I WRITE TO YOU: LETTER TO MEDICS

1 John 2:13,15

I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

This letter of encouragement is written after the fashion of John in 1 John 2. It goes thus:

I write unto you, medical students; for your sins of commission and omission have been forgiven. Do not be disconcerted…

I write unto you, fresh medical school graduates, residents, young doctors and everyone who’s climbing the professional ladder in the medical field. You have the word of medicine abiding in you and consequently, you have aced/ will ace all your qualifying exams!

I write unto you, consultants and professors; for you have known, understood and being in this practice long enough. Your experienced hands are skillful, your knowledge is inestimable and your insight, invaluable…

Do not be swept off your feet by the alluring features of the profession. Keep your eyes fixed on truth. Let not knowledge puff you up. Let not your errors destabilize you. If you love the Father, the profession would lead you towards him. If not, it might lead you farther from him!

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1. REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2. DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3. PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches. Branc...
