House Job
I frequently get students from Pakistan to rotate with me. The following is a share from one of the students.
"Sir! A House Job in Pakistan can be a farce. It is full of skud work. It is more of a slavery. Learning entirely depends on the person himself. In some cases, you don't even get paid. One of the account section clerks held my last three months of salary, as I mistakenly shared that I am going to the USA as soon as I finish the House Job.
My father is a physician who did his MBBS during Pakistan's golden days of medical education. Now, it's all expensive fees. Students start preparing for USMLE from day one. It's an investment, not an education, and a relatively easy way to get a USA visa.
My father saw me after the first three days of my house job. He asked how was it?
I furiously replied: Horrible!
He just mumbled: Hmmm.
I continued: 'Pehle din registrar ne kaha, mere rishtedaar ka le ja ker MRI kerwa do. Poora din lag gaya. Dusre din, aik aur senior ne apne kisi rishtdar ke bachhe ki circumsision kerwane bhijwa diya"
Father asked: "Did you learn anything?"
I replied: "Is main kiya lean kerne ka tha?"
Father said, "In medicine, your learning starts as you enter the hospital. It's like a leaning temple. You could have learned from MRI technicians about the essentials they look for before the procedure, how they determine different cuts, and how they process films - or a difference between a closed and open MRI - The next day, you could have learned how they determine the length of the foreskin for circumcision. It all depends on you."
From then on, I changed my approach. As I indulged at every step with a learning mindset, I felt I had become a different person and a better physician.

On Men, Women, Love, Lust, and Relationship
(Someone wrote on Quora)
Whereas there will be a gap between the two sexual intercourses of the male...
He will jerk away from the female after the first mating.
And it is his nature to want to sleep.
Whereas the female nature is entirely opposite.
She is eager to hear those words from his mouth immediately after intercourse that will tickle her...
She doesn't know that a man cannot love after love
He may yearn for love after the war.
He basically plays the role of hunter?
Yes, in civilized society, this tendency is covered in beautiful clothes.
Hitler, the world's greatest dictator, used to kill five hundred men every day and write love songs with his head in his girlfriend's lap.
His cheeks would get wet while describing the past moments of separation from her.
Enraged by the carnage in the Kalinga war, Ashoka yearned for love...
He incorporated Buddhist philosophy into himself in this way
Today, Ashoka and Buddhist philosophy cannot be separated.
Even Napoleon Bonaparte used to take off his armor and immerse himself in love; he was so romantic and dedicated to his beloved.
At this time, no poet or even a man with an innocent heart can be so dedicated.
He will play for some ten minutes.
Which will not satisfy him in any way...
To get this satisfaction, he may be eager to change his partner.
Wherever social bonds are weak, this change occurs within about six months.
But these changes neither change the situation nor his mentality...
That means he fails to love in getting love.
If it becomes an outlet for the wildness of man
So he can love, he can receive, he can give...
This is one reason the female always leans towards the unruly male rather than the socially civilized one.
This is why spoiled guys get devoted girlfriends.
Let the boys get the tag of being socially civilized...

Go with the flow (?)
Sometimes, people around you make comments that stop you to ponder.
Two days ago, while returning from a medical conference, my flight was delayed due to a storm while I was at the gate. The airline offered passengers the option of waiting or changing to other flights. I was intending to take the offer and fly the next day.
I asked one of the passengers (a professor at Mayo Clinic) beside me what we should do. He gave an interesting reply:
" When I was not that wise and used to go with the flow and whatever came my way, I made better choices in life. Since I started thinking of myself as intelligent, I made little progress. Life is a much higher phenomenon, and the human mind, with logic, usually fails against life's curve balls. I guess I will wait."
