the kamikazes. The LST crew could bellow clouds of smoke to camouflage the ship from divine-wind…

Let Freedom Fly.

Above link by  Random Storyteller is a classical example of how some great humans spent their lives serving humanity. Sacrificed their lives during the Great War and at the end of it went into Medicine. It’s life dedicated to serving others. We must remain grateful to all those great men and women forever.

Vocabulary Dump: Five Words I Love to Hate

250 pix Paisley_Abbey_gargoyle_06_pe I am all for the First Amendment. Say what you want. However, if I hear these five words again, I will clamp my hands over my ears. Permanently.

1) “AWESOME!”

After 15 years of verbal assault, this word is still hanging around. If recaptured by film, the spider in Charlotte’s Web may replace “some pig,” “terrific,” or “humble” with “AWESOME!”CharlotteWeb_pe

Then Wilbur will be required, by courtesy of updated computer tactics, to perform a triple Salchow, triple toe-loop to the thrill of gen z huddled over their mobile devices. If the plucky little pig cannot pull off this feat, Farmer Zuckerman will dispatch him to quick bacon-hood as opposed to glory at the state fair. (Fern did not comment as of presstime.)

How else would we compliment boney, red-carpet divas, Miss America, Mrs. America, Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, Miss Universe, America’s Top Model, and blushing…

World Family Doctor Day

20 Tuesday May 2014

Posted by Dr Mustapha Tahir in Medical

≈ 5 Comments

Nomadic GP

Today, May 19th, is World Family Doctor Day. This is the day when we general practitioners / family physicians / primary care doctors get to sit back, crack out the party poppers and pat ourselves on the back for the good work we do for our patients and communities.

Here in Australia, we instinctively know how important we are in the health system. We know that we do the vast majority of the medical care in this country, with only a small proportion of our patients ever stepping foot in our secondary and tertiary hospitals. We also know that without strong primary care, the overall health system would crumble. In our low tech setting we use our clinical judgement to absorb a lot of the risk of uncertainty, keeping acutely unwell patients out of emergency departments. Our focus on preventive health care keeps the population healthier for longer, reducing…

Dr Mustapha Tahir: On bringing criminal charges against Doctors for wilful neglect.

15 Thursday May 2014

Posted by Dr Mustapha Tahir in Law, Medical

≈ 4 Comments

Update: GPs face criminal charges for ‘wilful neglect’ | Letter | Pulse Today.

The proposals being advanced by the Government, in the above link, is unworkable and a further example of the current regime’s  anti-physicians attitude.

Doctors are already over regulated in the UK, forcing many to practice defensive medicine. There are so many regulators in the UK: The General Medical Council, GMC, The Care Quality Commission, CQC, The Health and Safety Executives, HSE, The Medical Practitioner Tribunal services, MPTS etc etc

I am all for bad Doctors being appropriately punished. That is why we have the annual appraisals and a licence Revalidation every five years. Doctors should be allowed to look more after their Patients, rather than being forced into defensive medical practice. Little wonder so many UK Physicians are emigrating  to Canada and Australia, or prematurely retiring. I sincerely hope common sense will prevail when these proposals reach Parliament in form of a bill. That bill should be thrown out at first reading in my opinion.
