NERVOUS TIME: CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND TIME


Although the nervous system is a pretty tangible mass comprising nervous tissue mainly, and time is quite intangible; there are pretty astonishing facts that they seemingly buttress in spite of their clear differences.
Taking a break from our series on hearing right, we observe the astounding similarities between the nervous system’s component, the brain and time.
1.      Both offer you a grand choice: You  can decide to either fritt away or invest your time, as much as you can choose to waste a large part of your brain while shying away as much as possible from doing anything remotely mentally-exerting.
2.       Memory: The common phrase “Time will tell” briefly encapsulates the fact that time really, does manage to bring up decisions, actons, words of the past to stare into our faces. The concept of memory (which time makes use of) isn’t any stranger. Memory storage occurs in the brain; and certainly, in the healthy, the brain does tell!
3.      Cash value: it has been constantly stated that “time is money”. In fact, time is often more than money, for time once lost, cannot be regained…in that way they are like non-retrievable words. Actually, he brain, if properly used, is an active source of income. Brain power brings wealth, as avid author Napoleon Hill states in his classic “Think and Grow Rich”.
4.      Brain death≠ Time death, but:
Time death= Brain death
These equations hold because a person who’s brain dead but whose heart is still beating has the same amount of time you and I have, albeit, cannot utilize it. Conversely, he who has run out of time, definitely, has run out of life!
5.      You can’t make true use of your time, without making good use of your brain:
 Or should it be the other way round?
Well…the point is this, mental activity is time and if I may add, glucose consuming

If you want to make better use of your time than most, the solution is quite simple: be nerve-ous. Use your nervous wiring well.
In layman words, THINK!

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ . Linda pointed to the area around her umbilicus. ‘Have you had any episode of vomiting?’ ‘No sir’ Felix answered spontaneously. ‘You must be her boyfriend, right?’ Dr.Brown asked, with a mischievious grin ...

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...

CHRONICLES OF A NIGERIAN PHYSIOTHERAPIST by 'Bola Abioye

EPISODE FIVE ‘Mum, who called you this time again?’ I finally asked. ‘Oh… Charles, that’s what matters to you now right. What matters to you is if it’s Prophet Jabesh or Prophet Judas that called me?’ Then I burst into laughter. I can’t help but wonder why these prophets must bear names as Judas, Jabesh…if you know, you know. Then she changed it for me straight up. ‘Charles, why exactly are you laughing? You know I get scared anytime you get close to that girl and you know that I am at the risk of having stroke with the way my blood pressure rises in little situations.’ There she goes again. My mum gets little information on health precautions and that’s the end. We hear nothing else save what she has learnt in the house for about at least a month. She subscribes to all sorts of health tips on her network and then tries to confirm her newly found information from me. She has several facts on why eating eba, using an onion bulb that has been cut once and use...
