Summer Vacations!!!

I haven't been posting lately because nothing much has been going on. Not that I'm complaining this time. Need some time for life to slow down and me to catch up.
The world cup has been living up to its expectations till now and with the round of 16 fast approaching , it will definately get real dramatic. Not that there hasn't been any drama in the group stages. Ecaudor and Ghana qualifying for the round of 16, nobody expected that. I wish Ivory Coast qualified. They played so well and I'm a big fan of Drogba. Coming to the goals. The ones that I loved

1- Frings scoring that last goal in the opening match of the world cup against Costa Rica. The way the ball curved, truly amazing.

2- Joe Cole's strike against Sweden. That needs no words. Reminds me of Ronaldinio's goal last world cup.

3- That Odonokor cross that resulted in a goal in the injury time in Germany's match against Poland. That was class. I don't remember who was at the end of the cross, but Odonkor is one fast kid. I heard he runs a 100 meters in just over 10 seconds. You do the math yourself.

Gerrard has been my favourite player so far. I love the way he plays in big matches. Always able to stay calm, composed and score goals. A gem of a midfielder.
Klose is doing it again; scoring goals like crazy!!! I think he might win the golden boot this time around. What do you people say?
And to round off football. What's up with France? They seem to be in trouble again!!!!! And Brazil, well no offence to their talent, but I don't want them to win the world cup this time around.

And lastly, I think I've found a new crush. Mindi, from beauty from BEAUTY AND THE GEEK. Lolz!!!! That's all for now.

Sorry Story

A few days ago on my medicine ward test. I was allotted a patient who had COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) for the last 10 years. He was receiving steroid treatment via injections from his family doctor, when five years ago he was diagnosed with hepatitis C after complaining of fatigue. 25 days ago, he started havinmg easy bruisablity, swollen face and legs(oedema) , fatigue and blood in stools. On examination, his skin was laden with bruises and injection marks and there was marked oedema on his face and extremities. His liver was enlarged and tender. Liver span was 18 cms. A diagnosis of Cushing syndrome secondary to steroid treatment was diagnosed.
The fact that unsafe injections are being given in Pakistan (if we assume he wasn't exposed to any other risk factors. The patient himself thought the injections were the cause of his Hepatitis C.) is what I want to arrive at. It is utterly sad that doctors who are supposed to ensure the health of the patients are not taking necessary precations to stop the spread of these blood borne pathogens. So whenever you goto ANY doctor, please ensure the syringe being used on you is sterile and new. Make sure it is taken out in front of you from it's package. Afterall, it's your health you are concerned about. And better still, avoid unnecessary injections. If there is an alternative to injections, use it.
