Assuming that the first Confession is Real and not fake

Now
This could be due to 4 causes (etiology) 1.
Her husband is at fault

2.
She is at fault

3.
Both are at Fault

4.
Neither is at fault. The Circumstances are at fault / Society is at fault / there was miscommunication / there was misunderstanding

Now
We need to solve the problem
So
We need to find the cause

Thread :

There are news that MBBS Graduates will be posted Mandatorily in PHCs for 2 years and then only given certificate

In My Opinion

This is a very very wrong move

I say this not from the point of view of the graduate, but from point of view of a common man Before one you jump and start your lecture on the importance of Doctors in Villages blah blah
Let me tell you that I had worked for 3 years in PHC

And
I can also tell you that I did not merely "scratch my chair" but did some work

#FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on #BCG (#Bacille #Calmette-#Guerin) #Vaccine Trial
Question : Will BCG vaccine really benefit to control COVID in elderly ?
My Answer : Yet, It will. But, “control”, (like Prevent or Save) is a wrong word to be used. The Right word is “Reduce” BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to control COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to prevent COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t save elderly from COVID
But
BCG Vaccine will reduce Mortality and Morbidity in Elderly

To Substantiate this, they are planning to start a trial

Often I find GEMs talk about #Empathy and #Compassion in Healthcare
And
Without exception, those who insist these are the people who totally Lack Empathy and Compassion

Empathy
is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

(GEM - Google Educated Morons) What does this mean
This means that
The Doctor should understand and share the feelings of the patient
Or
The doctor should feel the pain of the patient himself / herself
The Doctor should feel the apprehensions of the patient himself / herself

Sirumugai is a small village east of Mettupalayam in Coimbatore District. Once upon a time, it was bustling when South India Viscose was in Full Glory. After that it became a sleepy village.

Needless to add, access to Coaching Classes etc was less and limited there But, that did not prevent Jayamohan to score 1179/1200 in 12th Exams in 2007, get the State 3rd Rank and join MBBS in Madras Medical College in 2007.

He was a very intelligent, hardworking and sincere CRRI

After completing MBBS, he joined Government Service and worked in PHC

Blood has three main functions

1. Facts
2. Opinion
3. Wish
4. Belief

And keep on Arguing

They are common with every one

There is a fort and the fort has 100 soldiers
Now
What happens when an enemy comes and attacks this forte Assume that the enemy has 10 soldiers
The 100 soldiers in the forte will kill them in no time
And
After killing them, they will seize the enemies weapons, their maps, their attacking methods and be prepared for next attack

Infection - The Virus or Bacteria Destroys your cells

Immunity - The Virus or Bacteria does not directly destroy the cells. But the Immune reaction to the virus or bacteria destroys the cells @learning_pt Starvation : Food becomes Scarce or Money becomes scarce, mostly due to hoarding when panic is created by media or rumours

There are many viruses which can affect the respiratory system (throat, lungs)

Depending on how bad the virus (bad means ability to cause bad to you) is and how good your immune system is and the number of viruses attacking you The Following Can Happen
1. Virus is killed by your immune system (if the virus cannot cause bad to you, less virus comes, you have good immune system) and it cannot go out of your nose or mouth

2. Virus comes and gets away unharmed
