A PURSE HERE, A PULSE THERE.



Most purses are very representative of their owners, and are mostly borne around- i.e. wherever the owner is going he (actually, it’s mostly she) carries it along.
Therefore, a pulse can be easily related to the well-known purse used to carry money, cards, and some other things that might be needed in cases of emergency.
In medicine, one’s pulse refers to the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips, at any place in the body which allows for arterial compression against a bone.
In summary, the calculated pulse is pretty concurrent with the heart rate.
Purses reflect our financial status (mostly), as much as pulses reflect our heartbeats.
It wouldn’t be bad if we all learned how to check our pulse rates; medic or no medic as it’s pretty reflective. It’s very simple; just place your right index and middle fingers a little inferior to your left wrist, at the side of your hand where the thumb is located- just like in the picture above. Count for 1 minute, note the strength i.e. the way it bounces up against your hand. The normal pulse rate is between about 60-90 beats per minute, at rest. To know more about your pulse, you could also check it up on-net.

May our purses and our pulses make us smile!

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
