CONTINUITY...

BODY FLUIDS CONTINUE INTO ONE ANOTHER…FROM SPIRIT TO SOUL, TO THE BODY.
In the human body; our extra-cellular values are important extracellularly but designed only for the extracellular compartments; and for optimum function it shouldn’t be obtained intracellularly. In the event of ECF values being obtained intracellularly; serious damage could occur. In light of these, we would compare the extracellular components of body fluids; in this case representing the body of the typical believer with the intracellular values that represent believers’ spirits; the transcellular fluid being fluid in which believers souls float.

·         BODY & BLOOD IS IN ECF
·         TRANSCELLULAR/INTERSTITIAL FLUID EMBEDS THE SOUL
·         SPIRIT IS EMBEDDED IN THE ICF


SOUL (transcellular fluid- corresponds to ECF)
Even at new birth, the soul and body are not born again: Thus, the unregenerate soul, along with its bodily correspondent has the following ions (characteristics) in great amounts:
·         Na+ : highest amount of cations; which is characteristically represented by Pride
·         Cl- : highest amount of anions; represented characteristically by the Law- which is responsible for fueling & maintaining sin.
·         Ca2+: which is represented b  y inordinate ambition
·         HCO3-: represented by self-consciousness
Solutions to these problems are catered for in the scriptures:
·         Make a decisive dedication of your body to GOD as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to him, which is your reasonable service –Romans 12:1
·         Be not conformed to the standards of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind Romans 12:2
SPIRIT (corresponds to ICF)
The communion of the Holy Spirit with a newly-recreated Spirit makes that Spirit possess several qualities, as exemplified by some specific ions, namely:
·         K+: greatest amount of spiritual cations; its represented characteristically by selflessness/ love
·         P04 3-: highest amount of spiritual negatively (like charges repel, unlike charges attract) charged ions; its represented characteristically by people of maximum positive influence
·         Mg2+: For energy metabolism. It is represented by Godly and wonder-working power, infused by the Holy Spirit into the life of every believer in Christ/ every Christian for the digestion, absorption of God’s word and consequent cell growth and development
Indeed: “Living the Christian life is not about following a series of laborious religious rituals to make u a better person- it’s about joyfully pursuing JESUS by the power of the Holy Spirit.” We cannot live the life that Christ called us to live without one of the most essential things that comes along with the new birth- which also is the best gift of all: THE HOLY SPIRIT; which is for OUR EMPOWERMENT & REGENERATION.

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

CLINICALLY: CLERKING AND CLECKING

A typical medical practitioner knows all about this process of clerking, this is basically the first thing he does when attending to a patient i.e. he clerks. Clinically, clerking involves: 1.       History Taking- involves taking demographic data, noting the main presenting problems, past medical history, history of main presenting complaint, family history, occupational history, drug history, alcohol history e.t.c. Basically, it helps in determination of symptoms. 2.       Physical Examination- is useful in the elicitation of signs of the disease in question. 3.       Provisional and differential diagnosis: the clinical history and physical examination conducted will help the clinician arrive at provisional diagnosis, from which he arrives at a differential diagnosis. 4.       Management Plan- involves investigative procedures (e.g. haematological investigations) as well as a treatment plan for the diagnosed disease. How about clecking? Clecking is not a word that’s us

ALL THESE ENDLESS STUDYING !… On exams and fear All these comparing and measuring ourselves by ourselves! Its so wrong and self-limiting. All these numerous, bulky, endless exams in medical school can get even the strongest of us  jittery! However, the most successful person isn’t the one whose prime goal is a 100% on the scoresheet but those with the excellent mentality that to be a good doctor, you have to have the requisite knowledge. Just to remind us of our prime focus,  which is true excellence that comes, not from passing an exam from excelling superbly at what you do:  “Medicine is more than the application of scientific facts to treat people. If your highest goal is to simply pass the exams, you may still succeed but the journey will be fraught with much anguish. However, if you remember that someday, you can relieve the suffering of one individual or save just a person’s life from what you’d learn each day as you study, all your efforts will take a new meaning and purp
