FROM GREY’S ANATOMY

Of course, I watch Grey’s Anatomy. What’s funny that I started not so long ago. And trust me, I’ve gotten so into it that I barely go a day without seeing an episode. Their love lives, I must confess, however, attract me more than their lives as medical professionals…or is it the intertwined assortment/blend? I guess it is.
The vital lesson this series has taught me is that not all happily ever afters eventually end up becoming “happily ever after” and that not all sweethearts/connected lovebirds make it to the end. That’s funny, ain’t it? Coz I thought love was supposed to be enough.
I was particularly baffled when I learnt that Izzy left Karev- after how much he stood by her when she had cancer! I haven’t even seen the episode and my heart is already breaking at the thought.
Well, back to the point: Not every love story will last, it’s simply a fact. And while it’s not a fact that makes me happy, it’s one that makes me cautious.
A relationship- and consequently marriage, isn’t only built on feelings- and even love; I used to think that love was the ultimate, until I discovered that actually, acceptance of love supersedes mere love- in EVERY respect. For example, the fact that Christ died for us all doesn’t guarantee eternal life for all occupants of the earth; it is only true acceptance of this fact and consequent consecration of one’s life to him that guarentees true salvation (Rom 10:9).

Yes, I believe in love. However, love alone is insufficient to bring about the desired change we anticipate; either in relationships or otherwise.

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...

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 hea...

FRUSTRATED???

Sometimes in doubt...but never gonna give up! Sometimes life in and out of the world of medicine could be downright frustrating. What do you do in such situations? Simply watch life unfold or what? I don’t know. Really. I wish I could tell you: Be strong! But sometimes, motivational speeches should be shoved down the closet- deep down. Cos they won’t work. So I’d tell you: look to the Lord and his strength, seek him even in the midst of your pain and the storms around you, cos the sun will shine again. It will. Cos God promises it will.
