Signs, Signs Everywhere

How many signs do we see everyday on average? Little boards telling us where to go, what to watch out for, where to tread carefully and a lot more. Shops, roads, cars, buildings - there is a signboard in every one of them. I work in a hospital and have for the past 18 months taken exactly the same route to the surgical ward on level 3. I am curious to see how many signs my eyes glance at everyday. There are plenty - but have I ever read them?

Let me try and recollect. 'Cosultant Obstetrician On Call', 'Maternity...???', '???Access to Theatres, ITU, CCU Only', a board on the inside of the lifts listing out all the wards and what floors they are on, 'Ward 3/4', '??Access for Staff Only', etc. I am sure that these are only a fraction of the actual number. I will pick up a dictaphone tomorrow and actually read them all into it as I walk the walk.

Oh, and on a completely different note, I completed uploading the tamil version of Wikipital. It is now live at http://ta.wikipital.com. It took awfully long to complete the translation. Thanks a lot to the guys who had already done a lot of the work for Wikipedia.

The Leaking Aneurysm

The worst of partialities is to withold oneself, the worst of ignorance is not to act, the worst lie is to steal away. - CHARLES PEGUY (1873-1914) A few months ago, I was faced with an exceptionally difficult situation. It was fairly routine to start with. A 68 year old man was brought into A&E with a leaking abdominal aneurysm. He was in hypovolemic shock and I was the surgical doctor on call. It was obvious that he needed urgent surgery and I spoke to the vascular surgeon on call and agreed to transfer the patient to the oeprating theatre while he got to the hospital. The patient was on the operating table, fully anaesthetised, 30 mins after I first saw him in A&E. And, he was deteriorating fast. The consultant anesthetist asked me if I had clamped the aorta before. I said that I had never done it before though I had assisted numerous aneurysm surgeries and knew how to do it. I said I probably could do it if the situation was desperate. At this stage, I asked the theatre s...

Bollywood Movies on Goolge Video

I was browsing Google Videos today and clicked on the 'Top 100' link and chose 'India' to see what was being posted by my countrymen. I was very surprised to find two videos that were over 2 hours long at the first and third positions. The first one had 158,314 views and the third one had 33,453 views. They both turned out to be complete Bollywood movies. Now, if this isn't copyright infringement, then what is. Google does not have an easy mechanism to flag a video as copyrighted material. Check out t his page for yourself to see what I mean. One of the videos was posted by a site called megaload .com. (no hyperlink here to save you the trouble. Take my word for it when I say...) It turns out to be a parked domain with only a zillion pop-up ads to boast. Come on guys...if you want to watch a movie, pay for it. But, just look at the number of views and the ratings. I bet most of these have come from outside India. I live in the UK and it is not very often that...

Trauma

Just back from work. Had a 70 year old chap involved in an accident. His motorcycle was bumped off by a car. But it was great to see everybody work so efficiently....organised chaos was what it was. He has got some really major injuries. I hope he makes it. I have worked in trauma before..In one of the busiest hospitals in India. Has always made me realise that everything in one's life can change in a snap. We have seen distraught families, wifes, daughters, mothers and husbands, sons and fathers devastated by accidents. The story is typical. Somebody goes to work. Doesn't come back in time. And the family gets a phone call(if they have a phone) or a kind autorickshaw driver calling at their home to tell them that their son/whoever has been in an accident and has been taken to such and such hospital. I would have expected 3 years of such experiences would make one numb to the emotional side of things...But it never does. One can only do so much to hide emotions and to appear st...
