Perception !!


Any Reasons ? Posted by Picasa

CONCEPT : OPTICAL ILLUSION

July 27, 2005

I miss my college days !!

Here are few incidents from my college life !!


1.This happened during my first year,first week of UG Course.We were taken to Anatomy dissection hall for tutoring in Basic Anatomy course. A sign board welcomed us at the entrance :"WELCOME..HERE THE DEAD TEACHES THE ALIVE". With shivers,we entered the hall to see cadavers lined up. Few weak hearted girls,that could not stand the stench,that had heard about stories of ghosts , fainted at the first sight and were given first aid.
I could sense the essence of life then !!

During this session,my professor taught us an important skill. He told us to imitate as what he did. He touched a brain specimen with his finger,and put in his mouth. Few of us imitated him ,but none correctly .Yeah..He touched the specimen with his little finger and put the ring finger in his mouth. None of us OBSERVED him...we learnt that OBSERVATION is the key !!
OBSERVE !!

2.This happened during the first year ,Basic Instrumentation course. We got a tutor, from south of Tamil Nadu to teach us. At the end of the class, she asks us to "reproduce" what she had taught . Having a medical b/g ,We would say" No Ma'm, not here Ma'm, not right now Ma'm" .But she would insist us that we "reproduce", creating a laugh riot in the class. It went to the extent that she reported the incidents in the staff room,but to create an another round of laugh riot..
But,she was such a sweet teacher and we liked her very much.
Pity : She is no more, expired in a road accident. RIP+

3. This happened during our clinical postings at Otology/Audiology dept.The case files were stacked at the Doctors desk,and he reviewed the files for priority treatment .He picked up a file for a patient named "Baby". The patient was called inside..

Doctor : Kuzhanthai enge ma?
Pt of 60 yrs old :En peru thaanga Baby....

4.During a busy week day ,i was taking case history for a patient pertaining to her ear disease.

Me : Inniku thanni vanduchaa??
Pt : Ama Sir, 4 kodam thaan vitaanga.....
Me : Kathula thanni vanduchaa??

I meant the ear discharge.....Namma makkal is more worried about "water" than anything else !!

5.Again,during a busy crowded week day , the attendant called for a patient. The called person got in,We did the evaluation for an hour ,but to find normal results. We told her not to worry about her condition.

She said : Naan patient illenga..patient velila otkaandu irukaanga,naan avanga kooda vanthen..
We :itha munnadiye solli irukalaam illaya ??
She :Pt peyara koopithathum naan ezhunthiruchen, attentant amma enna ulla ittanthiruchu....

My Dad/Brother has their happenings to share ,but few censored as i have "magalir"readers too......

NOTE: Iam not a Doctor,but a Health Care Professional (Will let you know what Iam) . The above mentioned incidents were experienced at the Medical College Hospital where i studied.

நம்பிக்கை !!

மதிப்பிற்குரிய திரு.நாராயணன் அவர்களே...

பணமா?? பாசமா ?? - -1

டாலரை நம்பினான் மகன்
மகனை நம்பினர் பெற்றோர்
காலம் கரைந்தது

மகன் பெற்றோரை மறந்து துறந்து
குடியேறினான் அமெரிக்காவில்
பெற்றோர் மகனை துறந்து தவித்து
குடியேறினர் முதியோர் இல்லத்தில்....

பணமா?? பாசமா ?? - -2

சுக கனவுகளுடன் அமெரிக்கா
பயணமானான் நண்பன்
காலம் கரைந்தது

வேலையில் தன்னை இழந்தான்
நிம்மதி இழந்தான் அன்பை இழந்தான்
வெறுமையை உணர்ந்தான் முடிவெடுத்தான்
தாயகம் சொர்க்கம் என நம்பினான்
மீண்டும் இந்தியா பயணமானான்.....

BLOG ETHICS !!

Mr.Ambi has prompted Prabhu to blog this post.


A BLOGGERS' CODE OF ETHICS

Be Honest and FairBloggers should be honest and fair in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
Bloggers should:
• Never plagiarize.
• Identify and link to sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability.
• Make certain that Weblog entries, quotations, headlines, photos and all other content do not misrepresent. They should not oversimplify or highlight incidents out of context.
• Never distort the content of photos without disclosing what has been changed. Image enhancement is only acceptable for for technical clarity. Label montages and photo illustrations.
• Never publish information they know is inaccurate -- and if publishing questionable information, make it clear it's in doubt.
• Distinguish between advocacy, commentary and factual information. Even advocacy writing and commentary should not misrepresent fact or context.
• Distinguish factual information and commentary from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two.

Minimize Harm Ethical bloggers treat sources and subjects as human beings deserving of respect.
Bloggers should:
• Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by Weblog content. Use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects.
• Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.
• Recognize that gathering and reporting information may cause harm or discomfort. Pursuit of information is not a license for arrogance.
• Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention. Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone's privacy.
• Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity. Be cautious about identifying juvenile suspects, victims of sex crimes and criminal suspects before the formal filing of charges.

Be Accountable
Bloggers should:
• Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.
• Explain each Weblog's mission and invite dialogue with the public over its content and the bloggers' conduct.
• Disclose conflicts of interest, affiliations, activities and personal agendas.
• Deny favored treatment to advertisers and special interests and resist their pressure to influence content. When exceptions are made, disclose them fully to readers.
• Be wary of sources offering information for favors. When accepting such information, disclose the favors.
• Expose unethical practices of other bloggers.
• Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others.

PLEASE ENTER YOUR PASSWORD !!

Isn't it interesting how people will read anything posted on the blogs ?? YOU , for instance are reading this. And eventhough if you donot want to read this, you will continue reading it.Look, you are here..still reading...Not because you find it amusing,but just because you are here. For example,let me talk about passwords.You would hear this statement " PLEASE ENTER YOUR PASSWORD !!" atleast couple of times a day.I wonder how secured our lives are with just those numeric and alphanumeric digits.Right from the time you start your computer, you require passwords to log on, get on to blogger account ,for Hello,Picasa ,to check your emails , to read online magazines,for online banking,pay bills etc etc... .Even when you use your phone, you need passwords for accessing your voice mail, for calling cards and more. There are many more situations where password or access code is needed.You can list them in my comments section. I am afraid what would happen if i get a brain trauma and who has access to my accounts ?? Is there any way out to remember or safeguard the passwords ??. Ok,Right about now,you are probably asking yourself "why am i still reading this??" .Perhaps,you are even pretending you are not reading it anymore.......But you are..Aren't you ??
