Query ..

Hey all ..
I was going to update my blog yesterday but my internet card finished while am replying in Warda blog it was around 2 oclock after midnight .. and I think omantel never could have so much swears and curses in one night from a single person but afterall am kuwaiti :)

any way .. I was going to post a picture today but i changed my mind I will talk about something .. something i mesure by it how much am depressed ..

it is actually a question state that

"If you are in the forest and there is free lion .. and you were forced to choose eaither to be handicapped with no legs or to be blind .. what will you choose ??"

Dont try to answer this question without thinking just think about it ..

do you prefer to die runing and hitting all the trees .. and maybe gong by your legs to the hungry lion .. ir you prefer sitting in the ground and looking for your unpleasant fate ..

Sorry but i was little bit depressed today i hope i will get over it today ..

I even ordered from Pizza Hut today .. which is a sign that am really depressed dont know why but I always do that when am depressed

See you soon ..

Price Negotiation !!!!

Today I went to the university to pass some papers to my friend in the Cambus .. after having some chit chat about the upcoming exam next tuesday and trying to guess some of the questions ( just like other Normal students ) I returned back to my car to see that there is a big spot underneath my car .. and some thing is leaking from the car .. is it water !! ? is it oil ?? the only thing am sure of that it is not Blood :P

Any way by using my experiece ( smelling the fluid :) ) I discovred that it is the green water of the radiator .. ( the part which is in charged for cooling the engine ) Now am in trouble it is leaking and itis 2 oclock in Muscat which mean the weather is very HOT and the part which is incharge for cooling the car is not workign .. what a luck !! ..

i waited till 4 oclock till the weather become little bit cooler and till the shops open so i can drive directly to them ..when i reach there the technician told me that the hose which is delivering the water is leaking so it need to be changed i was Duhh .. ok how much it will cost .. he said " I dont know since I dont sell parts I only fix them , I will buy it then you can come by 8 oclock and pay me for parts and for fixing them " I asked him to change the air filter and something else that seem to be worn of ( am so illiterate when it comes to cars ) ..

When I came at 9 everythign was done and the Car was not leaking any more .. I was really happy about that .. when i asked " and how much everythign cost me Boss " he said " the parts + fixing them plus washing them cost you 44 Rial " I was like hmm good price isnt it I was preparing to pay around 70 I've even withdraw them from the ATM... but i said lets try to shake it .. i said " Oh common why is that !! it is only a hose !!! " he said yeah but the fixing thing and the hose and ..." "Common this is really TOO much " i said .. after few attemps the price fall to 32 !!! Do you belive that .. 12 Rial reduction in the price which is around 25% of the original price ..

what do you think about this I mean after paying I felt that am still had been cheated .. I feel that still could pay less cause I am really beginer in negotiation .. before few years I didnt belive in negotiation as i thought if I liked the price then i will take the thing if not i will search for something cheaper but then I found I can take the same thing for cheaper price then why not !!

Women are better in negtiation isnt it ?

what do you think about the whole thing !!

After the Exam.....

Hi again :) ,

thanks all for your support actually I was shocked with the replies as i though no body will check my blog :) but it was so nice that i was wrong :) ..

I finished my first exam today i have another one in Tuesday inshala and for whom who dont know am a medical students in SQU ( sultan Qaboos university )in the Sultanate of Oman

today exam was practical one so you have to take a patient ,take history from him , do examinations for him then should reach a valid diagnosis and a prescribe a proper treatmen sound easy ha :) well it is not as a matter of fact ..

anyway the exam time is one hour so i love to chitchat with the patient for 45 minute taking very prolonged history about his/her illness , go deep into his social and family histoy .. i love to do so .. and it is my jop amean I dont do that becouse am curious ( or atleast i hope that am not ) but becouse sometimes there is strong relation between the patient illness and his/her social ,psychological and family life ..

well this is not our topic today !!! ( Common )

My patient today was a 18 year old married Gentelman who works as a farmer ,,
he was suffering from vomiting of one day duration , knee and back pain for two months duration
..
all the medical stuff was done to him by me( i dont think you really care about those details) and a proper treatment was intiated ..

but i want to focus in his Social history as an example for many many patient we see and they account for a reasonalbe percentage of our society ..

he is working as farmer as i said , taking 115 OMR which is about 299$ per month ( used this site for converting clickhere).. and he have 15 brothers and sisters living in the same house which is apear to be rented and have olny three rooms!!! Well just imagine that .. his father and mother and all the 15 brother and sister and his wife ( he is married since 4 months ) are all living in the same house .. with 5 ppl living in one room gosh this is really crowded fortunatly his father is working so at least they have another salary they can depend on .. his father salary is 150 OMR as he is working as dustman in the municipality

now i want you to imagine few things ..

He is recently married and their private room are shared by anotehr 4 brother and sisters ...

Only one car is availabe in this house owned by the father .. and they are thinking about selling it since they cant cover the maintainance .. and any way what a single saloon car can do for all those buddies ..

i may apear silly to you but imagine a house with no tv no satalite no vidio no computer and no internet no that becouse they dont want those stuff .. they really want .. but they cant unfortunatly afford it ..

as i said before i love to take long history .. that help me to discover the probelm .. he is working as a farmer and he stand and work in speciall position that really over stress the knee and the back .. he cant afford changing his work becouse he cant find any other jop and he cant afford looking for work becouse who will look for his family at that time ..

so it is not the matter of medicine here.. it is more of his social life .. whatever treatment you give him will be temporary .. he knew that .. you knew that but you keep prescribing it .. i hate this jop sometimes ..

we reffer the patient to the social affairs maybe they can help him with something ..


one last thing.. do you belive that we should have 15 children even if we dont have enough money to raise them .. I belive in God , but God also gave us brain to think ..

thanks for reading it and sorry for making it sooo long
