" We're all going to die; that's not our problem. Our problem is how to LIVE until we die." The Bible presents death as separation: physical death is the separation of the soul from the body, and spiritual death is the separation of the soul from God. While this might be called a blinding glimpse of the obvious, most of us live our lives without clearly focusing on this reality until we face some kind of crisis--a "wake-up call." This weekend is a good time to rethink our life and question our future. It's the best time to get clear about what's important and why. It's a time to face our feelings about dying. And it's a time to live each day to the best of our ability according to God’s purpose. On some level, we all know life is tenuous, but we tend to avoid thinking that there will always be an end. Since we naturally feel loss and pain when we experience the death of a close friend or family member, we assume that thinking about o...

Here are some nice to know facts about your general health and Body that you may not have known. Toothpaste was 'invented' over 4000 years ago, albeit not in the form we know it -  Egyptians used crushed pumice stone and vinegar as a form of paste. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet  to avoid  airborne particles resulting from the flush. You spend 1/3 of your life in bed. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. Each day we lose anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000 brain cells.     The temporal lobe is the area of the brain that allows humans to hear and understand people speaking. The average human body has 14 to 18 square feet of skin. The skin of the armpits can harbor up to 516,000 bacteria per square inch, while drier areas,  such as the forearm, have only about 13,000 bacteria per square inch. A bird's eye takes up about 50 percent o...

There were instances in my clinical practice where I prescribed this drug to some of my patients. I first encountered this medication when I was rotating at the psychiatric ward during my clerkship. We give this to patients who have difficulty in getting sleep. It is a readily available drug in local pharmacies and as long as a physician has an S2 license, it can be easily prescribed. I encountered this news article regarding it and I find it worth knowing, not just for doctors but for users as well. The sleeping drug Stilnox (Zolpidem), will be sold in packs of no greater than 14 tablets - down from 21, from now on. The updated warning comes as a result of numerous reports of strange and potentially dangerous side-effects which include changes in behaviour and mental state, sleep walking, and undertaking strange and potentially dangerous behaviours while apparently asleep. Studies say that Stilnox packs will include significantly changed Consumer Medicine Informa...

Here's an article from Time about this popular and controversial substance. Melamine , the cheap compound used to bulk up baby formula in China that has sickened at least 1,200 babies across the country and killed at least two so far, once had a much less dubious purpose and, in fact, can be found in some form in most American homes. Composed of nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen, the compound was invented in the 1830s by a German scientist and came into fashion as a material used to make plastics and laminates in the late 1930s. When combined with formaldehyde and exposed to extreme heat, melamine creates a moldable material that, when cooled, is virtually unbreakable and dishwasher-safe. This made it the durable dishware of choice on some U.S. Navy ships during World War II. After the war, designer Russel Wright and the St. Louis-based company Branchell, among others, developed molded dinnerware out of melamine, known as Melmac, designing sets under names like "Fla...

As doctors, we have also our imperfections. We also have moments where we really don’t mean what we say to our patients or we just don’t know what we’re faced with. We make up our own styles in dealing with the situation, and this article is a funny interpretation of our statements. "ANONG PROBLEMA NATIN...?" He has no idea and is hoping you'll give him a clue. "PAANO NA NGA ULIT NAG-UMPISA YAN...?" I'm stalling for time. "KUNG DI MAWALA ANG SAKIT AFTER A WEEK, BALIK KA ULIT." I don't know what it is. Maybe it will go away by itself. "(TO SECRETARY), PAKI-HANAP NAMAN MEDICAL RECORD NI MAM." I want to see if you've paid your last bill before spending anymore time with you. "MERON AKONG good news and bad news." The good news is, I'm going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is, you're going to pay for it. "KAILANGAN KAYO MA-OPERAHAN AGAD." I'd planned a trip to Hawaii next mon...
